Q:

K is 50% faster than L. If L starts at 9 A.M. and K starts at 10 A.M. L travels at a speed of 50 km/hr. If L and K are 300 kms apart, The time when they meet when they travel in opposite direction is ?

A) 12 pm	B) 1 pm
C) 11 am	D) 11:30 am

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 12 pm

Explanation:

let 't' be the time after which they met since L starts.

Given K is 50% faster than L

50 t + 1.5*50(t-1) = 300

50 t +75 t = 300 + 75

t = 375 / 125 = 3 hrs past the time that L starts

So they meet at (9 + 3)hrs = 12:00 noon.

Q:

The compound interest earned by Sunil on a certain amount at the end of two years at the rate of 8% p.a. was Rs.2828.80. Find the total amount that Sunil got back at the end of two years in the form of principal plus interest earned ?

A) Rs. 11828.80	B) Rs. 19828.80
C) Rs. 9828.80	D) Rs. 19328.80

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs. 19828.80

Explanation:

Let the sum be Rs. P
P{ ${(1 + \frac{8}{100})}^{2}$ - 1 } = 2828.80

It is in the form of $a^{2} - b^{2} = (a + b) (a - b)$

P(8/100)(2 + 8/100) = 2828.80

P = 2828.80 / (0.08)(2.08)

= 1360/0.08 = 17000

Principal + Interest = Rs. 19828.80
