Option 1: The fact of failure or escape is not affected by the narrowness of the margin.

That were remarks made (in the heat of the moment).

Option 1: At time when you cannot think carefully

Option 2: To exert all efforts

Question : The product of two co-prime numbers is 483. Find the Least Common Multiple of both numbers.

Option 1: 483

Option 2: 21

Option 3: 1

Option 4: 23

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Question : Simple interest received by a person in 15 years on a principal of Rs. 6000 is 150 percent of the principal. What is the annual rate of interest?

Option 1: 20 percent

Option 2: 30 percent

Option 3: 10 percent

Option 4: 25 percent

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 10 percent


Solution : Given,
Principal = Rs. 6000
Time = 15 years
Let the rate be $R$.
Simple interest = 150% of Principal $=\frac{150}{100}\times6000=9000$
We know, Simple interest = $\frac{\text{Principal × Rate × Time}}{100}$
⇒ $9000 = \frac{6000\times R\times15}{100}$
⇒ $R=\frac{9000\times100}{6000\times15}$
$\therefore R=10\%$
Hence, the correct answer is 10 percent.
