Answer: B) more quickly than simple interest Explanation: Compounding interest means interest accrues on the interest charged and the principal amount each period the interest is charged. Compound interest is calculated by multiplying the principal amount by one plus the annual interest rate raised to the number of compound periods minus one.The total initial amount of the loan is then subtracted from the resulting value. The formula for calculating compound interest is: [P (1 + i)n] – P = P [(1 + i)n – 1] (Where P = Principal, i = nominal annual interest rate in percentage terms, and n = number of compounding periods.) Take a three-year loan of Rs. 10,000 at an interest rate of 5% that compounds annually. What would be the amount of interest? In this case, it would be: Rs. 10,000 [(1 + 0.05)3] – 1 = 10,000 [1.157625 – 1] = Rs. 1,576.25.   How it grows ::

Answer: B) 78 Explanation: The pattern is 2x32=64, 3x24=72, 4x19=76 The next number = 5x15.6=78

Answer: C) high pressure and low temperature Explanation: Henry's Law tells that the solubility of a gas is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas above the solvent. Hence under high pressure, more gas is dissolved. Also that Henry's Law involves a constant which is temperature-dependent. Under high temperatures, less gas is dissolved whereas under low temperatures, more gas is dissolved.   For Example ::   You can think of a can of soda. The contents are under pressure and if you shake the can before opening, the soda fizzes out all over as you open it. So the higher the pressure, the more gas or more CO2 can be dissolved in the drink. Eliminate choices 1 and 2. Now focus on the temperature. Soda goes flat (loses carbonation or gas) as it warms up. Soda is usually served cold because more of the carbonation or CO2 stays in the drink when the soda is cold.   Hence, in high pressure and low temperature conditions gases are most soluble in water.
