4.
The banker's discount on a sum of money for 1 years is Rs. 558 and the true discount on the same sum for 2 years is Rs. 600. The rate percent is:
10%
13%
12%
15%
Answer: Option
Explanation:

B.D. for years = Rs. 558.
B.D. for 2 years
= Rs. 558 x 2 x 2
3
= Rs. 744

T.D. for 2 years = Rs. 600.

Sum = B.D. x T.D. = Rs. 744 x 600 = Rs. 3100.
B.D. - T.D 144

Thus, Rs. 744 is S.I. on Rs. 3100 for 2 years.

Rate = 100 x 744 % = 12%
3100 x 2

Given banker's discount(b.d) for 3/2 yrs = 558
then banker's discount(b.d) for 2 yrs = x

x=(558*2)/(3/2)
x=744
we know

t.d=(b.d*100)/(100+(r*t))

600=(744*100)/(100+(r*2))

Therefore, r=12%

Help with this given total population 9000. If male increase by5% and female by 8% the population would be 9600. Find number of male and female?

Mohan said:   1 decade ago
@Nandini.

Let x = No of males, y = No of female.
x+y = 9000.

As males increased by 5% no of males become 1.05*x, female becomes 1.08*y there for 1.

05x+1.08y = 9600 by solving the above two equations you will get the answer.
