If the area of a square increases by 69%, then the side of the square increases by ---
Correct Answer:
B: 30%
Explanation:
If the area of a square increases by 69%, then the side of the square increases by --- Correct Answer 30% Let the initial side of the square be X. Initial area = X2 New area = X2 + 69% of X2 = 169% of X2 = 169 / 100 x X2 = 1.69X2 So, new side = √(1.69X2) = 1.3X Therefore, increase in side = (1.3X - X) / X x 100% = 30%

A lent Tk. 4000 to two persons for one year. Some amount was lent at 5% and the rest at 4%. He got Tk. 180 as interest. How much money was lent at 5%?
Correct Answer:
A: 2000
Explanation:
A lent Tk. 4000 to two persons for one year. Some amount was lent at 5% and the rest at 4%. He got Tk. 180 as interest. How much money was lent at 5%? Correct Answer 2000 Interest, I = P n r Let the amount lent at 5% be M. Now, M x 1 x 5/100 + (4000 - M) x 1 x 4/100 = 180 or, 5M + 4(4000 - M) = 180 x 100 [multiply both sides by 100] or, 5M + 16000 - 4M = 18000 or, M = 18000 - 16000 = 2000 TK
