Question : Ankit went to Manali, for river rafting. He rows at the rate of 12 km/h in still water. To cover the same distance, it takes him twice as long to row up as to row down the river. Find the rate of flow of the river.

Option 1: 6 km/h

Option 2: 4 km/h

Option 3: 8 km/h

Option 4: 2 km/h

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 4 km/h


Solution : Let the rate of flow of water of the river be $x$.

Let the distance be $y$ km.
According to the question,
$\frac{y}{12-x}=2 × \frac{y}{12+x}$

Question : The effective annual Rate of Interest corresponding to a nominal rate of interest of 13% per annum payable half-yearly is:

Option 1: 26%

Option 2: 26.85%

Option 3: 13%

Option 4: 13.42%

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 13.42%


Solution : Rate of interest per annum = 13%
Rate of interest half yearly = $\frac{13}{2}\%$
Use: Single equivalent increase = $(a+b+\frac{a×b}{100}$)%, where $a$% and $b$% are successive percentage change.
$\therefore$ The effective rate of interest for one year when interest is counted half yearly = $\frac{13}{2}+\frac{13}{2}+\frac{\frac{13}{2}\times\frac{13}{2}
