A certain sum of money lent at simple interest amounts to Rs. 1,300 in 4 years and Rs. 1,525 in 7 years. Find the sum.

Detailed Solution for Test Level 3: Simple & Compound Interest (September 1) - Question 3

Let principal = P
Amount after 4 years = Rs. 1300
Amount after 7 years = Rs. 1525
Simple interest for 3 years = 1525 - 1300 = Rs. 225
Simple interest for 1 year = 225/3 = Rs. 75
Simple interest for 4 years = 4 × 75 = Rs. 300
Principal = Amount - SI
P = 1300 - 300 = Rs. 1000

Vivek purchased a bike costing Rs. 51,250 under finance with a down payment (which has to be paid at the beginning) of Rs. 9,575. Next month onwards, he has to pay Rs. 1,300 every month up to 36 months to clear the remaining payment. What is the rate of interest under simple interest?
Detailed Solution for Test Level 3: Simple & Compound Interest (September 1) - Question 5

Cost of bike = Rs. 51,250
Down payment = Rs. 9,575
Monthly installment = Rs. 1300 for 36 Months
Amount paid for total installments = 36 × 1300 = Rs. 46,800
Total Amount paid = Rs. 46,800 + Rs. 9,575 = Rs. 56, 375
So, S. I. = Rs. 56,375 - Rs. 51,250 = Rs. 5125
Now, 
R = 10%

Raghav has to repay a loan of Rs. 12,820 in three annual instalments. The first instalment is to be half of the second and one-third of the third. If the compound interest is calculated annually at a rate of 10%, then find the value of the third instalment that Raghav has to pay.
Detailed Solution for Test Level 3: Simple & Compound Interest (September 1) - Question 6

Given, initial amount = Rs. 12,820
Amount to be paid after one year = Rs. 12,820 + Rs. 1282 = Rs.14,102.
If Raghav`s first year instalment is `Rs. a`, then the principal for second year = Rs. (14,102 - a).
Amount to be paid after two years = Rs. 11/10 x (14,102 - a) = Rs. (15,512.2 - 1.1a)
If Raghav's second year instalment is 'Rs. 2a', then principal for third year = Rs. ( 15,512.2 - 1.1a - 2a) = Rs. (15,512.2 - 3.1a)
∴ Amount to be paid after three years = Rs. 11/10 x  (15,512.2 - 3.1a) = Rs. (17,063.42 - 3.41a)
Also, amount to be paid in third year = Rs. 3a
⇒ 17,063.42 - 3.41a = 3a
6.41a = 17063.42
a = 2662
Thus, third instalment = Rs. 3a = Rs. 7986

A sum of Rs. 9400 is divided into three parts, such that the simple interests accrued on these sums for three, four and five years are equal. Find the amount deposited for five years.
Detailed Solution for Test Level 3: Simple & Compound Interest (September 1) - Question 8

Let the amount deposited for 4 years be 15d.
Let the rate of deposited per annum be i.
Let the amount deposited for 3 years be a.
Let the amount deposited for 5 years be c.
So, a x 3 x i = 15 x d x 4 x i
Or, a = 20d ... (i)
Also,
c x 5i = 15d x 4 x i
Or, c = 12d ... (ii)
Now, a + 15d + c = Rs. 9400 ... (iii)
20d + 15d + 12d = 9400
d = 200
Plugging in values of a, and c from equations (i) and (ii) into equation (iii), and solving for d, we get d = Rs. 200
Thus, amount deposited for 5 years = 12d = 12 x Rs. 200 = Rs. 2400

Detailed Solution for Test Level 3: Simple & Compound Interest (September 1) - Question 11

1/A + 1/B = 1/8 ... (i)
1/B + 1/C = 1/12 ... (ii)
1/C = 1/24 ... (iii)
On solving, we get A = 12, B = 24 and C = 24
Therefore, 1/A + 1/B + 1/C = 1/6
All three together can complete the work in 6 days.

