After using the calculator for some time, Mayank finds that the calculator is defective so he returns the calculator to Manish but he only gets Rs. 5.5 for every Rs.10 he spent on the calculator.

D. Rs.446.875

CP of the calculator for Lakshmi = Rs.1000
SP of the calculator for Lakshmi = CP of the calculator for Manish = 1000×0.65 = Rs.650
SP of the calculator for Manish = CP of the calculator for Mayank = 650 × 1.25 = Rs.812.5
Mayank gets Rs.5.5 on every 10 rupees he spent.
So, for Rs.812.5 he will get 812.5 × 5.5 ÷ 10 = Rs.446.875

 

4.Mihir borrows Rs.6700 from Sanya for a period of 3 years at simple interest of 9% per annum. If Sanya would have given this money at a compound interest of 10% per annum for the same time period, then the difference in the interests in the two cases would be?

B  Rs. 2671.2
C  Rs. 671.9
D  Rs. 408.7
E  Rs. 4783

D. Rs. 408.7

Simple interest for 3 years at 9% per annum = 6700×0.09×3 = Rs.1809
Compound interest for 3 years at 10% per annum = 6700(1 + 0.1)
3 – 6700 = Rs.2217.7
Required difference = 2217.7 – 1809 = Rs.408.7

A  126
B  324
C  272
D  418
E  500

Show Correct Answers

B. 324

 

Number of words that can be formed from VEHICLE such that the vowels are together = 5! × 3!/2! = 360
There are 6 letters in the word SEACOD, out of which there are 3 vowels and 3 consonants.
Let us mark these positions as given below:
(1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6)
Now, 3 vowels can be placed at any of the three odd places, marked 1, 3, 5
Number of ways of arranging the vowels = 3! = 6
Also, the 3 consonants can be arranged at the remaining 3 positions.
Number of arrangements = 3! = 6
Total number of ways = 6 x 6 = 36
Required difference = 360 – 36 = 324
