  3. ((c))

    Ptolemy 

  4. ((d))

    Demecus

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))

Megasthenes

The correct answer is Megasthenes.

Key Points 

  • Megasthenes describes the ‘philosophoi’ (sophists and philosophers) as being held in very high esteem in India.
  • Strabo divided them further into two groups, the brachmanes (Brahmanas) and garmanes (shramanas).
  • Megasthenes however seems to think that there was no concept of slavery in India and praised Indian Society. Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.
  • On the other hand, we know from other sources of situations that led to enslavement – a person could be a slave either by birth, by voluntarily selling themselves, by being captured in war, or as a result of judicial punishment.
  • We also know of a tax termed vishti that was paid in labour to the State.
  • Kautilya also described different kinds of slaves.
  • Labour was provided by the dasa-karma karas – slaves and hired labour.
  • According to Arthashastra the various categories of labour included wage labour, bonded labour, and slave labour.

Additional Information

  • Megasthenes was originally a representative of Seleucus Nikator at the court of Sibyrtios, the governor of Arachosia (present-day Kandahar region in Afghanistan).
  • After the treaty between Chandragupta and Seleucus was settled, Megasthenes was sent as Seleucus’ envoy to Chandragupta’s court.
  • Based on his travels and experiences in India, he wrote a book called the Indica.
  • This work is lost. What survives of it is in the form of ‘quotations’ from later writers (Diodorus, Strabo, Arrian and Pliny) concerned with the Hellenistic world.
  • Megasthenes’ Indica described the country, whatever little he saw of it, its size and shape, rivers, soil, climate, plants, animals, agricultural produce, administration, society, and folktales.
  • The animals in the subcontinent particularly captivated the Greek writers and their audiences, and they describe in detail the exotic animals such as elephants, and monkeys and activities such as horse training and elephant training.
  • They also noted the similarities with their own lands, especially in terms of legends and mythologies.

By compounding annually, the compound interest on a sum of Rs. 4,900 in 2 years is Rs. 725. What is the rate of interest per annum?

  1. ((a))

    (9{{1} \over 7})%

  2. ((b))

    (8{{6} \over 7})%

  3. ((c))

    (7{{1} \over 7})%

  4. ((d))

    (3{{1} \over 2})%

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

(7{{1} \over 7})%

Given data: Principal = Rs. 4,900, Compound Interest = Rs. 725, Time = 2 years

Concept: Compound Interest is calculated using the formula: A = P(1 + r/100)t.

Solution:

Amount after 2 years = Principal + Interest = Rs. 4900 + Rs. 725 = Rs. 5625

Rate = [(5625/4900)(1/2) - 1] × 100 = (7{{1} \over 7})%

Therefore, the rate of interest per annum is(7{{1} \over 7})%.

A person borrows ₹ 75,000 for 3 years at 5% simple interest. He lends it to B at 7% for 3 years. What is his gain (in ₹)?

  1. ((a))

    3,500

  2. ((b))

    4,500

  3. ((c))

    6,000

  4. ((d))

    5,000

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))

4,500

Shortcut Trick

Net interest rate gain per year = 7% − 5% = 2%

Total gain percentage over 3 years = 2% × 3 = 6%

Gain amount = 6% of Principal (₹75,000)

⇒ Gain = 75,000 × (6 ÷ 100) = ₹4,500

∴ The correct answer is ₹4,500.

Alternate Method

Given:

Principal (P) = ₹75,000

Time (T) = 3 years

Rate of borrowing (R1) = 5% per annum

Rate of lending (R2) = 7% per annum

Formula Used:

Simple Interest (SI) = (P × R × T) ÷ 100

Gain = SI Received − SI Paid

Calculations:

⇒ Interest paid = (75,000 × 5 × 3) ÷ 100

⇒ Interest paid = 750 × 15 = ₹11,250

⇒ Interest received = (75,000 × 7 × 3) ÷ 100

⇒ Interest received = 750 × 21 = ₹15,750

⇒ Total gain = 15,750 − 11,250 = ₹4,500

∴ The correct answer is ₹4,500.

Additional Information

Simple Interest (SI)

Interest is calculated only on the principal amount throughout the tenure. Formula: SI = (P × R × T) ÷ 100.

Compound Interest (CI)

Interest is calculated on the principal plus any previously accumulated interest. Amount = P × (1 + R/100)T.

Difference Between CI and SI

For 2 years, Difference = P × (R/100)2. For 3 years, Difference = P × (R/100)2 × (3 + R/100).

What will be the compound interest accrued on a sum of Rs. 64000 at the rate of 5% per annum in 2 years compounded annually?

