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+81002- 1 } = 2828.80

 

It is in the form of  a2-b2 = a+ba-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

Q:

An alloy of copper and bronze weight 50g. It contains 80% Copper. How much copper should be added to the alloy so that percentage of copper is increased to 90%?

A) 45 gm B) 50 gm
C) 55 gm D) 60 gm
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 50 gm

Explanation:

Initial quantity of copper =80100 x 50 = 40 g 

And that of Bronze = 50 - 40 = 10 g

Let 'p' gm of copper is added to the mixture

=> 50 + p x 90100 = 40 + p

=> 45 + 0.9p = 40 + p

=> p = 50 g

Hence, 50 gms of copper is added to the mixture, so that the copper is increased to 90%.

Q:

A Product is supported each week by the same three Product supporters. Last month the first supporter took 440 calls, the second took 360 calls, and the third took 300 calls. This month the job will consists of 1500 calls. If the three supporters each increase their work proportionately, how many more calls will the second supporter take this month than last month ?

A) 131 calls B) 160 calls
C) 491 calls D) 600 calls
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 131 calls

Explanation:

1st supporter recieve 440 calls
2nd supporter recieve 360 calls
3rd supporter recieve 300 calls

So total calls = 1100 calls ;
Calls this month= 1500
So remaining calls to be distributed is 400

So Now Ratio 1st:2nd:3rd ==> 440:360:300
=> 22:18:15

Now No. of More Calls 2nd supporter will get => [18/(22+18+15)] x 400
=> (18/55) x 400
=> 131 Calls
So 131 more Calls than last month.

Q:

For xN, x>1,  and  p=logxx+1q=logx+1x+2 then which one of the following is correct?

A) p < q B) p = q
C) p > q D) can't be determined
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) p > q

Explanation:

kl>k+1l+1 for (k,l) > 0 and  k > l 

 

 

 

Let     k = x+1    and   l = x

 

 

 

Therefore, x+1x>(x+1)+1(x)+1

 

 

 

 (x + 1) > x

 

 

 

Therefore, log(x+1)log(x)>log(x+2)log(x+1)

 

 

 

logxx+1 >logx+1x+2

Q:

A, B and C started a company where their initial investments was in the ratio of 2:3:4. At the end of 6 months, A invested an amount such that his total capital became equal to B's initial capital investment. If the annual profit of B is Rs. 3000 then what is the total profit of the company ?

A) Rs. 9500 B) Rs. 10600
C) Rs. 7500 D) Rs. 8900
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 9500

Explanation:

Given initial investments ratio = 2 : 3 : 4

At the end of 6 months, A invested an amount such that his total capital became equal to B's initial capital investment

i.e, upto 6 months A's investment is 2 and after 6 months his invstment is 3 = B's investment

Now, Ratio of investment for one year

=> A : B : C = (2×6 + 3×6) : (3×12) : (4×12)

= 30 : 36 : 48

= 5 : 6 : 8

But given B's profit = 3000

=> 6 ratio = 3000

For total => 19 ratio = Rs. 9500.