The amount of work done by a man on nth day after starting a piece of work is n times the amount of work that can be done on the first day. If 8 men start the work, it can be completed in 10 days. How many men should work if the work has to be completed in 4 days?  
Detailed Solution for Test Level 3: Simple & Compound Interest (September 1) - Question 16

Let each of the 8 men do x units of work on the first day.
Total work done = 8(x + 2x + 3x + 4x + 5x + 6x + 7x + 8x + 9x + 10x) = 440x
To do the same 440x units work in 4 days, let n men be required.
So, n(x + 2x + 3x + 4x) = 440x
⇒ n = 44

A man started a piece of work on the first day. The second day, one more person joined him. The next day, one more person joined. Everyday, one new person joined until the work got completed. If the work was completed in 15 days, how many days would 10 men take to complete the same work, given that they worked regularly and efficiency of all men is the same?  
Detailed Solution for Test Level 3: Simple & Compound Interest (September 1) - Question 17

Let one day work of a man = x units
∵1st day = x
2nd day = 2x
……………..
……………
15th day = 15x
Total work done in 15 days = x + 2x + 3x + ... + 15x = 120x 
So, time taken to complete 120x work by 10 men is  120x/10x = 12 days

Three companies L, M and N participated for campus recruitment in college Z. All the three companies selected an equal number of candidates. There were 60 candidates who were selected by L and M both. The number of candidates selected by both M and N was 68 less than twice the number of candidates selected by both L and M. There were 28 candidates who got placed in all the 3 companies. This number was 50% less than the number of candidates selected by both L and N. The total number of candidates selected by both L and N was 91.88% less than total number of candidates selected by all the three company.

Q. How many candidates were selected by company L?
Detailed Solution for Test Level 3: Simple & Compound Interest (September 1) - Question 21

The Venn diagram for the given problem is as given in figure 1.
Firstly, there are 28 candidates placed in all the 3 companies.
So, 28 goes into the common region.
Then, 60 candidates were selected by both L and M.
So, 60 - 28 = 32 goes into the region common only to L and M.
Now, number of candidates selected by both M and N was 68 less than twice the number of candidates selected by both L and M.
Thus, number of candidates selected by both M and N = 2 × 60 - 68 = 120 - 68 = 52
Thus, 52 - 28 = 24 goes into the region common to both M and N.
Now, number of candidates selected by both L and N = 2 × 28 = 56
Thus, 56 - 28 = 28 goes into the region common to both L and N.
Now, let the total number of candidates selected = T
Number of candidates selected by both L and N = 56
So, 56 = T(1 - 0.9188) or T = 690
As equal number of candidates were selected by the 3 companies, the number of candidates in each company = 690/3 = 230
Thus, 230 - (32 + 28 + 28) = 230 - 88 = 142 goes into the region exclusive to L.
230 - (28 + 28 + 24) = 230 - 80 = 150 goes into the region exclusive to N.
230 - (32 + 28 + 24) = 230 - 84 = 146 goes into the region exclusive to M.
So, number of candidates selected by company L = 230
Hence, answer option (2) is correct.

The total number of candidates selected by both L and N was 91.88% less than total number of candidates selected by all the three company.

Q. Find the total number of candidates who were selected only by company L or M.
Detailed Solution for Test Level 3: Simple & Compound Interest (September 1) - Question 22

The Venn diagram for the given problem is as given in figure 1.
Firstly, there are 28 candidates placed in all the 3 companies.
So, 28 goes into the common region.
Then, 60 candidates were selected by both L and M.
So, 60 - 28 = 32 goes into the region common only to L and M.
Now, number of candidates selected by both M and N was 68 less than twice the number of candidates selected by both L and M.
Thus, number of candidates selected by both M and N = 2 × 60 - 68 = 120 - 68 = 52
Thus, 52 - 28 = 24 goes into the region common to both M and N.
Now, number of candidates selected by both L and N = 2 × 28 = 56
Thus, 56 - 28 = 28 goes into the region common to both L and N.
Now, let the total number of candidates selected = T
Number of candidates selected by both L and N = 56
So, 56 = T(1 - 0.9188) or T = 690
As equal number of candidates were selected by the 3 companies, the number of candidates in each company = 690/3 = 230
Thus, 230 - (32 + 28 + 28) = 230 - 88 = 142 goes into the region exclusive to L.
230 - (28 + 28 + 24) = 230 - 80 = 150 goes into the region exclusive to N.
230 - (32 + 28 + 24) = 230 - 84 = 146 goes into the region exclusive to M.
From the Venn diagram, it is clear that number of candidates selected by only L or M = Number of candidates selected by L or M and not by N = 142 + 32 + 146 = 320
Hence, answer option (3) is correct.

