Question : If $\sqrt{1+\frac{x}{529}}=\frac{24}{23}$, then the value of $x$ is:
Option 1: 15
Option 2: 27
Option 3: 47
Option 4: 30
Correct Answer: 47
Solution : $\sqrt{1+\frac{x}{529}}=\frac{24}{23}$ Squaring both sides, $⇒1+\frac{x}{529}=\left(\frac{24}{23}\right)^2$ $⇒1+\frac{x}{529}=\frac{576}{529}$ $⇒\frac{x}{529}=\frac{576}{529}-1=\frac{47}{529}$ $\therefore x=47$ Hence, the correct answer is 47.
Question : An amount was lent for two years at 20% per annum, compounded annually. Had the compounding been done half-yearly, the interest would have increased by Rs. 241. What was the amount (in Rs.) lent?
