Ishani Rane answered |
This is an example of an exponential growth problem. Exponential growth can be modeled by the equation P = a(r)t, where a is the initial amount, t is the time that has passed, P is the amount after time t, and r is the rate of growth.
For your problem, t = 5 years and P = 600. The money increases by 1/10 = 10% each year, so each year, the amount of money is 110% of the previous year. That's a rate of growth of r = 1.1. So:
600 = a(1.1)5
600 = 1.61051a
372.55 = a
The sum was initially Rs. 372.55.

Anaya Patel answered |
The correct option is D as Let the part lent at 4% be x then , rest will be (5800-x) .
(x*4*1)/100 + { (5800-x)*6*1 } / 100 = 292
4x/100 + { 34800 - 6x }/100 = 292
4x + 34800 - 6x = 29200
2x = 5600
x = 2800 so , d is correct option.
(x*4*1)/100 + { (5800-x)*6*1 } / 100 = 292
4x/100 + { 34800 - 6x }/100 = 292
4x + 34800 - 6x = 29200
2x = 5600
x = 2800 so , d is correct option.

Using the simple interest formula I = PRT, we set the interests equal: 540 * 0.05 * T = 1800 * 0.06 * 5. 27T = 540. T = 20 years. Since 20 isn't an option, the answer is D.

Krishan Kumar answered |
1. Calculate Simple Interest (SI): SI formula: SI = P × R × T / 100. Given SI for two years is Rs.40. Thus, 40 = P × R × 2 / 100 => P × R = 2000 ...(1) 2. Calculate Compound Interest (CI): CI formula: A = P(1 + R / 100)2. CI for two years is Rs.40.50, so A = P + 40.50. Thus, CI = A - P = 40.50. Therefore, P[(1 + R / 100)2 - 1] = 40.50 ...(2) 3. Substitute R from equation (1) into equation (2): From (1), R = 2000 / P. Substitute into CI formula: P(1 + 20 / P)2 - P = 40.50. Simplify: P(1 + 40 / P + 400 / P2) - P = 40.50. This leads to 40 + 400 / P = 40.50. Therefore, 400 / P = 0.50 => P = 400 / 0.50 = 800. 4. Conclusion: The principal sum is Rs.800.

Aarav Sharma answered |
Given, the sum of money trebles itself in 25 years.
Let the principal amount be P.
Formula:
Simple Interest = (P * R * T) / 100
where P is the principal amount, R is the rate of interest, and T is the time period.
Calculation:
After 25 years, the sum becomes 3P.
Using the formula of Simple Interest,
3P = P + (P * R * 25) / 100
2P = (P * R * 25) / 100
R = (2P * 100) / (P * 25)
R = 8%
Therefore, the rate of Simple Interest is 8%. Hence, option C is the correct answer.

R = (2P * 100) / (P * 25)
R = 8%
Therefore, the rate of Simple Interest is 8%. Hence, option C is the correct answer.

Ishaan Roy answered |
Incorrect Sentence:
C) They have been waiting for the bus when it finally arrived.
Explanation:
The past perfect continuous tense is used to describe an action that started in the past, continued up until another point in the past, and may still have some relevance in the present. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb "had been" followed by the present participle of the main verb (-ing form).
In the given sentence, "They have been waiting for the bus when it finally arrived," the use of the present perfect continuous tense is incorrect. Here's why:
1. Present Perfect Continuous Tense:
The present perfect continuous tense is used to describe an action that started in the past, continued up until the present moment, and may still be ongoing. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb "have been" followed by the present participle of the main verb (-ing form).
Example: They have been waiting for the bus for an hour. (Correct use of present perfect continuous tense)
2. Past Perfect Continuous Tense:
The past perfect continuous tense is used to describe an action that started in the past, continued up until another point in the past, and may still have some relevance in the present. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb "had been" followed by the present participle of the main verb (-ing form).
Example: They had been waiting for the bus for an hour before it finally arrived. (Correct use of past perfect continuous tense)
3. Incorrect Use:
In sentence C, the present perfect continuous tense "have been waiting" is used instead of the past perfect continuous tense "had been waiting." This creates a grammatical inconsistency because the action of waiting for the bus should be completed before the bus finally arrived.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: They had been waiting for the bus when it finally arrived.
C) They have been waiting for the bus when it finally arrived.

