Question : A certain sum doubles in 7 years at Simple Interest. The same sum under the same interest will become 4 times in how many years?

Option 1: 14 years

Option 2: 28 years

Option 3: 21 years

Option 4: 10 years

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 21 years


Solution : Let the sum be $P$.
Total amount for 7 years = $2P$
Simple Interest for 7 years = $2P – P$ = $P$
If total amount = $4P$,
Simple Interest = $4P-P$ = $3P$
Since in 7 years interest is $P$ then $3P$ interest

Question : Two circles of diameters 10 cm and 6 cm have the same centre. A chord of the larger circle is a tangent of the smaller one. The length of the chord is:

Option 1: 4 cm

Option 2: 8 cm

Option 3: 6 cm

Option 4: 10 cm

So, OE $\perp$ CD
Using Pythagoras theorem in $\triangle$ EOC,
CE2 = OC2 – OE2
