Question : How much time will it take for an amount of Rs. 450 to yield Rs. 47.25 as interest at 3.5% per annum of simple interest?
Option 1: 1 year
Option 2: 2 years
Option 3: 3 years
Option 4: 4 years
Correct Answer: 3 years
Solution : Given: Principal = Rs. 450 Simple interest = Rs. 47.25 Rate = 3.5% We know that, Simple interest = $\frac{\text{Principal × Rate × Time}}{100}$ ⇒ $47.25 = \frac{\text{450 × 3.5 × Time}}{100}$ ⇒ Time = $\frac{47.25\times100}{450\times3.5}$ ⇒ Time = $\frac{4725}{1575}=3$ years Hence, the correct
Question : The radius of a right circular cylinder is thrice of its height. If the height of the cylinder is 3.5 cm, what is the volume of the cylinder?
Option 1: 1124.25 cm3
Option 2: 1324.75 cm3
Option 3: 1468.25 cm3
Option 4: 1212.75 cm3
Correct Answer: 1212.75 cm3
Solution : The height of the cylinder, $h$ = 3.5 cm So, radius, $r$ = 3.5 × 3 = 10.5 cm Now, the volume of the cylinder = $\pi r^2 h=\frac{22}{7}×(10.5)^2×3.5=1212.75\ \text{cm}^3$ Hence, the correct answer is 1212.75 cm3.
Question : Directions: Select the option figure in which the given figure (X) is embedded as its part (Rotation is NOT allowed).
Solution : Since the rotation is restricted. So, the embedded figure will have the same orientation as the main figure. By comparison of all the option figures, the given question figure is embedded only in the third option figure.
Hence, the third option is correct.
Question : Directions: Select the option that is related to the fifth term in the same way as the second term is related to the first term and the fourth term is related to the third term. AR37 : DW44 :: PQ43 : SV50 :: GF31 : ?
