Q:

Read each sentence to find out whether there is any error in any part

That Brutus, who was his trusted friend(a) had attacked on him(b) caused heartbreak to Julius Caesar(c). No error.(d)

A) a B) b
C) c D) d
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) b

Explanation:

‘Attacked on him’ is the incorrect form of phrasal verb that needs to be replaced with ‘Attacked him’ to make the sentence correct. This is because; ‘Attack’ is not followed by any preposition. Thus, the correct sentence would be, ‘That Brutus, who was his trusted friend had attacked him caused heartbreak to Julius Caesar’.

Q:

A sum was put at simple interest at a certain rate for 3 years. Had it been put at 2% higher rate, it would have fetched Rs 360 more. Find the sum.

A) Rs.4000 B) Rs.9000
C) Rs.5000 D) Rs.6000
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Rs.6000

Explanation:

Let sum = P and original rate = R. Then

[(P * (R+2) * 3)/100] - [ (P * R * 3)/100] = 360

3P*(R+2) - 3PR = 36000

3PR + 6P - 3PR = 36000

6P = 36000

P = 6000
