WEEKLY TEST – 10 SOLUTION

S. NO. ANSWER SOLUTION

Given that,
A sum of ₹12,000 is lent at simple interest at the rate of 8% per annum
Now,
Q1. (a) Simple Interest (SI) = (P x R x T)/100 = (12000 x 8 x 3)/100 = 2880
Total Amount = Principal + SI = ₹12,000 + ₹2,880 = ₹14,880
Hence option (a) is correct

Given that,
The simple interest on a sum for 4 years at 5% per annum is ₹1,200
Now,
Simple Interest (SI) = (P x R x T)/100
Q2. (c) 1200 = (P x 5 x 4)/100
0.2P = 1200
P = Rs.6000
Hence option (c) is correct

Given that,
A sum of money doubles itself in 10 years at simple interest.
Now,
If a sum doubles, interest earned = principal P
Given SI = P and T = 10 years
Q3. (b) SI = P x R x T/100 = P
(R x 10)/100 = 1
R = 10%
Hence option (b) is correct

Given that,
A sum of ₹10,000 is deposited in a bank at 8% per annum compounded annually.
Now,
Q4. (a) Amount A = P (1 + R/100)N
A = 10000 x (1 + 0.08)2 = Rs.11664
Hence option (a) is correct

Given that,
A principal of ₹15,000 amounts to ₹16,854 in 2 years at compound interest,
compounded annually.
Now,
Amount A = P (1 + R/100)N
Q5. (a) 16854 = 15000 x (1 + R/100)2
By solving the equation
R/100 = 0.06
R = 6%
Hence option (a) is correct

Given that,
A principal amount of ₹5,000 grows to ₹6,500 in 5 years at simple interest.
Now,
Q6. (b) Simple Interest (SI) = Amount - Principal = ₹6,500 - ₹5,000 = ₹1,500
SI = P x R x T/100
1500 = (5000 x R x 5)/100
R = 6%
Hence option (b) is correct
Given that,
A sum of ₹4,800 yield a simple interest of ₹1,440 at an annual rate of 6%

Given that,
In a stamp collection, there is one rare stamp for every four common stamps.
12 more rare stamps are added to the collection
The ratio of rare stamps to common stamps becomes 2:5
Now,
Let the number of rare stamps = R
Let the number of common stamps = C
From the initial ratio:
R/C = 1/4
C = 4R ……. (i)
Q15. (c) After adding 12 rare stamps, new rare = R + 12, common = C
Now, the new ratio is:
(R + 12)/C = 2/5 ……. (ii)
Substituting (i) in (ii)
(R + 12)/4R = 2/5
Solving the equation:
R = 20
So, C = 80
New Rare stamps = 12 + 20 = 32
Total stamps = 80 + 32 = 112
Hence option (c) is correct

Given that,

Q16. (d) Let expenses be 3y and 2y
Savings equations:
5x−3y=3000………. (1)
4x−2y=3000 …….. (2)
Multiply (2) by 3:
12x − 6y = 9000
Multiply (1) by 2:
10x − 6y = 6000
Subtract:
(12x−6y) − (10x−6y) = 9000−6000
2x = 3000
Substitute x in (1):
5 × 1500 − 3y = 3000 ⟹ 7500 − 3y = 3000
y = 1500
Incomes:
5 x 1500 = 7500
4 x 1500 = 6000
Hence option (d) is correct

Given that,
A car travels the first part of a journey at 60 km/h and the second part at 40 km/h.
Q20. (b) The total journey is 150 km and the total time taken is 3 hours
Now,
Let the distance covered in the first part be x km.
Then, distance covered in the second part = 150 − x km.
Time taken for the first part = x/60
Time taken for the second part = (150 – x)/40
Total time = 3 hours
(x/60) + (150 – x)/40 = 3
Solving the equation
x = 90 km
First part distance = 90 km
Second part distance = 150 – 90 = 60 km
Ratio = 90/60 = 3: 2
Hence option (b) is correct

Given that,
Suppose the average weight of 7 persons is 60 kg.
The average weight of the first 4 persons is 55 kg
The average weight of the last 4 persons is 65 kg
Now,
Average weight of 7 persons = 60 kg
Average weight of first 4 persons = 55 kg
Average weight of last 4 persons = 65 kg
Total weight of 7 persons = 60 × 7 = 420 kg
Q22. (a) Total weight of first 4 persons = 55 × 4 = 220 kg
Total weight of last 4 persons = 65 × 4 = 260 kg
Total weight of 7 persons = Total weight of first 4 persons + Total weight of last 4
persons - Weight of 4th person
Putting the values:
420 = 220 + 260 - Weight of 4th person
420 = 480 - Weight of 4th person
Weight of 4th person = 480 - 420 = 60 kg
So, the weight of the 4th person is 60 kg.
Hence option (a) is correct

Given that,
The average rainfall in a city for the first five days was recorded to be 0.55 inch.
The rainfall on the last two days was in the ratio of 3:2.
The average rainfall over the six days was 0.60 inch.
Now,
Q23. (c) Total rainfall for 5 days = 0.55 × 5 = 2.75 inches
Total rainfall for 6 days = 0.60 × 6 = 3.6 inches
Total rainfall for last 2 days = Total rainfall for 6 days - Total rainfall for 5 days = 3.6 -
2.75 = 0.85 inches
The rainfall on the sixth day is given to be in a ratio of 3:2 with the fifth day. Let the
rainfall on the fifth day be X inches and on the sixth day be Y inches.
The ratio condition gives:
2
Y=3X
(2/3) x X = 0.85
X = (0.85 x 3)/2 = 1.275
Thus, the rainfall on the fifth day was:
1.275 inches.
Hence option (c) is correct

Given that,
Total applications = 150
Number of females = 90
Number having driver's license = 100
Now,
Maximum number of females with driver's license:
Maximum occurs when all females have a driver's license, but it cannot be more than
the smaller of the two groups:
Q25. (d) Maximum females with driver's license = min (90, 100) = 90
Minimum number of females with driver's license:
The minimum occurs when the maximum number of licenses are held by males.
Number of males = 150 - 90 = 60
Maximum males with driver's license = 60 (all males have license)
Minimum females with driver's license = Total with license - males with license
(maximum) = 100 - 60 = 40
Ratio of minimum to maximum females with driver's license:
Ratio = 40/90 = 4/9
