Option 1: 7.5%

Option 2: 6.66%

Option 3: 6%

Option 4: 5.25%

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 6.66%


Solution : Given: Simple interest = $\frac{4}{9}$ of Principal
Let rate = time = $x$
$\frac{\text{Simple interest}}{\text{Principal}}=\frac{4}{9}$
Now, Simple interest = $\frac{\text{Principal × Rate × Time}}{100}$
⇒ $\frac{\text{Simple interest}}{\text{Principal}} = \frac{x × x}{100}$
⇒ $x^2=\frac{400}{9}$
⇒ $x=\frac{20}{3}=6.66$$
Hence, the correct answer is 6.66%.

Question : A large solid cube is melted and cast into ' N ' small solid spheres, each of radius 3 cm, and ' N + 2 ' small solid cuboids, each of dimensions 4 cm × 4 cm × 6.5 cm. If the length of each side of the large solid cube is 12 cm, then find the value of 'N'. [Use $\left.\pi=\frac{22}{7}\right]$

Option 1: 8

Option 2: 5

Option 3: 7

Option 4: 6

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 7


Solution : According to the question,
Volume of cube = volume of N-solid spheres + Volume of (N + 2) small cuboids
⇒ $12 \times 12 \times 12 =[ N \times \frac{4}{3}\times\pi\times 3^3] + [(N + 2)(4 \times 4 \times 6.5)]$
⇒ $1728 = 36N\pi + 104N
