What is the compound interest on ₹20,000 at 5% per annum for 2 years, if the interest is compounded quarterly?

The correct answer is C: ₹2,105.13. Step 1: For quarterly compounding, rate per quarter = 5/4 = 1.25%, number of quarters = 2 × 4 = 8. Step 2: A = 20000(1 + 1.25/100)^8 = 20000(1.0125)^8. Step 3: (1.0125)^8 ≈ 1.10256, so A ≈ 22051.3. Step 4: CI = 22051.3 - 20000 = ₹2,051.3. Closest option is C. So option C is correct.

What is the remainder when 2^50 is divided by 5?

The correct answer is D: 4. To find the remainder when \(2^{50}\) is divided by 5, we use the **Fermat's Little Theorem** approach by finding the pattern of powers of 2 modulo 5. **Step 1: Find the pattern of powers of 2 (mod 5)** Calculate successive powers of 2 and their remainders when divided by 5: \[2^1 \equiv 2 \pmod{5}\

A person borrowed ₹25,000 from a bank at 8% simple interest per annum. After 18 months, he paid back some amount and the remaining debt after that was ₹18,500 (including interest till that point). How much did he pay back?

The correct answer is B: ₹10,000. Step 1: SI for 18 months (1.5 years) = (25000 × 8 × 1.5) / 100 = ₹3,000. Step 2: Total amount due = 25000 + 3000 = ₹28,000. Step 3: Amount paid back = 28000 - 18500 = ₹9,500. So option A is correct. Wait, let me verify: 28000 - 18500 = 9500. The answer should be A.

A's salary is 40% more than B's salary. If their combined salary is ₹84,000, what is B's salary?

The correct answer is A: ₹35,000. Let B's salary = x. A's salary = 1.4x. x + 1.4x = 84,000. 2.4x = 84,000. x = ₹35,000

If the cost price of an article is ₹800 and it is sold at 25% profit, what is the selling price?
