Question : A sum of Rs. 21850 amounts to Rs. 28623.50 in 5 years at the rate of simple interest. The rate percent is:

Option 1: 7.2% p.a.

Option 2: 4.8% p.a.

Option 3: 6.2% p.a.

Option 4: 6.8% p.a.

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 6.2% p.a.


Solution : Given: Principal = Rs. 21850
Simple interest = Amount – Principal = Rs. 28623.50 – 21850 = 6773.5
Time = 5 years
Rate = to find
Simple interest = $\frac{\text{Principal × Rate × Time}}{100}$
⇒ $6773.5=\frac{21850 × \text{Rate} × 5}{100}$
⇒ Rate = $\frac{6773.5\times100}{21850

Question : What is the value of $17 ÷ 34 + 2 × 12 ÷ 6 - 5 × 3 ÷ 6$?

Option 1: 2

Option 2: 3

Option 3: 4.5

Option 4: 3.5

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 2


Solution : $17 ÷ 34 + 2 × 12 ÷ 6 - 5 × 3 ÷ 6$
$=\frac{1}{2} + 2 × 2 - 5 × \frac{1}{2}$
$=\frac{1}{2} + 4 - \frac{5}{2}$

Question : A car has to cover a distance of 288 km in 20 hours. If it covers half of the journey in $\frac{1}{5}$th of the time, find the speed to cover the remaining distance in the time left.

Option 1: 6 km/hr

Option 2: 7 km/hr

Option 3: 9 km/hr

Option 4: 8 km/hr

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 9 km/hr


Solution : A car has to cover a distance of 288 km in 20 hours.
It covers half of the journey in $\frac{1}{5}$th of the time.
So it covers $\frac{288}{2}=144$ km in $20×\frac{1}{5}=4$ hours
Required speed $=\frac{144}{20-4}=\frac{144}{16}=9$ km/hr
Hence, the correct answer is 9 km/hr.
