Question : 24 men can complete a work in 15 days. How many men are needed to complete the same work in 10 days?
Option 1: 16
Option 2: 20
Option 3: 36
Option 4: 25
Correct Answer: 36
Solution : We know, $M_1D_1= M_2D_2$ Where $M_1$ and $M_2$ are persons and $D_1$ and $D_2$ are days. So, $24×15=M_2×10$ $\therefore M_2=\frac{24×15}{10}=36$ Hence, the correct answer is 36.
Question : Two equal sums are lent at 8% and 4% simple interest p.a, respectively at the same time. The first sum is received 2 years earlier than the other and the amount received in each case is INR 14,500. Each sum is:

Option 2: INR 12,500
Option 3: INR 13,200
Option 4: INR 12,000
Correct Answer: INR 12,500
Solution : $R_1 = 8$% $R_2 = 4$% Let $P$ be the principal sum in both cases and $n$ be the time for the first amount. ⇒ Time for second amount = $n+2$ Since both amounts are equal, simple interest will also be equal. ⇒ $\frac{P_1n_1R_1}{100}
