Answer : 1. "Rs. 6000"
Explanation :
Answer: A) Rs. 6000 Explanation: Let the sum invested be Rs. P Let the rate of interest be R% per annum => Interest earned for 5 years = (P x 5 x R/100) = PR/20 Now, given that the interest earned increased by Rs. 600 if the Rate increased to (R+2)% => SI = (P x 5 x (R+2))/100 = PR/20 + 10P/100 Hence, PR/20 + 10P/100 = PR/20 + 600 => P = 6000 Therefore, the sum invested is Rs. 6000

Answer : 3. "3.75 km"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 3.75 km Explanation: Let 'd' be the distance between A and BK -time = d/10 + d/9 = 19d/90 hoursL -time = 2d/12 = d/6 hoursWe know that, 10 min = 1/6 hoursThus, time difference between K and L is given as 10 minutes. => 19d/90 - d/6 = 1/6=> (19d-15d)/90 = 1/6=> 4d/90 = 1/6Thus,d= 15/4 km = 3.75 km. hence the distance between A and B is 3.75 km.
