what is the compound interest paid on a sum of rs . 3000 for the period of 3 years at 10 % per annum .
"solution = interest % for 1 st year = 10 interest % for 2 nd year = 10 + 10 % of 10 = 10 + 10 * 10 / 100 = 11 interest % for 3 rd year = 10 + 10 % ( 10 + 11 ) = 10 + 2.1 = 12.1 total % of interest = 10 + 11 + 12.1 = 33.1 total interest = 33.1 % 3000 = 3000 * ( 33.1 / 100 ) = 993 answer d"

let the distance be 2 x ( one way ) time taken by bus = 2 x / 80 , by walking = x / 8 , by cycling = x / 60 hours : . average speed = total distance / total time = 8 x / x / 40 + x / 8 + x / 60 = 8 * 60 / 1.5 + 7.5 + 1 = 12.0 answer : d
