Q:

A train 125 m long passes a man, running at 5 km/hr in the same direction in which the train is going, in 10 seconds. The speed of the train is ?

A) 45 kmph	B) 25 kmph
C) 30 kmph	D) 50 kmph

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 50 kmph

Explanation:

Speed of the train relative to man = (125/10) m/sec = (25/2) m/sec.
[(25/2) x (18/5)] km/hr = 45 km/hr.
Let the speed of the train be 'S' km/hr.
Then, relative speed = (S - 5) km/hr.
S - 5 = 45 => S = 50 km/hr.

Q:

The difference between compound interest and simple interest on a sum for two years at 8% per annum, where the interest is compounded annually is Rs.16. if the interest were compounded half yearly , the difference in two interests would be nearly

A) Rs.24.64	B) Rs.21.85
C) Rs.16	D) Rs.16.80

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs.24.64

Explanation:

For 1st year S.I =C.I.

Thus, Rs.16 is the S.I. on S.I. for 1 year, which at 8% is thus Rs.200

i.e S.I on the principal for 1 year is Rs.200

Principle = $R s . \frac{100 * 200}{8 * 1}$ = Rs.2500

Amount for 2 years, compounded half-yearly

$R s . [2500 * {(1 + \frac{4}{100})}^{4}] = R s . 2924.4$

C.I = Rs.424.64

Also, $S . I = R s . (\frac{2500 * 8 * 2}{100}) = R s . 400$

Hence, [(C.I) - (S.I)] = Rs. (424.64 - 400) = Rs.24.64

Q:

There is 60% increase in an amount in 6 years at simple interest. What will be the compound interest of Rs. 12,000 after 3 years at the same rate

A) Rs.4972	B) Rs.3972
C) Rs.5972	D) Rs.2972

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs.3972

Explanation:

Let P = Rs. 100. Then, S.I. Rs. 60 and T = 6 years.

R= $\frac{100 * 60}{100 * 6}$ =10% p.a

Now, P = Rs. 12000. T = 3 years and R = 10% p.a.

C.I= $R s . [12000 * {[1 + \frac{10}{100}]}^{3} - 1]$
=Rs.3972

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".
