A sum is invested at compounded interest payable annually. The interest in the first two successive years was Rs. 400 and Rs. 420. The sum is
[ "Rs. 9000", "Rs. 8500", "Rs.7500", "Rs. 8000" ]
D
Explanation: his means that, simple Interest on Rs.400 for 1 year = 420 - 400 = 20 Rate = (100 ×SI)/PT = (100 × 20)/(400×1) = 5% Rs.400 is the interest on the sum for 1st year Hence, sum = (100 × SI)/RT = (100 × 400)/(5 × 1) = Rs. 8000 ANSWER IS A

The length of a train and that of a platform are equal. If with a speed of 72 k/hr, the train crosses the platform in one minute, then the length of the train (in meters) is?
[ "750", "712", "719", "600" ]
D
Speed = [72 * 5/18] m/sec = 20 m/sec; Time = 1 min. = 60 sec. Let the length of the train and that of the platform be x meters. Then, 2x/60 = 20 è x = 20 * 60 / 2 = 600 Answer: A

Murali travelled from city A to city B at a speed of 40 kmph and from city B to city C at 60 kmph. What is the average speed of Murali from A to C given that the ratio of distances between A to B and B to C is 1 : 3?
[ "48 kmph", "66.66 kmph", "56.66 kmph", "76.66 kmph" ]
B
Let the distances between city A to B and B to C be 2x km and 3x km respectively. Total time taken to cover from A to C = (x)/40 + (3x)/60 = (3x + 6x)/120 = 9x/120 = 3x/40 Average speed = (2x + 3x)/(3x/40) = 200/3 kmph. =66.66 kmph ANSWER:D
