Q:

If  1 1 1 1 = R
    2 2 2 2 = T
    3 3 3 3 = E
    4 4 4 4 = N

 

Then  5 5 5 5 = ?

A) Y B) Z
C) T D) X
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Y

Explanation:

If you add all the terms of the LHS of equality, then the last letter of the sum written in words would give you the RHS.

1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 4 = FOUR

2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8 = EIGHT

3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12 = TWELVE

4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 16 = SIXTEEN

 

So, following the same pattern.

5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 20 = TWENTY

 

That gives us our answer to 5 5 5 5 =  "Y".

Q:

Simple interest on a certain sum is 16/25 of the sum. Find the rate percent and time, If both are numerically equal.

A) Rate = 7% and Time = 7 years. B) Rate = 8% and Time = 8 years.
C) Rate = 6% and Time = 6 years. D) Rate = 5% and Time = 5 years.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rate = 8% and Time = 8 years.

Explanation:

Let sum = X. Then S.I = 16x/25

 

Let rate = R% and Time = R years.

 

Therefore,  (x * R * R)/100 = 16x/25   =>  R = 40/5 = 8

 

Therefore, Rate = 8% and Time = 8 years.