Thus, 52 - 28 = 24 goes into the region common to both M and N.
Now, number of candidates selected by both L and N = 2 × 28 = 56
Thus, 56 - 28 = 28 goes into the region common to both L and N.
Now, let the total number of candidates selected = T
Number of candidates selected by both L and N = 56
So, 56 = T(1 - 0.9188) or T = 690
As equal number of candidates were selected by the 3 companies, the number of candidates in each company = 690/3 = 230

The table mentioned below presents the percentage score of the contestants by each of the judges.

Q. If the total marks given by Geeta and Pritam to Riya are one mark less than marks granted to Rahul by Geeta and Himesh, then what is the overall percentage of marks obtained by Riya?
Detailed Solution for Test Level 3: Simple & Compound Interest (September 1) - Question 25

From the table we can find out that the percentage of marks obtained by Riya from Geeta and Pritam is missing.
So, assume the marks obtained by Riya from these two judges to be x + y.
Marks obtained by Rahul from Geeta and Himesh = 92% of 150 + 94% of 50 = 138 + 47 = 185
As per the statement, x + y + 1 = 185, so x + y = 184 
Total marks obtained by Riya = 82% of 100 + x + 88% 50 + 80% of 125 + 70% of 150 + 86% of 50 + y
= 82 + x + 44 + 100 + 105 + 43 + y
= 374 + x + y
= 374 + 184
= 558
Therefore, overall percentage of marks obtained by Riya = (558 x 100)/700 = 79.71%

The ratio of the number of boys to that of girls is 5 : 3. 12% boys study in the Electronics branch. 24% girls study in the Mechanical branch. The ratio of the number of boys to that of girls in the Electronics branch is 6 : 11. One-ninth of girls study in the Computer Science branch. 42% boys study in the IT branch. The number of girls studying in the IT branch is 10% of the boys studying in the same branch. The remaining girls study in the Electrical branch. The total number of students studying in the Computer Science branch is 285. 22% boys study in the Electrical branch. The remaining boys study in the Mechanical branch.

Q. What percentage of the total girls in the college do the girls in the IT branch constitute?
Detailed Solution for Test Level 3: Simple & Compound Interest (September 1) - Question 26

Total number of students = 2400
Ratio of the number of boys to that of girls = 5 : 3
Number of boys = (5/8) × 2400 = 1500
Number of girls = (3/8) × 2400 = 900
42% boys studying in the IT branch = 42% of 1500 = 630
The number of girls in studying IT is 10% of the boys studying in the same branch = 10% of 630 = 63
Suppose x% of the total girls in the college are studying in the IT branch.
63 = x% of 900
x = 7

The total number of students studying in the Computer Science branch is 285. 22% boys study in the Electrical branch. The remaining boys study in the Mechanical branch.

Q. The number of boys studying in the Mechanical branch is approximately what percentage of the total number of boys in the college?
Detailed Solution for Test Level 3: Simple & Compound Interest (September 1) - Question 27

Total number of students = 2400
Ratio of the number of boys to that of girls = 5 : 3
Number of boys = (5/8) × 2400 = 1500
Number of girls = (3/8) × 2400 = 900
12% boys studying in Electronics = 12% of 1500 = 180
24% girls studying in Mechanical = 24% of 900 = 216
Ratio of the number of boys to that of girls in Electronics = 6 : 11
Number of girls studying in Electronics = 11 × 30 = 330 [Number of boys studying in Electronics = 180]
One-ninth of girls studying in Computer Science = (1/9) × (900) = 100
42% boys studying in IT = 42% of 1500 = 630
The number of girls studying in IT is 10% of the boys studying in the same branch = 10% of 630 = 63
The remaining girls are studying in Electrical = 900 - (216 + 330 + 100 + 63) = 191
Total number of students studying in Computer Science = 285
Number of boys studying in Computer science branch = 285 - 100 = 185
22% boys studying in Electrical = 22% of (1500) = 330
Number of boys studying in Mechanical = 1500 - (180 + 630 + 185 + 330) = 175
Suppose the number of boys studying in Mechanical is y percentage of the total number of boys in the college.
175 = y% of 1500
y = 11.66 or 11.67%
