Key Points

• Microfinance is a financial service that provides small loans and financial products to people who typically don’t have access to traditional banking services
• Excess flow of funds towards microfinance 
• ​This is not typically considered a problem of microfinance
• In fact, many critics argue that the issue is often the lack of sufficient funds or investment, which prevents microfinance institutions from expanding or reaching a larger number of people.
• The real concern is often misallocation or inefficient use of funds.

Additional Information

• Skewed growth across the country:
• This refers to how microfinance institutions (MFIs) tend to concentrate their services in certain regions, often urban or more economically developed areas, rather than being distributed evenly across the country.
• This results in unequal access to microfinance, which can exacerbate existing regional inequalities.
• Thus, skewed growth is indeed a problem associated with microfinance.
• Lack of transparency and absence of governance structure:
• This is a common criticism of many microfinance institutions.
• Some institutions may operate without clear oversight, transparency, or accountability, which can lead to misuse of funds, high-interest rates, or exploitation of borrowers.
• A lack of good governance and transparency hinders trust and the effectiveness of microfinance.
• Operational, attitudinal, and policy-level constraints:
• Microfinance institutions often face various operational challenges, such as high transaction costs due to small loan sizes and geographically dispersed borrowers.
• There may also be policy-level constraints, like inadequate regulation or support for microfinance operations.
• Additionally, attitudinal issues, such as a lack of understanding of the needs of clients or resistance to the microfinance model, can affect the success of these programs.

Given:

Principal (P) = ₹2,400

Simple Interest (SI) = ₹460

Time (T) = 2 years and 4 months = 2 + 4/12 = 2 + 1/3 = 7/3 years

Formula Used:

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

Calculation:

Using the formula for simple interest:

₹460 = (₹2,400 × R × 7/3) / 100

First, we simplify the equation:

₹460 = (₹2,400 × R × 7) / 300

⇒ ₹460 = ₹16,800R / 300

⇒ ₹460 = ₹56R

⇒ R = ₹460 / ₹56 = $8\frac{3}{14}$

The rate of interest per annum is $8\frac{3}{14}$.

The correct answer is option 4.

Given:

Anjali and Manju together can do a piece of work in 5 days.

Anjali does twice as much work as Manju in a given time.

Formula Used:

Work done by Anjali and Manju together in 1 day = 1 / Total days

Work done by Anjali alone in 1 day = 2 × Work done by Manju alone in 1 day

Let the work done by Manju alone in 1 day be M.

Then, the work done by Anjali alone in 1 day = 2M.

Work done by Anjali and Manju together in 1 day = 2M + M = 3M .

Since they can complete the work together in 5 days,

Work done by Anjali and Manju together in 1 day = 1/5

Calculation:

3M = 1/5

⇒ M = 1/(5 × 3)

⇒ M = 1/15

Therefore, the work done by Anjali alone in 1 day = 2M = 2 × 1/15 = 2/15

Number of days required by Anjali alone to complete the work = 1 / (2/15)

⇒ Number of days = 15 / 2

⇒ Number of days = 7.5

Anjali alone would take 7.5 days to do the work.

Given:

Loss = (1/6) of the Selling Price

Formula Used:

Loss Percentage = (Loss / Cost Price) × 100

Calculation:

Let the Selling Price (SP) be 6 units.

Loss = 1/6 of SP

Loss = 1 unit

Therefore, Cost Price (CP) = SP + Loss

CP = 6 + 1 = 7 units

Loss Percentage = (Loss / CP) × 100

Loss Percentage = (1 / 7) × 100

Loss Percentage = $\frac{100}{7}$

Loss Percentage = $14\frac{2}{7}$

The loss percentage is $14\frac{2}{7}$.

Given:

The price of a car increased by 25%.

Formula Used:

Percentage reduction required = $\left(\frac{\text{Increase percentage}}{100 + \text{Increase percentage}}\right) \times 100$

Calculation:

Let the original price be 100.

New price after 25% increase = 100 + 25 = 125

To find the percentage reduction required to bring the price back to 100:

Percentage reduction required = $\left(\frac{25}{125}\right) \times 100$

Percentage reduction required = $\left(\frac{25}{125}\right) \times 100$

⇒ $\left(\frac{25}{125}\right) \times 100$ = 20%

The correct answer is option 1.

Given:

Distance = 10 km

Initial time = 10 minutes = 10/60 hours = 1/6 hours

Formula Used:

Speed = Distance / Time

Time = Distance / Speed

Calculation:

Initial Speed = 10 km / (1/6) hours

Initial Speed = 10 × 6 = 60 km/h

Decreased Speed = 60 km/h - 20 km/h = 40 km/h

Time taken to cover the same distance with decreased speed

Time = Distance / Speed

Time = 10 km / 40 km/h

Time = 1/4 hours

Time = (1/4) × 60 minutes

Time = 15 minutes

The time taken by the train to cover the same distance with decreased speed is 15 minutes.

