Question : A sum of money was invested at 10% interest per year, compounded half-yearly, for 18 months. If the amount payable on maturity was INR 64,827, what was the sum invested?

Option 1: INR 55,600

Option 2: INR 56,000

Option 3: INR 56,800

Option 4: INR 56,500

Team Careers360 12th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: INR 56,000


Solution : Given: Amount = INR 64827
Period = 18 months ⇒ n = 3 
Half-yearly interest, R = $\frac{10}{2}$ ⇒ R = 5%
According to the question,
⇒ $A =P(1+\frac{R}{100})^n$   
⇒ $64827=P(1+\frac{5}{100})^3$
⇒ $64827=P(1+\frac{1}{20})^3$
⇒ $64827=P\times\frac{21}{20}\times\frac{21}{20}\times\frac{21}{20}$
⇒ $P=\frac{64827\times20\times20\times20}{21\times21\times21}$
$\therefore P= 56000$
Hence, the correct answer

Question : If $x^2+6x+1=0$, then the value of $(x+6)^3+\frac{1}{(x+6)^3}$ = ?

Option 1: 245

Option 2: 216

Option 3: 186

Option 4: 198

Team Careers360 16th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 198


Solution : $x^2+6x+1=0$
On dividing both sides by $x$,
$⇒x+6+\frac{1}{x}=0$
$⇒x+6=-\frac{1}{x}$ 
$⇒x=\frac{-1}{x+6}$
$⇒x+\frac{1}{x+6}=0$
Adding both sides 6.
$⇒x + 6+\frac{1}{x+6}=6$
Cubing both sides of the equation
Now, $(x+6)^3+\frac{1}{(x+6)^3} = 6^3-3\times 6$
$=198$
Hence, the correct answer is 198.
