Q511.
Excluding stoppages, the speed of a bus is 54 kmph and including stoppages, it is 45 kmph. For how many minutes does the bus stop per hour ?
1) 8 2) 9
3) 10 4) 12
5)None of these
Answer : 10
Explanation :
Speed of the bus excluding stoppages = 54 kmph

speed of the bus including stoppages = 45 kmph

Loss in speed when including stoppages = 54 - 45 = 9kmph

=> In 1 hour, bus covers 9 km less due to stoppages

Hence, time that the bus stop per hour = time taken to cover 9 km

=distance/speed=9/54 hour =1/6 hour = 60/6 min =10 min

3) 6.5% 4) 5.5%
5)None of these
Answer : 5%

Q515.
The difference between compound interest and simple interest on an amount of Rs. 15,000 for 2 years is Rs. 96. What is the rate of interest per annum ?

1) 6% 2) 8%
3) 9% 4) 12%
5)None of these
Answer : 8%
Explanation : We know that, P = (Diffrent x 100 x 100) /R2
So, R =√(96 x100 x100 )15000 = 8%

Q516.
There is 80% increase in an amount in 8 years at simple interest. What will be the compound interest of Rs. 14,000 after 3 years at the same rate ?
1) Rs.3794 2) Rs.3714
3) Rs.4612 4) Rs.4634
5)None of these
Answer : Rs.4634
Explanation :
Let P = Rs.100 

Simple Interest = Rs. 80 ( ∵ 80% increase is due to the simple interest)

Rate of interest = (100×SI)/PT=(100×80)/100×8 =10% per annum

Now let's find out the compound interest of Rs. 14,000 after 3 years at 10%

P = Rs.14000  T = 3 years   and R = 10% 

Amount after 3 years = P(1+R/100)T = 14000 (1+10/100)3= Rs.18634 
So, C.I = Rs.18634 - Rs.14000 = Rs.4634
