Answer : 2. "Rs. 2.04"
Explanation :

Answer: B) Rs. 2.04 Explanation: Compound Interest for 1 1⁄2 years when interest is compounded yearly = Rs.(5304 - 5000) Amount after 11⁄2 years when interest is compounded half-yearly Compound Interest for 1 1⁄2 years when interest is compounded half-yearly = Rs.(5306.04 - 5000) Difference in the compound interests = (5306.04 - 5000) - (5304 - 5000)= 5306.04 - 5304 = Rs. 2.04

Answer : 1. "2000"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 2000 Explanation: Let 's' be the number of small packets and 'b' the number of large packets sold on that day.   Therefore, s + b = 5000 ... eqn (1)   Each small packet was sold for Rs.150.Therefore, 's' small packets would have fetched Rs.150s.   Each large packets was sold for Rs.250.Therefore, 'b' large packets would have fetched Rs.250b.   Total value of sale = 150s + 250b = Rs. 10.5 Lakhs (Given)   Or 150s + 250b = 10,50,000 ... eqn (2)   Multiplying equation (1) by 150, we get 150s + 150b = 7,50,000 ... eqn (3)   Subtracting eqn (3) from eqn (2), we get 100b = 3,00,000Or b = 3000   We know that s + b = 5000So, s = 5000 - b = 5000 - 3000 = 2000.   2000 small packets were sold.

Answer : 1. "30,400"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 30,400 Explanation: we can treat every two consecutive terms as one.So, we will have a total of 100 terms of the nature:(2 + 5) + (7 + 6) + (12 + 7).... => 7, 13, 19,....   We know the sum of n terms  nn+12   Now, a= 7, d=6 and n=100Hence the sum of the given series is S= 100/2 x[2 x 7 + 99 x 6]=> 50[608]=> 30,400.
