Question : The nearest number which is greater than 87501, and is completely divisible by 765 is:
Option 1: 88975
Option 2: 87975
Option 3: 87966
Option 4: 87775
Correct Answer: 87975
Solution : If we divide 87501 by 765, we will get a remainder of 291. So, the number greater than 87501 and divisible by 765 = 87501 – 291 + 765 = 87975 Hence, the correct answer is 87975.
Question : Rajnish borrowed INR 1,500 from a bank and repaid the entire amount with interest in two equal annual instalments, the first instalment being paid a year after Rajnish borrowed from the bank. If the rate of interest was 40% per annum, compounded annually, then what was the value (in INR) of each instalment paid by Rajnish?
Option 1: 1125
Option 2: 1470
Option 3: 1225
Option 4: 1350
Correct Answer: 1225
Solution : Let the two equal instalments be $P_1$ and $P_2$ Given: $P_1 + P_2 = 1500$ and rate of interest $(R)= 40 \%$ Since annual instalments are equal, So, $P_1(1+\frac{R}{100})=P_2(1+\frac{R}{100})(1+\frac{R}{100})$ ⇒ $\frac{P_1}{P_2}=1+\frac{R}{100}=1+\frac{40}{100}=1+\frac{2}{5}=\frac{7}{5}$ ⇒ $P_2 = \frac{5P_1}{7}$ Now, $P_1 + P_2 = 1500$ ⇒ $P_1+\frac{5P_1}{7}= 1500$ ⇒
Question : Directions: Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the given sets. (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g. 13 – operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is NOT allowed.)
