Question : 26 [SSC CISF ASI 2010]
The value of an equipment depreciates by 20% each year. How much less will the value of the equipment be after 3 years ?
a) 51.2%
b) 48.8%
c) 54%
d) 60%
Answer »Answer: (b)
If the present worth of the equipment be Rs.100, then
its price after 3 years = 100 × $(80/100)^3$ = Rs.51.2
Depriciation = 48.8%
Using Rule 18,
If the population/cost of a town/article is P and it decreases/reduces at the rate of r% annually, then,
- After ‘t' years population/cost = $P(1 - r/100)^t$
- Before ‘t' years population/cost = $P/{(1 - r/100)^t}$
Let the price of equipment be Rs.100
Its price after 3 years. = $100(1 - 20/100)^3$
= $100 × (80/100)^3$ = Rs.51.2
Depriciation = 48.8%
Question : 27
If the population of a town is 64000 and its annual increase is 10%, then its correct population at the end of 3 years will be :
a) 85184
b) 80000
c) 85000
d) 85100
Answer »Answer: (a)
Using Rule 17,
Population of town = $P(1 + R/100)^T$
= $64000(1 + 10/100)^3$
= $64000 × 11/10 × 11/10 × 11/10$ = 85184
Question : 28

a) 4500
b) 4000
c) 5000
d) 6000
Answer »Answer: (b)
By Alligation Rule

Number of men = $1/2 × 8000 = 4000$
Question : 29 [SSC CISF Constable 2011]

a) 105%
b) 100%
c) 108%
d) 111%
Answer »Answer: (d)
If the number of men be 100,then
Number of women = 90
Required per cent = $100/90 × 100 ≈ 111%$
Question : 30 [SSC CGL Tier-I 2015]
The population of a town increases by 5% every year. If the present population is 9261, the population 3 years ago was
a) 5700
b) 8000
c) 6000
d) 7500
Answer »Answer: (b)
Using Rule 17,
P = $P_0(1 + R/100)^T$
9261 = $P_0(1 + 5/100)^3$
9261 = $P_0(1 + 1/20)^3$
9261 = $P_0(21/20)^3$
$P_0 = {9261 × 20 × 20 × 20}/{21 × 21 × 21}$ = 8000
