Question 1 of 5

A certain sum of money deposited at the bank amounts to Rs 756 in 3years and to Rs 873 in 5½ years. Find the principle sum.

Correct

Your Answer : Correct Answer : C

Answer Justification : Amount in 2 years = Rs. 756 Amount is 3 ½ years = Rs. 873 Interest for 1 ½ years = Rs. 873− Rs. 756 = Rs.117

∴ Interest for 2 years = (2 * 117 ) / 3/2 = Rs. 156 Principal =Amount−Interest = 756− 156= Rs. 600

Incorrect

Your Answer : Correct Answer : C

Answer Justification : Amount in 2 years = Rs. 756 Amount is 3 ½ years = Rs. 873 Interest for 1 ½ years = Rs. 873− Rs. 756 = Rs.117

∴ Interest for 2 years = (2 * 117 ) / 3/2 = Rs. 156 Principal =Amount−Interest = 756− 156= Rs. 600
Question 2 of 5

If a shopkeeper sells an item A at 10% profit and item B at 20% profit, then the total profit made is Rs.80. If he sells item A at 20% profit & item B at 10% profit, then the total profit made is Rs.70. What is the cost price of the items A & B respectively?

Correct

Your Answer : Correct Answer : D

Answer Justification : Let the CP of item A is ‘x’ and CP of item B is ‘y’.

From given data , (10/100)x + (20/100)y = 80 —-(1) (20/100)x + (10/100)y = 70 —-(2) By solving above 2 equations we get values of items A & B cost prices, i.e., x = 200 & y= 300
