Q:

The difference between the compound interest and the simple interest accrued on an amount of Rs. 18,000 in 2 years was Rs. 405. What was the rate of interest p.c.p.a. ?

A) 12%	B) 13%
C) 14%	D) 15%

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 15%

Explanation:

Let the rate be R% p.a. Then,

$[1800 {(1 + \frac{R}{100})}^{2} - 1800] - (\frac{1800 * R * 2}{100}) = 405$

$1800 [\frac{{(100 + R)}^{2}}{10000} - 1 - \frac{2 R}{100}] = 405$

$1800 [\frac{{(100 + R)}^{2} - 10000 - 200 R}{10000}] = 405$

$\Leftrightarrow$

$\frac{9}{5} * R^{2} = 405 \Leftrightarrow R^{2} = (\frac{405 * 5}{9}) = 225 \Leftrightarrow R = 15$
Rate = 15%.

Q:

If the length of a certain rectangle is decreased by 4 cm and the width is increased by 3 cm, a square with the same area as the original rectangle would result. Find the perimeter of the original rectangle.

A) 20	B) 30
C) 40	D) 50

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 50

Explanation:

Let x and y be the length and breadth of the rectangle respectively.
Then, x - 4 = y + 3 or x - y = 7 ----(i)
Area of the rectangle =xy; Area of the square = (x - 4) (y + 3)
(x - 4) (y + 3) =xy <=> 3x - 4y = 12 ----(ii)
Solving (i) and (ii), we get x = 16 and y = 9.
Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 (x + y) = [2 (16 + 9)] cm = 50 cm.
