• Question 6 of 10 6. Question The average weight of 12 sailors in a boat decreases by 2kg when one of the sailors who weighs 80kgs is replaced by a new sailor. What is the weight of the new sailor? A. 78kgs B. 58kgs C. 68kgs D. None of the above Correct Correct Answer : D) None of the above Answer Justification : Due to the replacement of a sailor weighing 80kgs, the change in the average weight is -2kgs. Since the number of sailors remain the same i.e. 12, The total change in the weight = 12 × -2 = -24kgs. This change has happened due to the replacement.

#### 7. Question
The difference between Compound Interest and Simple Interest on a certain sum of money at 10 % per annum for 3 years is Rs. 930. Find the principal if it is known that the interest is compounded annually.
Correct Answer: B) 30000
The Simple after three years for 10% is 30%.
The Compound Interest after three years for 10% is 1.11.11.1=1.331
Cumulative rate of compound interest = 33.1%
Difference between SI and CI= 3.1%
Principal = 930*100/3.1= 30000
Correct Answer: B) 30000
The Simple after three years for 10% is 30%.
The Compound Interest after three years for 10% is 1.11.11.1=1.331
Cumulative rate of compound interest = 33.1%
Difference between SI and CI= 3.1%
Principal = 930*100/3.1= 30000
• Question 8 of 10 8. Question Kalmesh, Pragathi and Tabhu started a business by investing Rs X, Rs (X+400) and Rs (X-200).

(a) Rs 6100 (b) Rs 5400 (c) Rs 5100 (d) Rs 6600 Correct Correct Answer: B) 5400rs Kalmesh : Pragathi : Tabhu X : (X+400) : (X-200) So (X+X-200)/(X + X+400 + X-200) 13500 = 8100 Solve, X = 1600 So ratio of profit share is 1600 : 2000 : 1400 = 8 : 10 : 7 So profit share of Pragathi = 10/25 13500 = Rs 5400. Incorrect Correct Answer: B) 5400rs Kalmesh : Pragathi : Tabhu X : (X+400) : (X-200) So (X+X-200)/(X + X+400 + X-200) 13500 = 8100 Solve, X = 1600 So ratio of profit share is 1600 : 2000 : 1400 = 8 : 10 : 7 So profit share of Pragathi = 10/25 13500 = Rs 5400.
#### 8. Question
Kalmesh, Pragathi and Tabhu started a business by investing Rs X, Rs (X+400) and Rs (X-200). If after the end of year, total share of profit of Kalmesh and Tabhu is Rs 8100 out of a total profit of Rs 13,500, find the profit share of Pragathi.
• (a) Rs 6100
• (b) Rs 5400
• (c) Rs 5100
• (d) Rs 6600
Correct Answer: B) 5400rs
Kalmesh : Pragathi : Tabhu
X : (X+400) : (X-200)
So (X+X-200)/(X + X+400 + X-200) * 13500 = 8100
Solve, X = 1600
So ratio of profit share is
1600 : 2000 : 1400 = 8 : 10 : 7
So profit share of Pragathi = 10/25 * 13500 = Rs 5400.
Correct Answer: B) 5400rs
Kalmesh : Pragathi : Tabhu
X : (X+400) : (X-200)
So (X+X-200)/(X + X+400 + X-200) * 13500 = 8100
Solve, X = 1600
So ratio of profit share is
1600 : 2000 : 1400 = 8 : 10 : 7
So profit share of Pragathi = 10/25 * 13500 = Rs 5400.
