Question : A sum of Rs. 8,000 will amount to Rs. 8,820 in 2 years if the interest is calculated every year. The rate of compound interest is:
Option 1: 6%
Option 2: 7%
Option 3: 3%
Option 4: 5%
Correct Answer: 5%
Solution : Sum = Rs. 8,000 Total amount = Rs. 8,820 Time = 2 years Let $R$ be the rate. We know, $\text{Total amount}=\text{Principal}×(1+\frac{\text{Rate}}{100})^{\text{Time}}$ $⇒ 8820 = 8000(1+\frac{R}{100})^{2}$ $⇒ \frac{441}{400} = (1+\frac{R}{100})^{2}$ Taking square root on both sides, $⇒ \frac{21}{20}=1+\frac{R}{100}$ $\therefore R = 5\%$ Hence, the correct
Question : The value of $\frac{(0.013)^3+(0.007)(0.000049)}{(0.007)^2+0.013(0.013-0.007)}$ is ______.
Option 1: 0.06
Option 2: 0.02
Option 3: 0.07
Option 4: 0.04
Correct Answer: 0.02
Solution : $\frac{(0.013)^3+(0.007)(0.000049)}{(0.007)^2+0.013(0.013-0.007)}$ = $\frac{(13)^3+7^{3}}{(7^2 + 13^{2} - 7 × 13)×1000}$ Use $(a^{3} + b^{3}) = (a + b)(a^{2} + b^{2} – ab)$ So, $\frac{(0.013)^3+(0.007)(0.000049)}{(0.007)^2+0.013(0.013-0.007)}$ = $\frac{(7 + 13)(7^{2} + 13^{2} – 7 × 13)}{(7^{2} + 13^{2} - 7 × 13) × 1000}$ = $\frac{20}{1000}$ = 0.02