Understanding the Correct Verb Form
In the sentence "By the time the teacher arrived, the students _____ quietly for her for more than thirty minutes," the correct verb form to use is "had been waiting."
Reasons for Choosing "had been waiting"
- Past Perfect Continuous Tense:
- The phrase "had been waiting" indicates an action that started in the past and continued up until another point in the past (the teacher's arrival).
- It emphasizes the duration of the waiting period (more than thirty minutes).
- Contextual Clarity:
- The use of "had been" clearly shows that the students' waiting was completed before the teacher arrived.
- This tense provides a timeline that is essential for understanding the sequence of events.
Other Options Explained
- b) has been waiting:
- This form is present perfect continuous, used for actions that started in the past and continue to the present. It does not fit the context because the teacher has already arrived.
- c) were waiting:
- This is past continuous tense, which describes an action occurring at a specific moment in the past. It lacks the aspect of duration emphasized in the sentence.
- d) have been waiting:
- This is present perfect continuous, similarly inappropriate as it implies that the waiting continues into the present.
Conclusion
Using "had been waiting" is essential to convey the correct timeline and duration of the students’ activity before the teacher's arrival, aligning perfectly with the context provided.

Understanding Paradoxes and Critical Thinking
Understanding paradoxes is essential for enhancing critical thinking skills, as it encourages individuals to explore complex ideas and reconcile seemingly contradictory viewpoints.
Promoting Resolution
- Paradoxes often present conflicting ideas that challenge our usual ways of thinking.
- By grappling with these contradictions, individuals are pushed to think more deeply and creatively.
- This process can lead to innovative solutions that satisfy both sides of the paradox, fostering a more nuanced understanding of the issue at hand.
Encouraging Open-Mindedness
- Engaging with paradoxes encourages open-mindedness, allowing individuals to consider perspectives they might typically dismiss.
- This shift in thinking promotes flexibility, as one learns to navigate gray areas rather than adhering strictly to black-and-white reasoning.
Enhancing Problem-Solving Skills
- When faced with a paradox, critical thinkers are prompted to analyze the problem from multiple angles.
- This multifaceted analysis often uncovers underlying assumptions and biases, leading to more comprehensive and effective solutions.
Real-World Applications
- In real-life situations, paradoxes can be found in ethical dilemmas, policy decisions, and interpersonal relationships.
- Understanding how to resolve these contradictions can lead to better decision-making and conflict resolution.
In summary, engaging with paradoxes enriches critical thinking by promoting resolution, encouraging open-mindedness, enhancing problem-solving skills, and applying these lessons to real-world challenges.

Given:
- Sum amounts to Rs. 1400 in 2 years
- Sum amounts to Rs. 1600 in 3 years
To find:
- Rate of simple interest
- Principal sum
Let's assume the principal sum as P and the rate of interest as R.
Formula:
Simple Interest (SI) = (P * R * T) / 100
Where:
- P is the principal sum
- R is the rate of interest
- T is the time period in years
Solution:
We have two equations based on the given information:
1) P + (P * R * 2) / 100 = 1400 (Equation 1)
2) P + (P * R * 3) / 100 = 1600 (Equation 2)
Simplifying Equation 1:
100P + 2PR = 140000
100P = 140000 - 2PR
P = (140000 - 2PR) / 100
P = 1400 - 2PR (Equation 3)
Simplifying Equation 2:
100P + 3PR = 160000
100P = 160000 - 3PR
P = (160000 - 3PR) / 100
P = 1600 - 3PR (Equation 4)
Subtracting Equation 4 from Equation 3:
P - P = (1400 - 2PR) - (1600 - 3PR)
0 = 1400 - 1600 + 2PR - 3PR
0 = -200 - PR
PR = -200 (Equation 5)
Since the rate of interest cannot be negative, we can ignore the negative sign in Equation 5.
Now substitute the value of PR in Equation 3:
P = 1400 - 2(-200)
P = 1400 + 400
P = 1800
Therefore, the principal sum is Rs. 1800.
Substituting the values of P and R in Equation 1 to find the rate of interest:
1800 + (1800 * R * 2) / 100 = 1400
1800 + 36R = 1400
36R = 1400 - 1800
36R = -400
R = -400 / 36
R = -11.11
Again, we ignore the negative sign as the rate of interest cannot be negative.
Therefore, the rate of simple interest is 11.11%.
Hence, the correct answer is option B) 20% and Rs. 1000.
- Sum amounts to Rs. 1400 in 2 years
- Sum amounts to Rs. 1600 in 3 years
To find:
- Rate of simple interest
- Principal sum
Let's assume the principal sum as P and the rate of interest as R.
Formula:
Simple Interest (SI) = (P * R * T) / 100
Where:
- P is the principal sum
- R is the rate of interest
- T is the time period in years
Solution:
We have two equations based on the given information:
1) P + (P * R * 2) / 100 = 1400 (Equation 1)
2) P + (P * R * 3) / 100 = 1600 (Equation 2)
Simplifying Equation 1:
100P + 2PR = 140000
100P = 140000 - 2PR
P = (140000 - 2PR) / 100
P = 1400 - 2PR (Equation 3)
Simplifying Equation 2:
100P + 3PR = 160000
100P = 160000 - 3PR
P = (160000 - 3PR) / 100
P = 1600 - 3PR (Equation 4)
Subtracting Equation 4 from Equation 3:
P - P = (1400 - 2PR) - (1600 - 3PR)
0 = 1400 - 1600 + 2PR - 3PR
0 = -200 - PR
PR = -200 (Equation 5)
Since the rate of interest cannot be negative, we can ignore the negative sign in Equation 5.
Now substitute the value of PR in Equation 3:
P = 1400 - 2(-200)
P = 1400 + 400
P = 1800
Therefore, the principal sum is Rs. 1800.
Substituting the values of P and R in Equation 1 to find the rate of interest:
1800 + (1800 * R * 2) / 100 = 1400
1800 + 36R = 1400
36R = 1400 - 1800
36R = -400
R = -400 / 36
R = -11.11
Again, we ignore the negative sign as the rate of interest cannot be negative.
Therefore, the rate of simple interest is 11.11%.
Hence, the correct answer is option B) 20% and Rs. 1000.

