A.    42 m sqaure
B.    49 m sqaure

D.    64 m sqaure



3. Richard deposits $ 5400 and got back an amount of $ 6000 after a year. Find the simple interest he got.

A. 9(3/5) days
B. 9(1/5) days
C. 9(2/5) days
 D. 10 days

Answer
1.b
S.I. on Rs. 1600 = T.D. on Rs. 1680.

Rs. 1600 is the P.W. of Rs. 1680, i.e., Rs. 80 is on Rs. 1600 at 15%.

Time =  100 x 80     year     =     1     year = 4 months.
           1600 x 15                       3
2.B
Area of the wet surface =
2[lb+bh+hl] - lb = 2 [bh+hl] + lb
= 2[(4*1.25+6*1.25)]+6*4 = 49 m square 

3.CPrincipal (P) = $ 5400,
Amount (A) = $ 6000
Simple Interest (SI) = Amount (A) – Principal (P)
= 6000 - 5400
= 600
Therefore, Richard got an interest of $ 600

4c
,Let the price of 1 litre of gasoline be $x and let Ron initially buy 'y' litres of gasoline.

Therefore, he would have spent $xy on gasoline.

When the price of gasoline increases by 25%, the new price per litre of gasoline is 1.25x.

Ron intends to increase the amount he spends on gasoline by 15%.

i.e., he is willing to spend xy + 15% of xy = 1.15xy

Let the new quantity of gasoline that he can get be 'q'.

Then, 1.25x * q =
1.15xy/1.25x  =  1.15/1.25 y = 0.92y.

As the new quantity that he can buy is 0.92y, he gets 0.08y lesser than what he used to get earlier.

Or a reduction of 8%.

5.a
Amount of work P can do in 1 day = 1/16

Amount of work Q can do in 1 day = 1/12

Amount of work P, Q and R can together do in 1 day = 1/4

Amount of work R can do in 1 day = 1/4 - (1/16 + 1/12) = 3/16 – 1/12 = 5/48

=> Hence R can do the job on 48/5 days = 9 (3/5) days
