The difference between the compound interest and the simple interest on a sum of money for 1.5 years at 12% per annum is 150. How do you calculate the amount?
(A) Rs 20834.33(B) Rs 20833.33
(C) Rs 21833.33
•Basics first.
1.We know there is NO difference between simple interest and compound interest for 1st year if CI is compounded annually.
2.CI attracts interest on interest on all subsequent years.
Now to the solution :
The difference of 150 is solely due to interest on interest in the second year. This represents 12% simple interest on interest received for first year for 6 months (or 6% in effect).
Therefore, interest for the first year is :
150/6 x 100 = 2500
Now, 2500 must be 12% of the principal amount at the beginning of first year.
Therefore, principal at the beginning of first year is :
P = 2500/12 x 100 = 20833.33
This method is adopted to crack management entrance examinations where time is at premium and application of traditional formulae consumes more time than you can afford to spend. A second look reveal both steps could be combined together and the answer pops into your mind without much ado …
{(150/6 x 100)/12} x 100 = 20833.33

•The Paleolithic or Palaeolithic is a period in human prehistory distinguished by the original development of stone tools that covers c. 95% of human technological prehistory. It extends from the earliest known use of stone tools by hominins c. 3.3 million years ago, to the end of the Pleistocene c. 11,650 cal BP. The Paleolithic is followed in Europe by the Mesolithic, although the date of the transition varies geographically by several thousand years. During the Paleolithic, hominins grouped together in small societies such as bands, and subsisted by gathering plants and fishing, hunting or scavenging wild animals. The Paleolithic is characterized by the use of knapped stone tools, although at the time humans also used wood and bone tools. Other organic commodities were adapted for use as tools, including leather and vegetable fibers; however, due to their nature, these have not been preserved to any great degree

Vitamin C is also known as :
(A) Citric acid (B) Ascorbic acid (C) Carbonic
•Ascorbic acid is a naturally occurring organic compound with antioxidant properties. It is a white solid, but impure samples can appear yellowish. It dissolves well in water to give mildly acidic solutions. Ascorbic acid is one form of vitamin C. It was originally called L-hexuronic acid, but, when it was found to have vitamin C activity in animals, the suggestion was made to rename it. The new name, ascorbic acid, is derived from a- and scorbutus, the disease caused by a deficiency of vitamin C. Because it is derived from glucose, many animals are able to produce it, but humans require it as part of their nutrition. Other vertebrates which lack the ability to produce ascorbic acid include some primates, guinea pigs, teleost fishes, bats, and some birds, all of which require it as a dietary micronutrien

In a school 10% of the boys are same in number as 1/ 4th of the girls. What is the ratio of boys to girls in the school ?
(A) 3 : 2 (B) 5 : 2 (C) 6 5 : 3 (D) 4 : 1
•b = boys
g = girls
10% = 10/100 = 1/10
b/10 = g/4
b/g = 10/4 = 5/2
The ratio of boys to girls is 5:2

99.The radius of a wheel is 21 cm. How many revolutions will it make in travelling 924 m?
(A) 500 (C) 600 (B)700
•The number of revolutions completed by rotating a wheel in a given distance
= Distance covered/Circumference of Wheel
**Circumference of given Wheel
= 2πr
= 2×3.14×21 (since, r = 21cm)
= 131.88 cm
**Distance covered (cm) = 924×100 = 92400 cm
Substituting the generated values, we get;
Revolutions = 92400/131.88
= 700.63694268
Approx. 701 Revolutions will be completed by the wheel.
100.The remains of Vijaynagar Empire can be found in :
(A) Goiconda (B) Hampi (C) Bijapur
• The Vijayanagara Empire was based in the Deccan Plateau region in South India. It was established in 1336 by Harihara I and his brother Bukka Raya I of Sangama Dynasty. The empire rose to prominence as a culmination of attempts by the southern powers to ward off Islamic invasions by the end of the 13th century. It lasted until 1646, although its power declined after a major military defeat in 1565 by the combined armies of the Deccan sultanates. The empire is named after its capital city of Vijayanagara, whose ruins surround present day Hampi, now a World Heritage Site in Karnataka, India. The writings of medieval European travelers such as Domingo Paes, Fernão Nunes, and Niccolò Da Conti, and the literature in local languages provide crucial information about its history. Archaeological excavations at Vijayanagara have revealed the empire's power and wealth.
