Question : What should be the least number of years in which the Simple Interest on Rs. 2600 at $6\frac{2}{3}$% will be an exact number of rupees?

Option 1: 3

Option 2: 2

Option 3: 5

Option 4: 4

Team Careers360 12th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 3


Solution : Use the formula below,
Simple Interest = $\frac{\text{Principal×Rate×Time}}{100}$
Let the number of years be $x$.
Simple Interest on Rs. 2600 at the Rate of $6\frac{2}{3}$% interest is,
= $\frac{2600×\frac{20}{3}×x}{100}$
= $\frac{520x}{3}$

Question : If $a= \frac{\sqrt{x+2}+\sqrt{x-2}}{\sqrt{x+2}-\sqrt{x-2}}$, then the value of $(a^{2}-ax)$ is:

Option 1: 1

Option 2: 2

Option 3: –1

Option 4: 0

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: –1


Solution : To solve $(a^{2}-ax)$, we first need to calculate the value of $a$:
$a= \frac{\sqrt{x+2}+\sqrt{x-2}}{\sqrt{x+2}-\sqrt{x-2}} \times \frac{\sqrt{x+2}+\sqrt{x-2}}{\sqrt{x+2}+\sqrt{x-2}} = \frac{2x+2\sqrt{x^2-4}}{4}= \frac{x+\sqrt{x^2-4}}{2}$
⇒ $2a=x+\sqrt{x^2-4}$
⇒ $2a-x=\sqrt{x^2-4}$
Squaring both sides, we have,
⇒ $4a^2+x^2-4ax=x^2-4$
⇒ $a^2-ax=-1$
Hence, the correct answer is –1.
