If 'P' is the Principal Sum , then Compound Interest (CI) @4%, after 2 years is: CI = P{ (1+4/100) (1+4/100) -1} =P { 1+16/10000 +2*4/100 -1} = P{16/10000+2*4/100} Simple Interest SI, @ 4% after 2 years is: SI = P*2*4/100 It is given that, CI - SI= Rs.1, Substituting the values of CI and SI in the...

Given, Compound Interest -Simple Interest = 1 P { 1+ ( 4/100) } ^ 2 - P - ( P×4×2 / 100 ) = 1 On solving, P = 625

Cards, marked with numbers 5 to 50, are placed in a box and mixed throughly. A card is drawn from teh box at random. Find the probability that the number on the taken out card is: (i) a prime number less than 10. (ii) a number which is a perfect square." "
The sample size is 46 (i) The prime numbers less than 10 are 5 and 7. so the probability is 2/46 or 1/23. (ii) The perfect squares are 9,16,25, 36 and 49-five in all so the probability is 5/46