  1. ((a))

    Rs. 6560

  2. ((b))

    Rs. 8550

  3. ((c))

    Rs. 3050

  4. ((d))

    Rs. 4580

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

Rs. 6560

Given:

P = Rs. 64000

r = 5% per annum = 5/100 = 0.05 (in decimal)

n = 1 (as the interest is compounded annually)

t = 2 years

Calculation:

A = 64000(1 + 0.05/1)2

= 64000(1.05)2

= 64000 × 1.1025

= Rs. 70560

So, the total amount after 2 years would be Rs. 70560.

Interest = A - P

= 70560 - 64000

= Rs. 6560

Therefore, the compound interest accrued on a sum of Rs. 64000 at the rate of 5% per annum in 2 years, compounded annually, will be Rs. 6560.

Rs. 2,000

Shortcut Trick

Total effective Cost Price (CP) = 1500 + 100 = Rs. 1,600.

To gain 25% Profit, the Selling Price (SP) is 125% of the CP.

SP = 1,600 × (125/100) = 1,600 × (5/4).

SP = 400 × 5 = Rs. 2,000.

∴ The correct answer is Rs. 2,000.

Alternate Method

Given:

Purchase price of the machine = Rs. 1,500

Repairing charge paid = Rs. 100

Desired Profit percentage = 25%

Formula used:

Total CP = Purchase Price + Overhead Expenses

Selling Price (SP) = CP × [1 + (Profit% / 100)]

Calculations:

⇒ Total Cost Price = 1,500 + 100 = Rs. 1,600

⇒ Profit amount = 25% of 1,600

⇒ Profit amount = (25 / 100) × 1,600 = 400

⇒ Selling Price = Total Cost Price + Profit

⇒ Selling Price = 1,600 + 400 = Rs. 2,000

∴ The correct answer is Rs. 2,000.

Additional Information

Overhead Expenses

Expenses like repairs, freight, or transportation are always added to the purchase price to calculate the effective Cost Price.

Profit and Loss Percentage

Profit % = (Profit ÷ CP) × 100 | Loss % = (Loss ÷ CP) × 100. Both are always calculated on the Cost Price unless stated otherwise.

Fraction Conversion

To simplify calculations, use fraction equivalents: 25% = 1/4, 20% = 1/5, 50% = 1/2.

    20

  3. ((c))

  4. ((d))

    25

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))

20

Shortcut Trick

The ratio of the selling prices is directly proportional to (100 + Profit%):

₹2,700 → (100 + 8) = 108%

₹1 → 108 ÷ 2700 %

₹3,000 → (108 ÷ 2700) × 3000 = 120%

New Profit % = 120% − 100% = 20%

∴ The correct answer is 20%.

Alternate Method

Given:

First Selling Price (SP1) = ₹2,700

First Profit (P1) = 8%

Second Selling Price (SP2) = ₹3,000

Formula Used:

Cost Price (CP) = [Selling Price × 100] ÷ [100 + Profit %]

Profit % = [(SP − CP) ÷ CP] × 100

Calculations:

⇒ CP = (2700 × 100) ÷ (100 + 8)

⇒ CP = 270000 ÷ 108

⇒ CP = ₹2,500

⇒ New Profit = SP2 − CP = 3000 − 2500

⇒ New Profit = ₹500

⇒ New Profit % = (500 ÷ 2500) × 100

⇒ New Profit % = (1 ÷ 5) × 100 = 20%

∴ The correct answer is 20%.

Additional Information

Relationship between SP and CP

When there is a profit, SP = CP + Profit. When there is a loss, SP = CP − Loss. Both profit and loss percentages are calculated on the Cost Price.

Direct Proportion Method

If CP remains constant, the ratio of selling prices is equal to the ratio of their respective percentage values: SP1 / (100 ± P/L1) = SP2 / (100 ± P/L2).

Marked Price and Discount

Selling Price can also be calculated using Marked Price (MP) and Discount%: SP = MP × (100 − Discount%) ÷ 100.

Answer: ((a))

1600

Given:

There were two candidates in an election, 10% of voters did not vote and 48 votes were found invalid. The winning candidate got 53% of the total votes and won by 304 votes.

Concept used:

Percentage

Calculation:

Let the total number of voters be 100x

10% of voters did not vote 

Number of voters who vote = 100x - 10x = 90x

48 votes were found invalid

Valid votes = 90x - 48

Votes gained by the winning candidate = (\frac{{53}}{{100}} \times 100x = 53x)

Votes gained by the loosing candidate = 90x - 48 - 53x

⇒ 37x - 48

As per the question,

⇒ 53x - (37x - 48) = 304

⇒ 16x = 304 - 48

⇒ 16x = 256

⇒ x = 16

∴ Total number of voters = 100x = 1600

Alternate Method 

Let total number of votes be 100 units,

10% voters did not cast their vote

⇒ Votes polled = 90 units

The winning candidate got 53% of all the voters in the list and won by 304 votes,

⇒ Winning candidate got = 53 units votes

⇒ Other candidate got = 37 units votes

⇒ Difference in votes = 53 units votes - 37 units votes = 304 - 48 = 256 votes

⇒ 16 units = 256

∴ 100 units votes = 256/16 × 100 = 1600 votes

∴ Total number of voters = 1600.

