a way that the vowels always come together?
a) 120 b) 360
31
c) 720 d) 5040
Answer
The word 'LEADING' has 7 different letters.
When the vowels EAI are always together, they can be supposed to form one letter.
Then, we have to arrange the letters LNDG (EAI).
Now, 5 (4 + 1 = 5) letters can be arranged in 5! = 120 ways.
The vowels (EAI) can be arranged among themselves in 3! = 6 ways.
Required number of ways = (120 x 6) = 720.

780) If f(x) = –2x3+ 9x2+ 20x + 50. Find out the point of inflexion.
a) (1.5, 93.5) b) (1.5, 92.5)
c) (1, 93.5) d) None of these
Answer
Given function
f(x) = 2x3 + 9x2 +20x +50
First calculate f '(x) and then f’’(x)
F’(x) = –6x2 + 18x + 20
f’’(x) = –12x + 18
Now equate to zero
–12 x + 18 = 0
12 x = 18
x = 18/12 = 3/2 =1.5
Let us take two points x = 1 and x = 2 each side of x = 1.5
At x = 1  f(x=1) = –6(1) +18 (1) + 20 = 32 ( + ve slope)
At x = 2  f(x = 2 ) = –6 (4) + 18(2) + 20 = 32 ( +ve slope)
As the slop of the tangent does not change sign while crossing the critical point x = 1.5
Therefore it is a point of inflection
Put x = 1.5 in original function to get the coordinates of point of inflection.
f(x =1) = – 2( 1.5)3 + 9 ( 1.5 )2 +20(1.5) +50 = 93.5
Therefore, coordinates are (1.5, 93.5)

First we will multiply above quantity function with p to find revenue function
Revenue= pq
Revenue = (1800-30p)p =1800p-30p2
Now put the value of p=30 in above revenue function to get Revenue
Revenue = 1800(30)-30(30)2=27,000

Answer
First we will find revenue function
Revenue = Price × Quantity

797) A firm manufactures items which it can sell for Rs D(x) = 760.33 – 0.011x each. The
commission on selling is 10%.
The cost of producing 'x' items is Rs. C(x) = 3x2 – 8x + 2000.
Find profit function
a) –3.01x2 + 692.3x - 2,000 b) –3.01x2 + 692.3x + 2,000
c) –3.01x - 692.3x - 2,000
2
d) None of these
Answer
First of all we will find the net demand function
Commission = (760.33 – 0.011x)10% =76.03-0.001x
Net Demand = Demand - Commission
=760.33 – 0.011x-76.03-0.001x = 684.3 – 0.01x
Now, we will find the revenue function
Revenue = (Net Demand Function) Quantity sold
125
Revenue = (684.3 – 0.01x)x
R(x) = 684.3x – 0.01x2
We know that
Profit = Revenue - Cost
P (x) = 684.3x – 0.01x2 – (3x2 – 8x + 2,000)
P(x) = 684.3x- 0.01 x2 –3x2+ 8x– 2,000
P(x) = –3.01x2 + 692.3x - 2,000
Which is the required profit function:

The cost of producing 'x' items is Rs. C(x) = 3x2 – 8x + 2000. How many items should the firm
manufacture in order to maximize the profit?
a) 115 b) 120
c) 112 d) 135
Answer
P(x) = –3 01.x2 + 692.3x - 2,000
P'(x) = –6.02x + 692.3
Critical point is given by
–6.02x + 692. 3 = 0
–6.02x = -692. 3
x= 115
Now calculate P'' (x)
P" (x) = –6.02
Because the P" (x) < 0 So the profit is maximum at x = 115

819) Cost = C=500/x + 2x3 - 3x + 80, Price =150 per unit and 3% commission. Find profit function
Answer
Profit = revenue - Cost
First we will find revenue
R = Price x qty
= (150 – 3% of 150)x
R = 145.5x
Now Profit = 145.5x – 500/x – 2x3 + 3x – 80
Profit = 148.5x – 500/x – 2x3 – 80

x
Required units (X) at profit 30,000

a) 241.13 b) 289.42 c) 242.74 d) 208.00
Answer
Revenue = Sale price x Quantity
R = (120-120x0.05)x = 114x
Profit = Revenue-Cost
30,000 = 114x-(10x+50/x +100)
By solving on calculator we have x=289.42
Hence correct option is B
1000
822) Sale price = 50 commission = 2% C = - 50x + + 2,500 Profit=25,000

1000
823) Sale price = 50 commission = 5% C = 5x + x
+ 2,500 Profit = 20,000
Answer
R = (50-50x0.05)x = 47.5x
20,000 = 47.5x-(5x+1000/x +2500)
1000
824) Sale price = 50 commission = 5% C = -5x - x
+ 120 Profit = 20,000
Answer

20,000 = 47.5x-(5x+1000/x +120)
1000
825) Sale price = 50 commission = 5% C = 5x + + 120 Profit = 20,000
x

