Question 13. A bacterial population doubles every hour. If there are 1000 bacteria now, when were 125 bacteria present?
  1.    1 hour ago
  2.    2 hours ago
  3.    3 hours ago
  4.    5 hours ago
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 3 hours ago
:
C
If there are 1000 bacteria now, 1 hour agothere would have been 500 since the number of bacteria doubles every hour. 2 hours ago there would have been half of 500 bacteria, that is 250 bacteria. 3 hours ago there would have been 125 bacteria.
Question 14. The cost of a car depreciates at the rate of 20% every year. If its present worth  is ₹ 315600, find the purchase value of the car, if it was purchased two years back.
  1.    ₹ 4,93,125
  2.    ₹ 2,01,984
  3.    ₹ 4,10884
  4.    ₹ 2,22,884
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> ₹ 4,93,125
:
A
Given that A =₹ 3,15,600 , r = 20 % ; n = 2 years.
Let P be the value of the car two years ago.
A=P(120100)2
315600=P(115)2
315600=P(4×45×5)
P=315600×5×54×4
P=4,93,125
Purchase value of the car=4,93,125
Question 15. A shopkeeper sold two bats which have a cost price of ₹6000 each. He makes a profit of 10% on one bat but a loss of 5% on the other bat. Find the overall profit or loss in the entire transaction.
  1.    Loss of ₹300
  2.    Profit of ₹300
  3.    Profit of ₹600
  4.    Loss of ₹600
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Profit of ₹300
:
B
Profit on one of the bats = 10% of ₹ 6000
= 10100×6000= ₹600
Hence, the Selling price
= Cost price + Profit
= ₹ (6000 + 600) = ₹ 6600
Loss on the other bat
= 5% of ₹ 6000
= 5100×6000
= ₹ 300
Selling price = Cost price - Loss
= ₹ (6000 - 300)
= ₹ 5700
Total cost price (CP) = ₹ 12000
Total selling price (SP) =6600+5700 = ₹ 12,300
Hence, as SP > CP, he has made a profit of ₹ (12,30012,000)=₹ 300.
Question 16. In a bag, there is a total of 30 fruits. Out of which, 20 are oranges and 10 are apples.The fraction of apples in the bag is 13.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    44,20,000
  4.    44,60,000
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
Fraction of apples =Number of applesTotal number of fruits in the bag
So, fraction of apples =1030=13
Question 17. The accommodation in an apartment costs ₹ 42 lakh. After 6 months, there was a 10% price hike, the new cost is:
  1.    42,20,000
  2.    46,20,000
  3.    44,20,000
  4.    44,60,000
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 46,20,000
:
B
The price hike is 10%. So, 10% of 42,00,000 would give you the price hike.
Hence, 10100×42,00,000=4,20,000
So, adding this amount to the previous price i.e. 42 lakhs would give you the new price.
So, 42,00,000 + 4,20,000 =
46,20,000
Question 18. A family went to a restaurant for dinner. The bill of ₹3000 was handed which was not inclusive of the 4% Goods and Service Tax (GST). The final bill amount would be?
  1.    ₹ 3120
  2.    ₹ 3300
  3.    ₹ 3395
  4.    ₹ 3595
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> ₹ 3120
:
A
GST is calculated on the selling price. Since the bill amount is the selling price, the GSTis added to the bill amount itself.
So, GST = 4% of₹ 3000
= 4100×3000
= ₹120
Final bill amount = 3000 + 120 =3120
Question 19. Shalini deposited 4,00,000 in a bank where she was promised an interest of 10%. She deposited it for a period of two years. Find the difference in the amount if the interest is calculated in a compounded manner to the amount interested in a simple manner.
  1.    ₹4000
  2.    ₹2000
  3.    ₹1000
  4.    ₹500
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> ₹4000
:
A
When a principal is promised with an interest to be compounded annually, the amount after one year becomes the principal for the next year. So, 10100×400000=40,000
40,000 added to 4,00000 would be the new principal for the next year i.e. 4,40,000. The interest for the second year is calculated on the new principal amount: 10100×440000×1=44,000
So, the final amount after 2 years(compounded annually with 10% interest) =
440000 + 44000 = 4,84,000.
If the principal would have been deposited for an annual simple interest for 10% for a period of two years would be 10100×400000×2=80,000
Therefore amount =
4,00000 + 80,000 = 4,80,000.
So, compound interest is 4,000 more than a simple interest for a period of two years.
Question 20. Find the compound interest paid when a sum of 64,000 is invested for one year and six months at 5% per annum compounded half yearly.
  1.    ₹5421
  2.    ₹4830
  3.    ₹8545
  4.    ₹4921
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> ₹4921
:
D
Given that P =₹ 64,000 r= 5 % and n = 112 years
Since, the rate of interest is calculated annually , for 6 months it will be 2.5 %
A=P(1+r100)n
Here r = 52 % and n = 3 half years
A=64,000(1+52×100)3
A=64,000(4140)3
A=68921
Compound interest = Amount - Principal
=68921 - 64000
=₹ 4921
