Answers:
(1 – 5)
1. 2;
Interest earned under default plan III = Rs. 3762
Interest rate of plan I = 11%
Interest earned under plan III at 11% p.a. compounded
annually
= 20000 (1 + 11/100)^2 – 20000 = Rs. 4642
Difference in interest earned = 4642 – 3762 = Rs. 880 more
2. 1
Original term is 12 and when it is tripled it becomes 36
months
Interest on Rs. 45,000 @ 12.50% p.a (compounded annually) for 36 months is
= 45000 (1 + 12.5/100)^3 – 45000 = 19072.27
3. 3
Maturity amount of plan II = 35000 + 6562.5
= Rs. 41562.5
Rs. 41562.5 deposited for 2 years in plan I gives
= [ 1 + (2 * 11)/100 ] * 41562.5 = Rs. 50706.25
4. 4
Interest earned under plan III (Compounded annually)
= Rs. 3762
Interest earned under plan III (If the interest is not
compounded) = (20000 * 2 * 9)/100 = Rs. 3600
Required ratio = 3762 : 3600 = 209 : 200
5. 4
Investment of Rs. 45000 in plan will earn in 24 months
= 45000 ( 1 + 12.5/100)^2 – 45000 = Rs. 11953.125
6. 3
Total weight of J, K and L = 75 × 3 = 225 kg
Total weight of J, K, L and M = 78 × 4 = 312 kg
Weight of M = 312 – 225 = 87 kg
Weight of N = 87 – 5 = 82 kg
Total weight of K, L, M & N = 77 × 4 = 308 kg
Total weight of K, L & M = 308 – 82 = 226 kg
Weight of J = weight of (J, K, L and M) – weight of (K,
L and M)
= 312 – 226 = 86 kg
7. 1
Required number of ways = 6C4 × 5C2 = 6*5/2 * 5*4/2 = 150
8. 4
1st person, 2ndperson, 5th person, 10th person, 25th
person & 50th person will put balls in the 50th bucket.
So number of balls in the 50th bucket
= 1 + 2 + 5 + 10+ 25 + 50 = 93
9. 1
Ten years ago, total age of four members = 28 × 4 = 112 years
Total age of four members at present = (28 + 10) ×4 = 152 years
And present age of four members + two children = 28 × 6 = 168 years
So age of the two children = 168 – 152 =16
So age of 1st child = 9 years
And age of 2nd child= 7 years
10. 1; Let total number of candidates be = 100
Number of candidates who took both German and English = (76.5 + 48.7) – 100 = 25.2
i.e. 100 units —> 3250
25.2 units —> 3250/100 * 25.2 = 819
