Q:

What is the place value of 6 in 64?

A) 6 B) 60
C) 64 D) 10
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 60

Explanation:

We know that,

● Each digit has a fixed position called its place.

● Each digit has a value depending on its place called the place value of the digit.

● The face value of a digit for any place in the given number is the value of the digit itself

● Place value of a digit = (face value of the digit) × (value of the place).

 

Hence, the place value of 6 in 64 = 6 x 10 = 60.

Q:

Find the sum of the Arithmetic Series upto 36 terms

2, 5, 8, 11,...

A) 3924 B) 1962
C) 1684 D) 1452
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 1962

Explanation:

Arithmetic Series ::

 

An Arithmetic Series is a series of numbers in which each term increases by a constant amount.

 

How to find the sum of the Arithmetic Sequence or Series for the given Series ::

 

When the series contains a large amount of numbers, its impractical to add manually. You can quickly find the sum of any arithmetic sequence by multiplying the average of the first and last term by the number of terms in the sequence.

 

That is given by Sn = n(a1 + an)2 Where n = number of terms, a1 = first term, an = last term

 

Here Last term is given by an = a1 + n-1d where d = common difference

 

Now given Arithmetic Series is 

 

2, 5, 8, 11,...

 

Here a1 = 2,  d = 3, n = 36 

 

Now, an= a1 + n - 1d a36= 2 + 36 - 13 = 105 + 2 = 107 

 

Now, Sum to 36 terms is given by

 

S36 = 36(2 + 107)2 = 36 x 1092 = 39242 = 1962

 

 

 

Therefore, Sum to 36 terms of the series 2, 5, 8, 11,... is 1962.

Q:

Find the compound interest on Rs. 10,000 in 2 years at 4% per annum, the interest being compounded half-yearly.

A) 524.32 B) 624.32
C) 724.32 D) 824.32
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 824.32

Explanation:

Principal = Rs. 10000; Rate = 2% per half-year; Time = 2 years = 4 half-years.
Amount == Rs. 10824.32.

 

 Rs.10000*1+21004=Rs.10000*5150*5150*5150*5150

 

 C.I. = Rs. (10824.32 - 10000) = Rs. 824.32.
