Question : The simple interest on a sum of money is $\frac {1}{16}$th of the principal and the number of years is equal to the rate per cent per annum. The rate per annum is:
Option 1: $1\frac{1}{2}$%
Option 2: $2\frac{1}{2}$%
Option 3: $3\frac{1}{2}$%
Option 4: $4\frac{1}{2}$%
Correct Answer: $2\frac{1}{2}$%
Solution : We know, Simple Interest =$\frac{\text{Principal×Rate×Time}}{100}$ Let the number of years and rate be $r$ and the sum be $x$. So, according to the given conditions, $\frac{x}{16}=\frac{x×r×r}{100}$ $⇒r^2=\frac{100}{16}$ $\therefore r = \frac{10}{4}=2\frac{1}{2}$% Hence, the correct answer is $2\frac{1}{2}$%.

Question : How many numbers are there between 201 and 401 which are divisible by 5 but not by 4?
Option 1: 30
Option 2: 20
Option 3: 40
Option 4: 45
