Numerical Ability Quiz
1. A man invests ₹5,000 at 12% per annum compound interest for 2 years. What is the amount after 2 years?
**Solution**: Amount = P(1 + R/100)^T = 5000(1 + 12/100)^2 = 5000(1.12)^2 = 5000 × 1.2544 = ₹6,272.
**Answer: B) ₹6,272**
**Answer: B) ₹6,272**
2. The length of a rectangle is twice its breadth. If the perimeter is 60 cm, what is the area?
**Solution**: Let breadth = x, length = 2x. Perimeter = 2(L + B) = 2(2x + x) = 6x = 60, x = 10. Area = L × B = 2x × x = 2 × 10 × 10 = 200 cm².
**Answer: C) 200 cm²**
**Answer: C) 200 cm²**
3. A pipe fills a tank in 6 hours, and another pipe empties it in 8 hours. If both are opened together, how long will it take to fill the tank?
**Solution**: Fill rate = 1/6, empty rate = 1/8. Net rate = 1/6 – 1/8 = 1/24. Time = 1 / (1/24) = 24 hours.
**Answer: B) 24 hours**
**Answer: B) 24 hours**
4. If a number is increased by 20% and then decreased by 20%, what is the net percentage change?
**Solution**: Let original = 100. After 20% increase = 120. After 20% decrease = 120 × (80/100) = 96. Net change = (96 – 100) / 100 × 100 = -4%.
**Answer: B) -4%**
**Answer: B) -4%**
