Question : If $B:A = 2:3$ and $A:C = 5:7$, then what is $(A + B):(B + C)$?
Option 1: $25:26$
Option 2: $25:36$
Option 3: $25:31$
Option 4: $27:43$
Correct Answer: $25:31$
Solution : $B:A = 2:3$ -----------(1) $A:C = 5:7$ -----------(2) Multiply equation (1) by 5 and equation (2) by 3, we have: $B:A = 10:15$ $A:C = 15:21$ ⇒ $B:A: C = 10:15:21$ Let $B=10k,A=15k,$ and $C=21k$ So, $(A + B):(B + C) = (15k + 10k):(10k

Question : What is the compound interest on Rs. 8400 for 2 years at 10% per annum compounded annually?
Option 1: Rs. 10164
Option 2: Rs. 840
Option 3: Rs. 5064
Option 4: Rs. 1764
Correct Answer: Rs. 1764
Solution : We have, Principal = Rs. 8400 Rate = 10% per annum Time = 2 years $\text{Compound Interest}=\text{Principal}×(1+\frac{\text{Rate}}{100})^{\text{Time}}-\text{Principal}$ $⇒\text{Compound Interest}=8400×(1+\frac{\text{10}}{100})^{\text{2}}-\text{8400}$ $⇒\text{Compound Interest}=8400×(\frac{\text{11}}{10})^{\text{2}}-\text{8400}$ $⇒\text{Compound Interest}=8400×(\frac{\text{121}}{100})-\text{8400}$ $⇒\text{Compound Interest}=84×121-\text{8400}$ $\therefore\text{Compound Interest}=10164-\text{8400}=1764$ Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 1764.
Question : Directions: The bar graph given below shows the production (in tonnes) of rice in a country for the years 2007 to 2011. Study the graph carefully and answer the questions given below. The production of rice in the year 2010 is how much percent more than the production of rice in the year 2009?
Option 1: 21.5
Option 2: 37.5
Option 3: 42.5
Option 4: 33.33
Correct Answer: 33.33
Solution : The production of rice in the year 2010 = 720 The production of rice in the year 2009 = 540 $\therefore$ The required percentage = $\frac{720-540}{540}×100= 33.33\%$ Hence, the correct answer is 33.33.
Question : The population of a town increases at the rate of 20% per annum. If the town's population will be 69,120 after 2 years, then what is the town's present population?
Option 1: 48,000
Option 2: 42,000
Option 3: 40,000
Option 4: 36,000
Correct Answer: 48,000
Solution : Use the formula: Amount = P[$(1+\frac{r}{100})^n$] where P is principal, $r$ is the rate of interest compounded annually for $n$ years. The population increases at the rate of 20% per annum, ⇒ 69,120 = P[$(1+\frac{20}{100})^2$] ⇒ 69,120 = P$(\frac{6}{5})^2$ ⇒ P = $\frac{69120×25}{36}$
