2. C
150x100/205 = 73.17%
3. D
Required % = 245x3x100/ 280x3
= 350/4 = 87.5

=> 1/6 x 480 = 80
5. D

6. C
Average = 3480
Hence, Required Ratio = 3:5
7. D
Required ratio = 5040/3360 = 1.5.
8. A


9. D
Average = 3480
Reserve for 1996-97 = 4320

10. A
1993-94 = 2520
1997-98 = 5040
Increase = 2520
% Increase = 2520x100/2520 = 100%

Answers:-

1. 2

2. 3
Sum = A2T1- A1T2 / T1 – T2
Sum= 854x3 – 815x4 / 3-4
Sum = 698

3. (3) 8920

4. (4) Rs.1,92,000
1200x(1+r/100)5 = 24000 => (1+r/100)5 = 2
Therefore, [(1+r/100)5]4 = 24 = 16
ð  (1+r/100)20 = 16
ð  P(1+r/100)20 = 16P
ð  P= 12000
Therefore, 12000(1+r/100)20= 12000x16 = 192000

5. (3) 15 years.
P(1+r/100)5= 2P => (1+r/100)5 = 2
Now, P(1+r/100)n = 8P
ð  (1+r/100)n = 8 = 23 = {(1+r/100)5}3
ð  (1+r/100)n = (1+r/100)15
ð  n = 15 Years.

6. (2) 12 years.

7. (2)  4
P(1+20/100)n > 2P
Or  (6/5)n > 2
Now, putting n=3
We find that (6/5)3 <2
Now, putting n = 4, we find the required criteria is satisfied.
Hence, min n=4.

8. (3) Rs. 1352
Present Worth of Rs. X due n years hence is given by :-
Present worth (PW) = x / (1+r/100)n.
Now, Let the value of each instalment be Rs.X Then,
(PW of Rs.X due 1 year hence)+ (PW of Rs.X due 2 years hence) = Rs. 2550.
ó [X / (1+4/100)] + [X / (1+4/100)2] = 2550
ó 25X/26 + 625X / 676 = 2550
ó 1275X = 2550x676
ó X = 2x676 = 1352.


9. (2) Rs. 551.25

10. (4) Rs. 14,320
Balance
= Rs.[{12500x (1+20/100)3} – {2000x(1+20/100)2 + 2000x(1+20/100) +2000}]
= Rs. [(12500x(6/5)3 – (2000x36/25 + 2000x6/5 + 2000)]
= Rs. [ 21600 – (2880+ 2400 + 2000)]
= Rs. 14320.
