Q:

The breadth of a rectangular field is 75% of its length. If perimeter of the field is 1050 m, what will be th area of field ?

A) 65700 sq.m B) 54500 sq.m
C) 78700 sq.m D) 67500 sq.m
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 67500 sq.m

Explanation:

Let the length be 'l' and breadth be 'b'.

b = l × 3/4__________(a)

2(l+b) = 1050

l+b = 525___________(b)

From equations (a) and (b),

l = 300m, b = 225 m

Area = l × b

= 300 × 225

= 67500 sq.m.

Q:

At a certain rate of interest the compound interest of 3 years and simple interest of 5 years for certain sum of money is respectively Rs. 1513.2 and Rs. 2400. Find the common rate of interest per annum ?

A) 5% B) 6%
C) 4% D) 3%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 5%

Explanation:

Given compound interest for 3 years = Rs. 1513.2

 

and simple interest for 5 years = Rs. 2400

 

Now, we know that  C.I = P1+R100n - 1

 

=> 1513.2 = P1+R1003 - 1 ...........(A)

 

And S.I = PTR/100

 

=> 2400 = P5R/100 ..................(B)

 

By solving (A) & (B), we get

 

R = 5%.

A) increase 12% B) decrease 12%
C) increase 16% D) decrease 16%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) decrease 12%

And its consumption is increased by q = 10%

Now, required increase or decrease in the expenditure on the commodity can be 

p + q + pq/100 = -20 + 10 - 200/100 = -10 - 2 = -12%.

 

Hence, decrease in the expenditure = 12%
