Question : John invested a sum of money at an annual simple interest rate of 10%. At the end of four years, the amount invested plus interest earned is Rs. 770. The amount invested was:
Option 1: Rs. 650
Option 2: Rs. 350
Option 3: Rs. 550
Option 4: Rs. 500
Correct Answer: Rs. 550
Solution : If the principal is p, then simple interest = $(770 - p)$ Principal = $\frac{\text{SI×100}}{\text{Rate×Time}}$ ⇒ $p = \frac{\text{(770-p)×100}}{\text{10×4}}$ ⇒ $2p = (770 – p) × 5$ ⇒ $2p + 5p$ = 770 × 5 ⇒ $7p$ = 770 × 5 $\therefore p$ =
Question : The least number which should be added to 1351 so that the sum is exactly divisible by 2, 4, 6 and 8 is:
Option 1: 11
Option 2: 15
Option 3: 13
Option 4: 17
Correct Answer: 17
Solution : The given numbers are 2, 4, 6 and 8. The least number which is exactly divisible by a, b and c is the L.C.M of a, b and c. Now, LCM of 2, 4, 6 and 8 is 24 By dividing 24 from 1351 we
Question : Directions: The bar graph shows the percentage distribution of the total expenditures of a company under various expenses heads during 2005. Study the bar graph and answer the following four question

Question : The greatest fraction among $\frac{2}{3}, \frac{5}{6}, \frac{11}{15} \text{ and } \frac{7}{8} \text{ is:}$
Option 1: $\frac{7}{8}$
Option 2: $\frac{11}{15}$
Option 3: $\frac{5}{6}$
Option 4: $\frac{2}{3}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{7}{8}$
Solution : Given numbers are = $\frac{2}{3},\frac{5}{6},\frac{11}{15},\frac{7}{8}$ LCM of denominators (3, 6, 15, 8) = ${3×2×5×4} = 120$ Making all denominators the same for comparison, $⇒ \frac{2}{3}\times \frac{40}{40} = \frac{80}{120} $ $⇒ \frac{5}{6}\times \frac{20}{20} = \frac{100}{120} $ $⇒ \frac{11}{15}\times \frac{8}{8} = \frac{88}{120} $ $⇒ \frac{7}{8}\times \frac{15}{15} =\frac{105}{120}
