Question: A certain sum becomes Rs. 20720 in four years and 24080 in six years at simple interest. Find sum and rate of interest?
(A) Rs. 12000; 12% p.a.
(B) Rs. 22000; 12% p.a.
(C) Rs. 12000; 22% p.a.
(D) Rs. 12000; 14% p.a.
(E) Rs. 12000; 16% p.a.
Rationale: Let the interest for one year be x.
As amount = Principal + Interest, we have
P + 4x = 20720 --- (1) ; P + 6x = 24080 --- (2)
Solving the equations (1) and (2), we can get
P = Rs. 14000 and x = Rs. 1680
Interest for one year on Rs. 14000 is Rs. 1680
So, R = (100 * 1680)/(14000 * 1) = 12% p.a.
ANSWER:A
Answer: (A) Rs. 12000; 12% p.a.

Question: What two-digit number is less than the sum of the square of its digits by 11 and exceeds their doubled product by 4?
(A)  95
(B)  99
(C)  26
(D)  73
(E)  None of the Above
Rationale: Let the digits be x and y. The number would be 10x + y.
We are given that 2xy + 4 = 10x +y = x^2 y^2 -11
Thus 2xy +4 = x^2 + y^2 - 11
x^2 + y^2 -2xy = 16
(x-y)^2 = 16
(x-y) = 4 or -4
Substituting the values of (x-y) in the equation 2xy +5 = 10x + y
x comes out to be 1 or 9... thus the two numbers can be 26 or 98
Thus the answer is C
Answer: (C)  26

Rationale: If interest were not compounded in every six months (so if interest were not earned on interest) then we would have (2+3+4)=9% simple interest earned on $10,000, which is $900. So, you can rule out A, B and C right away.
Interest earned after the first time interval: $10,000*2%=$200;
Interest earned after the second time interval: ($10,000+$200)*3%=$300+$6=$306;
Interest earned after the third time interval: ($10,000+$200+$306)*4%=$400+$8+(~$12)=~$420;
Total: 200+306+(~420)=~$920.24
Answer: D.
Answer: (D) $920.24

Question: If Jake loses 33 pounds, he will weigh twice as much as his sister. Together they now weigh 153 pounds. What is Jake's present weight, in pounds?
(A)  131
(B)  135
(C)  113
(D)  147
(E)  188
Rationale: J = Jake’s current weight, in pounds
S = Sister’s current weight, in pounds
We are told that “If Jake loses 8 pounds, he will weigh twice as much as his sister.We put this into an equation:
J – 33 = 2S
J = 2S + 33 (Equation 1)
Next, we are told that “Together they now weigh 153 pounds.” We can also put this into an equation.
J + S = 153 (Equation 2)
To solve this equation, we can substitute 2S + 8 from Equation 1 for the variable J in Equation 2:
2S + 33 = 153-S
3S = 120
S = 40
J + 40 = 153
J = 113
Answer: C
Answer: (C)  113
Question: If A : B : C = 2 : 3 : 4, then A⁄B : B⁄C : C⁄A is equal to :
(A) 4 : 9 : 16
(B) 8 : 9 : 12
(C) 8 : 9 : 16
(D) 8 : 9 : 24

(A) 1320
(B) 1380
(C) 1395
(D) 1367
(E) None of these
Rationale: Explanation:
Dividend = (Divisor x Quotient) + Remainder
Remainder = 40
Divisor = 5Q = 2R = 2 x 40 = 80
=> Q = (80/5) = 16
Now, Dividend = (80 x 16) + 40 = 1320