Answer
R = (50-50x0.05)x = 47.5x
130
20,000 = 47.5x-(-5x+1000/x +120)
commission on selling is 10%. The cost of producing 'x' items is Rs. C(x) = 3x2 – 8x + 2000. How
many items should the firm manufacture in order to make profit Rs 30,000
a) 64 units b) 166 units
Answer
P(x) = –3.01x2 + 692.3x - 2,000
30000 = –3.01x2 + 692.3x - 2,000
0 = –3.01x2 + 692.3x - 32,000
By solving Quadratic equation on calculator we get two production levels
x=64 units and x=166 units
So there are two levels of production at which profit of 30,000 can be generated.

a) 15 b) 96
c) 216 d) 120
e) 625 f) None of these
Answer
Solution:
Test of divisibility for 3
The sum of the digits of any number that is divisible by '3' is divisible by 3.
For instance, take the number 54372.
Sum of its digits is 5+4+3+7+2=21
As 21 is divisible by '3', 54372 is also divisible by 3.
There are six digits viz., 0,1,2,3,4 and 5. To form 5-digit numbers we need exactly 5 digits. So
we should not be using one of the digits.
The sum of all the six digits 0,1,2,3,4 and 5 is 15. We know that any number is divisible by 3 if
and only if the sum of its digits is divisible by '3'.
Combining the two criteria that we use only 5 of the 6 digits and pick them in such a way that
the sum is divisible by 3, we should not use either '0' or '3' while forming the five digit numbers.
Case 1
If we do not use '0', then the remaining 5 digits can be arranged in:
5! ways=120 numbers.
Case 2
If we do not use '3', then the arrangements should take into account that '0' cannot be the first
digit as a 5-digit number will not start with '0'.
The first digit from the left can be any of the 4 digits 1,2,4 or 5
Then the remaining 4 digits including '0' can be arranged in the other 4 places in 4! ways.
So, there will be 4×4! numbers =4×24=96 numbers.
Combining Case 1 and Case 2, there are a total of 120+96= 216, 5 digit numbers divisible by '3'
that can be formed using the digits 0 to 5.
928) In a group of 6 boys and 4 girls, four children are to be selected. In how many different ways can

Answer
We may have (1 boy and 3 girls) or (2 boys and 2 girls) or (3 boys and 1 girl) or (4 boys).
Required number of ways

930) How many 3-digit numbers can be formed from the digits 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 and 9, which are divisible
by 5 and none of the digits is repeated?
e) 5 f) 10
g) 15 h) 20
Answer
Since each desired number is divisible by 5, so we must have 5 at the unit place. So, there is 1
way of doing it.
The tens place can now be filled by any of the remaining 5 digits (2, 3, 6, 7, 9). So, there are 5
ways of filling the tens place.
The hundreds place can now be filled by any of the remaining 4 digits. So, there are 4 ways of
filling it.
931) A box contains 2 white balls, 3 black balls and 4 red balls. In how many ways can 3 balls be

a) 32 b) 48
c) 64 d) 96
Answer
We may have (1 black and 2 non-black) or (2 black and 1 non-black) or (3 black).
Required number of ways = (3C1 x 6C2) + (3C2 x 6C1) + (3C3)
=64.
932) In how many different ways can the letters of the word 'DETAIL' be arranged in such a way that
the vowels occupy only the odd positions?
a) 32 b) 48
c) 36 d) 60
Answer
There are 6 letters in the given word, out of which there are 3 vowels and 3 consonants.
Let us mark these positions as under:
(1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6)
Now, 3 vowels can be placed at any of the three places out 4, marked 1, 3, 5.
Number of ways of arranging the vowels = 3P3 = 3! = 6.
Also, the 3 consonants can be arranged at the remaining 3 positions.
Number of ways of these arrangements = 3P3 = 3! = 6.
Total number of ways = (6 x 6) = 36.
933) In how many ways the word CORRECT be arranged

934) In how many different ways can the letters of the word 'LEADING’ be arranged in such a way
that the vowels always come together?
a) 360 b) 480
c) 720 d) 5040
Answer
146
The word 'LEADING' has 7 different letters.
When the vowels EAI are always together, they can be supposed to form one letter.
Then, we have to arrange the letters LNDG (EAI).
Now, 5 (4 + 1 = 5) letters can be arranged in 5! = 120 ways.
The vowels (EAI) can be arranged among themselves in 3! = 6 ways.
935) Out of 7 consonants and 4 vowels, how many words of 3 consonants and 2 vowels can be
formed?
a) 210 b) 1050
c) 25200 d) 21400
Answer
Number of ways of selecting (3 consonants out of 7) and (2 vowels out of 4)
= (7C3 x 4C2)
= 210.
Number of groups, each having 3 consonants and 2 vowels = 210.
Each group contains 5 letters.
Number of ways of arranging
5 letters among themselves = 5!
= 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120.
936) How many 3-digit numbers can be formed from the digits 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 and 9, which are divisible
by 5 and none of the digits is repeated?
a) 5 b) 10
c) 15 d) 20
Answer
Since each desired number is divisible by 5, so we must have 5 at the unit place. So, there is 1 way of
doing it.
The tens place can now be filled by any of the remaining 5 digits (2, 3, 6, 7, 9). So, there are 5 ways of
filling the tens place.
The hundreds place can now be filled by any of the remaining 4 digits. So, there are 4 ways of filling it.

