Question : The compound interest on a certain sum invested for 2 years at 10% per annum is INR 1,522.50, the interest being compounded yearly. The sum is:
Option 1: INR 7,250
Option 2: INR 7,200
Option 3: INR 7,500
Option 4: INR 7,000
Correct Answer: INR 7,250
Solution : Time, $n$ = 2 years Rate, $R$ = 10% Let $P$ be the sum. Compound interest, CI = INR 1,522.50 CI = $P(1+\frac{R}{100})^n - P$ ⇒ 1522.50 = $P(1+\frac{10}{100})^2 - P$ ⇒ 1522.50 = $P(1.1)^2 - P$ ⇒ 1522.50 = $1.21P- P$ ⇒ 1522.50

Question : A can do a certain piece of work in 2.4 times the number of days in which B and C together can do it. If A and B together can do the same piece of work in 27 days and C alone can do it in 75 days, then how many days will B take to do this piece of work alone?
Option 1: 54
Option 2: 48
Option 3: 45
Option 4: 42
Correct Answer: 45
Solution : (A + B)'s 1 day's work = $\frac{1}{27}$ C's 1 day's work = $\frac{1}{75}$ (A + B + C)'s 1 day's work = $\frac{1}{27}+\frac{1}{75} = \frac{34}{675}$ ---(1) A's 1 day's work = $\frac{1}{2.4}$(B + C)'s 1 day's work ---(2) $\frac{3.4}{2.4}$(B + C)'s 1 day's work