  2. ((b))

    22 km/hr

  3. ((c))

    25 km/hr

  4. ((d))

    48 km/hr

Show Answer
Answer: ((d))

48 km/hr

Given,

The bus goes from Noida to Kanpur with a speed of = 40 km/hr

The bus comes from Kanpur to Noida with a speed of = 60 km/hr

Formula:

Average speed = Total Distance/total time

Calculation:

Let the total distance between Noida to Kanpur be LCM(40, 60) = 120 km

Time is taken by bus from Noida to Kanpur with the speed of 40 km/hr

120/40 = 3 hrs

Time taken by bus from Kanpur to Noida with the speed of 60 km/hr

120/60 = 2 hrs

Total time = 2 + 3 = 5 hrs

Total distance = 120 + 120 = 240 km

Average speed = 240/5 = 48 km/hr

∴ The average speed is 48 km/h

Average speed = 2xy/(x + y)

Average speed = (2 × 40 × 60)/(40 + 60) = 48 km/hr

Average speed = 240/5 = 48 km/hr

∴ The average speed is 48 km/h

A train moving at a speed of 63 km/hr enters a railway station and crosses the platform in 20 s. If the length of the train is 100 m, what is the length of the platform?

  1. ((a))

    150 m

  2. ((b))

    200 m

  3. ((c))

    250 m

  4. ((d))

    300 m

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

250 m

Shortcut Trick

Convert Speed to m/s: 63 × 5/18 = 17.5 m/s.

Total Distance (Train + Platform) = Speed × Time = 17.5 × 20 = 350 m.

Platform Length = Total Distance − Train Length = 350 − 100 = 250 m.

∴ The correct answer is 250 m.

Alternate Method

Given:

Speed of the train = 63 km/hr

Time taken to cross the platform = 20 s

Length of the train (Lt) = 100 m

Formula:

Total Distance = Length of Train + Length of Platform = Speed × Time

Calculations:

⇒ Speed in m/s = 63 × (5/18) m/s

⇒ Speed = 7 × (5/2) = 17.5 m/s

⇒ Let Platform Length be Lp

⇒ Total Distance = Lt + Lp = 100 + Lp

⇒ 100 + Lp = 17.5 × 20

⇒ 100 + Lp = 350

⇒ Lp = 350 − 100

⇒ Lp = 250 m

The calculated length of the platform is 250 m, which corresponds to Option (3).

∴ The correct answer is 250 m.

Additional Information

Unit Conversion

To convert speed from km/hr to m/s, multiply by 5/18. To convert m/s to km/hr, multiply by 18/5.

Crossing Stationary Objects

When a train crosses a platform, bridge, or tunnel, the total distance covered is (Length of train + Length of the object).

Relative Speed

If two objects move in the opposite direction, relative speed = S1 + S2. In the same direction, relative speed = |S1 − S2|.

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))

31

Given:

The average age of 16 boys is 14.

A new is included, then the average becomes 15

Concept:

Average age = Total age / Number of people 

Calculation:

Total age of the 16 boys = 16 × 14

⇒ 224 years.

After the addition of the new boy,

The total of (16 + 1) age will be,

⇒ 17 × 15 = 255 years.

So, the age of the new boy is (255 - 224) = 31 years.

The age of the new boy is 31 years.

Alternate Method 

Given:

The average age of 16 boys is 14.

A new is included, then the average becomes 15

Calculation: 

The total increase in the sum of the ages = 16 × 1

⇒ 16 years.

So, the age of the new boy is (16 + 15) = 31 years

The age of the new boy is 31 years.

Hence,

Percentage change = [(400 – 360)/360] × 100

⇒ 40/360 × 100

⇒ 1/9 × 100 = 11.11%

∴ The percentage change in CO2 concentration is 11.11%.

Styles are arguably the most important feature in Microsoft Word. Because everything that you do in Word has a style attached. The definition of a style is two-fold. First, you can think of a style as a set of pre-defined formatting instructions that you can use repeatedly throughout the document. Let's say each heading in a document must be centered, uppercase, bold, and a slightly larger font size. Each time you need to apply formatting to the heading, you have to go through the entire process to get the text the way you want it. If you store the formatting commands in a style, you can apply that style any time you need it without having to do all of the reformatting.