four-year period are as follows.
Year Rs.
1 17,000
2 25,000
3 16,000
4 4,000
The project would also need an investment in working capital of Rs. 8,000, from the beginning of Year
1. The company uses a discount rate of 11% to evaluate its investments Using the NPV you have
calculated at 11%, and the NPV at a discount rate of 15%, estimate the internal rate of return (IRR) of
the project.
a. 16.5% b.12.5% c. 8.03% d. 16.73%
199
Answer
Using rate of 11 % we get PV of inflows as follows
17000 25000 16000 4000

PV of Inflows      49,939.86
(1  .011) (1  .011) (1  .011) (1  .011) 4
2 3
NPV at 11% = 49,939.86-45000 = 4,939.86

Using rate of 15 % we get PV of inflows as follows
17000 25000 16000 4000

PV of Inflows      46,493.47
(1  .015) (1  .015) (1  .015) (1  .015) 4
2 3
NPV at 11% = 46,493.47-45,000 = 1,493.47

Now using formula of interpolation
High NPV
IRR  Lower Rate  ( High Rate  Low Rate)
High NPV  Low NPV
4939.86
IRR  0.11  (0.15  0.11)  16.73%
4939.86  1493.47
We will not use working capital outflow in this question as it is not related to the investment in machine.
It is indirect expense of company like electricity expense or salaries of Labour etc.

c) 0.10 million d) 0
Answer
First we will find the future value of investment at given rate of interest
A  P(1  r1 )(1  r2 )(1  r3 )
A  3(1  0.10)(1  0.12)(1  0.14)

for the next twenty years -- starting next year -- so that she will be able to withdraw Rs. 50,000 per year for twenty
years once she retires, with the first withdrawal on her 61st birthday. Carol is 20 years old today. How much must
she set aside each year for her retirement if she can earn 10% on her funds?
a) Rs 425,678.19 b) Rs 63,274.35
221
c) Rs 1,104.75 d) Rs
Solution
PV60 = Rs. 50,000 (PV annuity factor for N=20, i=10%)
PV60 = Rs. 50,000 (8.5136)
PV60 = Rs. 425,678.19
Because she will stop making payments on her 40th birthday (first is on her 21st birthday, last is on her
40th birthday), we must calculate the balance in the account on her 40th birthday:
PV40 = PV60 / (1 + 0.10)20 = Rs. 63,274.35
Then, we need to calculate the deposits necessary to reach the goal:
FV40 = PV40 = Rs. 63,274.35
N = 20
i = 10%
FV = CF (FV annuity factor for N=20, i=10%)
Rs. 63,274.35 = CF (FV annuity factor for N=20, i=10%)
Rs. 63,274.35 = CF (57.2750)
CF =payment = Rs. 1,104.75 per year
1359) Have I got a deal for you! If you lend me Rs 60,000 today, I promise to pay you back in twenty-
five annual installments of Rs 5,000, starting five years from today (that is, my first payment to you
is five years from today). You can earn 6% on your investments. Will you lend me the money?
a) No, you will not lend b) Yes, you will lend
c) Date is incomplete d) Both options are same
Solution
This is a deferred annuity problem
CF = Rs. 5,000 n = 25 i = 6%
PV4 = Rs. 5,000 (PV annuity factor for n=25 and i=6%)
PV4 = Rs. 5,000 (12.7834)
PV4 = Rs. 63,916.78
PV0 = Rs. 63,916.78 / (1 + 0.06)4 = Rs. 50,628.08
You probably shouldn't lend the money under these terms. If you lend me Rs 60,000, I am repaying you
using terms such that the value of my repayment is Rs 50,628.08.
1360) A loan company is willing to lend you Rs. 10,000 today if you promise to repay the loan in six
monthly payments of Rs. 2,000 each, beginning today. What is the effective annual interest rate on
Trust Worthy's loan terms?
a) b)
c) d)
Use the present value of an annuity due to approach this problem (because the first payment is today).
PV = Rs. 10,000
CF = Rs. 2,000
N=6
PV annuity due = CF (PV annuity factor for N=6, i=?)(1 + i)
Rs. 10,000 = Rs. 2,000 (PV annuity factor for N=6, i=?)(1 + i)
5 = (PV annuity factor for N=6, i=?)(1 + i)
Through trial error using the tables for N=6 such that the factor multiplied by 1+ i is equal to 5,
i = 8%