Anu Mehta answered |
5%
S.I. = 1680, R = 4% T = 5 years
Principal = (100 *1680)/ (5*4) = 8400
So P = 8400
Rate = (100 *1680)/ (8400 * 4) = 5%
S.I. = 1680, R = 4% T = 5 years
Principal = (100 *1680)/ (5*4) = 8400
So P = 8400
Rate = (100 *1680)/ (8400 * 4) = 5%

Importance of Logical Connectives in Arguments
Logical connectives are essential tools in the structure of arguments, providing clarity and coherence to the relationships between different statements. Here's a detailed explanation of their role:
Linking Ideas
- Logical connectives such as "and," "or," "not," "if...then," and "if and only if" serve to link propositions together.
- They help in forming complex statements from simpler ones, allowing for a more nuanced expression of ideas.
Establishing Relationships
- By using logical connectives, arguments can clarify how premises relate to one another.
- For instance, "If it rains, then the ground will be wet" uses a conditional connective to establish a direct relationship between the occurrence of rain and the state of the ground.
Enhancing Argument Structure
- Logical connectives provide a framework that helps in organizing thoughts logically.
- This organization aids in understanding the flow of reasoning, making it easier to follow and evaluate the argument.
Facilitating Inferences
- They allow for the derivation of conclusions from given premises, enabling the audience to see how specific statements lead to broader implications.
- This process of inference is crucial in persuasive arguments, as it strengthens the overall reasoning.
In summary, logical connectives play a pivotal role in arguments by linking ideas and establishing clear relationships between statements. This functionality enhances the overall coherence and effectiveness of the argument, making it easier for the audience to engage with and understand the reasoning presented.
Logical connectives are essential tools in the structure of arguments, providing clarity and coherence to the relationships between different statements. Here's a detailed explanation of their role:
Linking Ideas
- Logical connectives such as "and," "or," "not," "if...then," and "if and only if" serve to link propositions together.
- They help in forming complex statements from simpler ones, allowing for a more nuanced expression of ideas.
Establishing Relationships
- By using logical connectives, arguments can clarify how premises relate to one another.
- For instance, "If it rains, then the ground will be wet" uses a conditional connective to establish a direct relationship between the occurrence of rain and the state of the ground.
Enhancing Argument Structure
- Logical connectives provide a framework that helps in organizing thoughts logically.
- This organization aids in understanding the flow of reasoning, making it easier to follow and evaluate the argument.
Facilitating Inferences
- They allow for the derivation of conclusions from given premises, enabling the audience to see how specific statements lead to broader implications.
- This process of inference is crucial in persuasive arguments, as it strengthens the overall reasoning.
In summary, logical connectives play a pivotal role in arguments by linking ideas and establishing clear relationships between statements. This functionality enhances the overall coherence and effectiveness of the argument, making it easier for the audience to engage with and understand the reasoning presented.

Option B: "Had, been listening" is the correct answer, forming the question "Had they been listening to the radio all evening before the power cut?" This structure correctly uses the past perfect continuous tense to inquire about an ongoing past action (listening to the radio) that was happening before another past event (the power cut).
