Question : Rs. 5000 is divided into two parts such that if one part is invested at 4% and the other at 5%, then the whole annual interest from both sums is 223. How much was invested at 4%?
Option 1: Rs. 2600
Option 2: Rs. 2700
Option 3: Rs. 2400
Option 4: Rs. 2300
Correct Answer: Rs. 2700
Solution : Let the part of the money invested at 4% as \(x\) and the part invested at 5% as $(5000 - x)$. The total annual interest from both investments is Rs. 223. $⇒0.04x + 0.05(5000 - x) = 223$ $⇒0.04x + 250 - 0.05x =

Statements: Some mocks are exams. Some exams are banks. No bank is local. Conclusions: I. Some mocks are local. II. No mock is a local.
Option 1: Neither conclusion I nor II follows
Option 2: Only conclusion I follows
Option 3: Only conclusion II follows
Option 4: Either conclusion I or II follows

Question : The two banks of a canal are straight and parallel. A, B, and C are three persons, of whom A stands on one bank and B and C on the opposite banks. B finds the angle ABC is 30°, while C finds that the angle ACB is 60°. If B and C are 100 metres apart, the breadth of the canal is:
Option 1: $\frac{25}{\sqrt{3}}$ metres
Option 2: $20\sqrt{3}$ metres
Option 3: $25\sqrt{3}$ metres
Option 4: $\frac{20}{\sqrt{3}}$ metres
Correct Answer: $25\sqrt{3}$ metres
Solution : BD = $x$ metre (let) ∴ CD = $(100 - x)$ metres AD ⊥ BC; AD = $y$ metres From ∆ ABD, tan 30° = $\frac{AD}{BD}$ $⇒\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{y}{x}$ $\therefore x=\sqrt{3}y$ ----(1) From ∆ACD, $\tan 60° = \frac{AD}{CD}$ $⇒\sqrt{3}=\frac{y}{(100 - x)}$ $\therefore y=(100 - x)\sqrt{3}$ Using
