Answer : 2. "Rs. 441"
Explanation :

Answer: B) Rs. 441 Explanation: Given principal amount = Rs. 8000 Time = 3yrs Rate = 5% C.I for 3 yrs = 8000 x 105100 x 105100 x 105100 - 8000= Rs. 1261   Now, C.I for 2 yrs = 8000 x 105100 x 105100= Rs. 820    Hence, the required difference in C.I is 1261 - 820 = Rs. 441

Answer : 2. "2 : 1"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 2 : 1 Explanation: Given that train K crosses a pole in 30 seconds and train L crosses the same pole in one minute and 15 seconds. Let the length of train K be Lk and that of train L be Ll given that Lk = 3/4 Ll As the train K and L crosses the pole in 30 seconds and 80 seconds respectively, => Speed of train K = sk = Lk/30 Speed of train L = sl = Ll/80 Lk = 3/4 Ll => sk = 3/4 Ll/(30) = Ll/40 Ratio of their speeds = sk : sl = Ll/40 : Ll/80 => 1/40 : 1/80  =  2 : 1

Answer : 2. "30 mts"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 30 mts Explanation: The cow can graze an area of 2826 sq.m i.e it is able to cover area of circle of 2826 sq.m   Therefore, πr2 =2826r2 =(2826×7/22) = 899.18 = 900r = 30 m.   Therefore, the radius of the circle implies the length of the rope = 30 mts.
