Question: Siddharth wants to borrow Rs.10000 at rate of interest 6% p.a. at S.I and lend the same amount at C.I at same rate of interest for two years. What would be his income in the above transaction?
A.s.21.60
B.s.36.00
C.s.22.29
D.s.21.26
Answer: B.s.36.00
Explanation: Amount of money Siddharth borrowed at S.I at 6% p.a. for two years = Rs.10,000
He lend the same amount for C.I at 6% p.a. for two years.
=> Siddharth's income = C.I - S.I
= p[1 + r/ 100]n - p - pnr/100
= p{ [1 + r/ 100]2 - 1 - nr/100
= 10,000{ [1 + 6/100]2 - 1 - 12/100}
= 10,000 {(1.06)2- 1 - 0.12} = 10,000(1.1236 - 1 - 0.12)
= 10,000 (0.0036) = 10 * 3.6 = Rs.36.00

If all of the trees thrived and there were 12500 trees in the orchard at the end of 4 year period, how many trees were in the orchard at the beginning of the 4 year period.
A.5113
B.5117
C.5120
D.8119
Answer: C.5120
Explanation: Trees increase by 1/4 the number of trees in preceding year. Hence, correct answer must be divisible by 4. Based on divisibility rules, if last 2 digits are divisible by 4 then the number is divisible by 4. Thus, we can eliminate A, B, D,E The answer to be C
Again, trees increase by 1/4 the number of trees in preceding year. Hence, the number of trees increase by 5/4 times the number of trees the preceding year.
If x = initial number of trees = 5120
Year 1 = 5/4x
Year 2 = (5/4)(5/4)x
Year 3 = (5/4)(5/4)(5/4)x
Year 4 = (5/4)(5/4)(5/4)(5/4)x
Only for Answer D: (5/4)(5/4)(5/4)(5/4) 5120 = 12500
Hence, correct answer = C

B.Rs. 102220
C.Rs. 104202
D.Rs. 104222
Answer: A.Rs. 102102
Explanation: Explanation:
Rs.20000 after 4 years = 20000(1+10/100)4 = 20000(11/10)4 = Rs. 29282
Rs.20000 after 3 years = 20000(1+10/100)3 = 20000(11/10)3 = Rs. 26620
Rs.20000 after 2 years = 20000(1+10/100)2 = 20000(11/10)2 = Rs. 24200
Rs.20000 after 1 year = 20000(1+10/100)1 = 20000(11/10) = Rs. 22000
Total amount after 4 years = 29282 + 26620 + 24200 + 22000 = Rs. 102102

Question: Tap 'A' can fill the tank completely in 6 hrs while tap 'B' can empty it by 12 hrs. By mistake, the person forgot to close the tap 'B', As a result, both the taps, remained open. After 2 hrs, the person realized the mistake and immediately closed the tap 'B'. In how much time now onwards, would the tank be full?
A.2 hours
B.4 hours
C.5 hours
D.1 hour
Answer: C.5 hours
Explanation: Explanation :
Tap A can fill the tank completely in 6 hours
=> In 1 hour, Tap A can fill 1⁄6 of the tank
Tap B can empty the tank completely in 12 hours
=> In 1 hour, Tap B can empty 1⁄12 of the tank
i.e., In one hour, Tank A and B together can effectively fill 1⁄6 - 1⁄12 = 1⁄12 of the tank
=> In 2 hours, Tank A and B can effectively fill 1⁄12 × 2= 1⁄6 of the tank.
Time taken to fill the remaining 1−(1/6) = 5/6 of the tank = (5/6)/(1/6) = 5 hours. Answer : Option C

Question: A 180 metres long train running at the speed of 120 kmph crosses another train running in opposite direction at the speed of 80 kmph in 9 seconds. What is the length of the other train?
A.320 meter
B.225 meter
C.230 meter
D.235 meter
Answer: A.320 meter
Explanation: Explanation:
As trains are running in opposite directions so their relative speed will get added
So, Relative speed = 120 +80 = 200 kmph
= 200*(5/18) = 500/9 m/sec
Let the length of other train is x meter then
x+180 /9=500 /9
=>x+180=500
=>x=320
So the length of the train is 320 meters

Question: A retailer bought a machine at a wholesale price of $90 and later on sold it after a 10% discount of the retail price. If the retailer made a profit equivalent to 20% of the whole price, what is the retail price e of the machine?
A.	81
B.	100
C.	120
D.	135
Answer: C.	120
Explanation: Since the wholesale price was $90 and the profit was 20% of the wholesale price ([.2][90] = $18), the retail price would have to be above $108, but not that much greater than that.
Let's start by TESTing Answer C: $120....
If.....
Retail Price e= $120
10% discount off = $120 - (.1)(120) = 120 - 12 = 108
20% profit on wholesale price = 90 + (.2)(90) = 90 + 18 = 108
These two numbers MATCH, so this MUST be the answer!

D.3/5
Answer: B.1/2
Explanation: SO we are looking for the area of the cloth over the area of the table
Area of the Cloth = (pi)(r)^2 which is about (22/7)(14)(14)
Area of the Table = (36)(36)
So the quick way to estimate is looking at the fraction like this:616/1296=308/648=154/324=77/162 nearest to 1/2

Question: Can you find out what day of the week was January 12, 1979?
A.Friday.
B.saturday
C.sunday
D.monday
Answer: A.Friday.
Explanation: 1979 = 1900yrs + 78yrs + (period from 1st Jan to 12th Jan 1979)
1900 yrs have 1 odd day(calculated as 1600yrs have 0 odd days, n 300yrs have 15 odd days i.e.15/7= 2 weeks+1 odd day.so,for 300yrs, it's 1 odd day.totally it's 0+1=1odd day for 1900yrs).
78yrs = 19leap yrs +59 ordinary yrs
= 19 *2 +59 *1
= 97days = 13weeks +6 odd days = 6 odd days
period from 1st Jan to 12th Jan 1979 =12 days = 1week + 5odd days = 5 odd days
Therefore,
12th Jan 1979 = 1+6+5 = 12days =1 week +5 odd days =5 odd days
Therefore, 12th Jan 1979 was a Friday.
(Since,Sunday->0,Monday->1,...,Fri->5,sat->6)

Question: If f(x) = x^4 – x^2 + ax^6 – 3, then f(b) – f(-b) will equal:
A.0
B.2ab
C.2ab^4
D.8b^6 + 6
Answer: A.0
Explanation: f(x)=x^4 – x^2 + ax^6 – 3
f(b) = b^4 – b^2 + ab^6 – 3
f(-b) = b^4 – b^2 + ab^6 – 3
f(b) - f(-b) = b^4 – b^2 + ab^6 – 3 - b^4 + b^2 - ab^6 + 3
=0