Given:

Marked price (MP) = ₹2,100

Discount = 15%

Profit = 25%

Formula Used:

Selling Price (SP) = MP × (1 - Discount%)

Cost Price (CP) = SP / (1 + Profit%)

Calculation:

Selling Price (SP) = 2,100 × (1 - 0.15)

SP = 2,100 × 0.85

SP = ₹1,785

Cost Price (CP) = SP / (1 + 0.25)

CP = 1,785 / 1.25

CP = ₹1,428

The cost price of the article is ₹1,428.

Given:

Interest rate = 6% per annum, compounded annually

Loan repayment amount after 5 years = ₹20,000

Formula Used:

Compound Interest Formula:

$A = P(1 + \frac{r}{100})^n$

Where:

A = Final amount (₹20,000)

P = Principal amount (Loan amount)

r = Annual interest rate (6%)

n = Number of years (5)

Calculation:

Using the compound interest formula:

$20000 = P(1 + \frac{6}{100})^5$

20000 = P(1.06)⁵

20000 = P × 1.338225

⇒ $P = \frac{20000}{1.338225}$

⇒ P ≈ 14946.94

Rounding to the nearest thousand:

Loan amount ≈ ₹15,000

The amount of loan that he had taken was ₹15,000.

Given:

The ratio of the salaries of Ram and Shyam is 8:5.

After an increment of ₹2,600 in each of their salaries, the ratio becomes 15:11.

Formula Used:

Let Ram's original salary be 8x and Shyam's original salary be 5x.

After the increment, Ram's salary = 8x + 2600

Shyam's salary = 5x + 2600

According to the given condition:

$\frac{8x + 2600}{5x + 2600} = \frac{15}{11}$

Calculation:

We solve the equation:

⇒ $\frac{8x + 2600}{5x + 2600} = \frac{15}{11}$

⇒ 11 × (8x + 2600) = 15 × (5x + 2600)

⇒ 88x + 28600 = 75x + 39000

⇒ 88x - 75x = 39000 - 28600

⇒ 13x = 10400

⇒ x = 800

Shyam's original salary = 5x = 5 × 800 = 4000

The salary of Shyam is ₹4,000.

Given:

We need to find the highest common factor (HCF) of 161 and 207.

Formula Used:

To find the HCF of two numbers, we use the Euclidean algorithm.

Calculation:

Using the Euclidean algorithm:

⇒ 207 ÷ 161 = 1 remainder 46

⇒ 161 ÷ 46 = 3 remainder 23

⇒ 46 ÷ 23 = 2 remainder 0

The remainder is 0, so the divisor at this step is the HCF.

The highest common factor of 161 and 207 is 23.

Given:

$\frac{844}{0.844} = \frac{84.4}{K}$

Formula Used:

Cross-multiplication to solve for K.

Calculation:

Using cross-multiplication:

⇒ $844 \times K = 84.4 \times 0.844$

⇒ 844K = 71.2336

⇒ K = $\frac{71.2336}{844}$

⇒ K = 0.0844

The value of K is 0.0844.

Given:

Side of the equilateral triangle = 8√3 cm

Formula Used:

Area of an equilateral triangle = $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times \text{side}^2$

Calculation:

Side = 8√3 cm

Area = $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times (8√3)^2$

⇒ Area = $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times 64 \times 3$

⇒ Area = $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times 192$

⇒ Area = $48\sqrt{3}$ cm²

The area of the equilateral triangle is 48√3 cm².

Given:

The average of n natural odd numbers, where n is odd.

Formula Used:

Average of n natural odd numbers = n

Calculation:

Let the n natural odd numbers be:

Sum of these n odd numbers = n²

Average = Sum of numbers / n

Average = n² / n

Average = n

The average of n natural odd numbers is n.

Given:

Area of great circle = 36π m²

π = 3.14

Formula Used:

Area of great circle = πr²

Volume of a hemisphere = (2/3) π r³

Calculation:

Area of great circle = πr²

36π = 3.14r²

r² = 36

r = 6 m

Volume of a hemisphere = (2/3) π r³

Volume of a hemisphere = (2/3) × 3.14 × 6³

Volume of a hemisphere = (2/3) × 3.14 × 216

Volume of a hemisphere = (2/3) × 678.24

Volume of a hemisphere = 452.16 m³

The correct answer is option 3.
