Q:

A certain sum is invested for 2 years in scheme M at 20% p.a. compound interest (compounded annually), Same sum is also invested for the same period in scheme N at k% p.a. simple interest. The interest earned from scheme M is twice of that earned from scheme N. What is the value of k?

A) 7 B) 11
C) 9 D) 13
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 11

Explanation:

Interest earned in scheme M =   

P1 + 201002  - 1  = 11P25

Interest earned in scheme N =  

P x k x 2100 = Pk50

 

Now, from the given data,

 

11P25 = 2 x Pk50

k = 11

Q:

In the given number series which follows the definite rules then find out the value of (M, N, O, and P) in second number series.

7  18  42  94  204

4   M   N    O     P

What value will come in place of P?

A) 179 B) 184
C) 164 D) 156
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 156

Explanation:

Here the given series 7  18  42  94  204 follows a pattern that, 

7

×2+4 = 18

18 ×2+6 = 42

42 ×2+10 = 94

94 ×2+16 = 204

Similarly,

4

×2+4 = 12

12 ×2+6 = 30

30 ×2+10 = 70

70 ×2+16 = 156

Hence, the value of P = 156.

Q:

Agra and Delhi are 160 km apart. A train leaves Agra for Delhi and at the same time another train leaves Delhi for Agra. Both the trains meet 5 hrs after they start moving. If the train travelling from Agra to Delhi travels 6 km/hr faster than the other train, find the speed of the faster train? 

A) 19 kmph B) 13 kmph
C) 7 kmph D) 9 kmph
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 19 kmph

Explanation:

Let the speed of the slower train = p kmph

ATQ,

Speed of the faster train = (p + 6) kmph

Then,

(p + p + 6) x 5 = 160

10p + 30 = 160

10p = 130

p = 13 kmph

Then, speed of the faster train = p + 6 = 13 + 6 = 19 kmph.

A) 76 B) 60
C) 56 D) 52
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 60

Then, number of male engineers = 4800 - 1800 = 3000

Now, required is female engineers is what percentage of the number of male engineers

=> 1800 is what % of 3000

=> p x 3000/100 = 1800

=> 30p = 1800

p = 60%

 

Hence, female engineers is 60 percentage of the number of male engineers.
