Q:

A person divided a sum of Rs. 17,200 into three parts and invested at 5%. 6% and 9% per annum simple interest. At the end of two years, he got the same interest on each part of money. What is the money invested at 9%?

 

A) Rs. 3,200 B) Rs. 4,000
C) Rs. 4,800 D) Rs. 5000
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs. 4,000

Explanation:
Let sum invested @ 5% be P1, @ 6% be P2 then @ 9% =17200-(P1+P2)
So according to question
P1*5*2/100 = P2*6*2/100 or P1 = (6/5) P2
Also P2*6*2/100 = [17200-(P1+P2)]*9*2/100
Or 2 P2 = [17200–(11/5)P2] * 3
Or (2 + 33/5)P2 = 17200 * 3
P2 = 17200 * 3 * 5 / 43 = 6000
So P1 = 6/5 P2 = 7200
So Sum invested @ 9% = 17200–(6000+7200) = Rs 4000

Q:

0 divided by 0

A) 0 B) 1
C) Undefined D) Indeterminate
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Indeterminate

Explanation:

Indeterminate are those,which mathematics can’t determine.

Because we don’t actually know which one is the exact answer for this due to having lots of results for this.

Explanation::

      • Let us think by this analogy that,

0 / 1 = 0

0 / 2 = 0

…………

………..

we can say 0 / n = 0 from this we can write, 0/0 = 0

      • Again, another analogy,(from limiting concept of 1/0 = infinity)

1 / 0 = +∞ or -∞

2 /0 = +∞ or -∞

………

.…….

we can say 0 / 0 = ∞

      • Again, another analogy,

1 / 1 = 1

2/2 = 1

.……..

………..

we can say, 0/0 = 1

Now, you see it’s confusing. Every analog is mathematically correct then which one is the right answer for 0/0.  Therefore Mathematics can’t determine this fact.

So, 0/0 is indeterminate.

Q:

A bottle is sold at a loss of 9%. Had it sold for Rs. 15 more, a profit of 25/2% would have gained. What is the cost price of the bottle (approx)?

A) Rs. 32 B) Rs. 35
C) Rs. 36 D) Rs. 33
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs. 35

Explanation:

Let the cost price of the bottle = Rs. 100

Selling price of the bottle = Rs. 100 - Rs. 9 = Rs. 91

Then, from the given data,

=> 112 (1/2) - 91 = 15

=> 21 (1/2) = 15

=> 43 = 15

Then 100 = ?

1500/43 = 34.885 =~ 35

Hence, the cost price of the bottle = Rs. 35
