Q:

At what temperature do the Fahrenheit and celcius scales give the same reading?

A) 212 degrees	B) 32 degreees
C) -40 degreees	D) 0 degreees

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) -40 degreees

Explanation:

We want the temperature when F=C.

We know that, $F = C x \frac{9}{5} + 32$

So substituting C For F, we have C = $- 40^{o}$

Therefore, C = -40.

Thus when C = -40, we have C = F

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 =

$P [{(1 + \frac{20}{100})}^{2} - 1] = \frac{11 P}{25}$

Interest earned in scheme N =

$\frac{P x k x 2}{100} = \frac{P k}{50}$

Now, from the given data,

$\frac{11 P}{25} = 2 x \frac{P k}{50}$

k = 11
