Answer: B) 8.16 % Explanation: Let the sum be Rs. 100. Then,S.I. for first 6 months = (100 x 8 x 1) / (100 x 2) = Rs. 4S.I. for last 6 months = (104 x 8 x 1) / (100 x 2) = Rs. 4.16So, amount at the end of 1 year = (100 + 4 + 4.16) = Rs. 108.16Effective rate = (108.16 - 100) = 8.16%.

Answer: B) 1/2 Explanation: The number of exhaustive outcomes is 36.Let E be the event of getting an even number on one die and an odd number on the other. Let the event of getting either both even or both odd then = 18/36 = 1/2P(E) = 1 - 1/2 = 1/2.
