Ans) 3/4 = 0.75
5/12 = 0.42
13/16 = 0.81
16/29 = 0.55
3/8 = 0.375
Therefore ascending order is :
3/8 < 5/12 < 16/29 < 3/4 < 13/16
Ans) There are five prime numbers between 30 and 50.
They are 31,37,41,43 and 47.
Therefore,
the required average = (31+37+41+43+47)/5 = 199/5 = 39.8
Ans) Let population of town initially =100X
Population after 44% increase in 1st year = 100X + 44 /100 × 100X = 144X
Population after 75% increase in 2nd year = 144X + 75/100 x 144X = 252X
Thus, rate of increase in population
= {(252X – 144X)/100X} x 100 = 152%
=> Average rate of increase in population in 2 years = 152/2 = 76%
Ans) When the interest is compounded annually,
Amount after n years = Principal × (1 + Rate/100)^n
Given, Principal = Rs. 2000
Amount after 2 years = Rs. 3645
=> 3645 = 2000 × (1 + Rate/100)^2
=> (1 + Rate/100)^2 = 3645/2000 = 729/400
Now,
Amount after 4 years = 2000 × (1 + Rate/100)^4 = 2000 × (1 + Rate/100)^2 × (1 + Rate/100)^2
Therefore,
Amount after 4 years = 3645 × 729/400 = Rs. 6643.0125
