Question : If the difference between the two numbers is 20 percent of their sum, then what is the ratio of larger number and smaller number?

Option 1: 6 : 5

Option 2: 5 : 4

Option 3: 4 : 3

Solution : Let the two numbers be $x$ and $y$.
Then,
$(x - y) = \frac{20}{100}\times(x + y)$
⇒ $x - y = \frac{1}{5} (x + y)$
⇒ $4x = 6y$
⇒ $\frac{x}{y} = \frac{3}{2}$

Question : At a certain annual rate (rounded off to the nearest integer) of simple interest, a sum of money becomes nine times its original value in 21 years. By how much does the rate of interest change if the same sum of money has to become 12 times its original value in 25 years?

Option 1: Decreases by 6%

Option 2: Increases by 6%

Option 3: Increases by 8%

Option 4: Decreases by 8%

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Increases by 6%


Solution : Let the principal be $x$.
In 21 years the simple interest is $9x-x=8x$
In 25 years the simple interest is $12x-x=11x$
Case I: Time = 21 years
Simple interest = $\frac{\text{Principal × Rate × Time}}{100}$
⇒ Rate = $\frac{8x×100}{21x}$
⇒ Rate = $\frac{800}{21}\approx$
