14. If a sum of $1200 is invested at an annual simple interest rate of 5% for 2 years, what is the total interest earned?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: $120

Explanation To find the interest earned using the simple interest formula, use: Simple Interest = 𝑃 × 𝑟 × 𝑡 where: P is the principal amount ($1200), r is the annual interest rate (5% or 0.05), t is the time in years (2 years). Substitute the values into the formula: Simple Interest= 1200×0.05×2 Calculate: Simple Interest= 1200×0.05=60 Simple Interest= 60×2=120

15. A:B = 2:3, B:C = 3:4, A:D = 4:5. Find C:D?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 8:5

Explanation A/B = 2/3 B/C = 3/4 A/D = 4/5 We can start by finding the relationship between B and D: B/A = 3/2 (inverse of A/B) A/D = 4/5 Multiplying these two fractions, we get: B/D = (3/2) × (4/5) = 12/10 = 6/5 Now, we can find C/D: C/D = (C/B) × (B/D) = (4/3) × (6/5) = 8/5

16. Divide Rs. 600 in ratio 2 : 3. Larger share?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 360

Explanation Total parts = 2 + 3 = 5 Larger share = (3/5) × 600 = 360 Last verified on 15-02-2026

17. If 28 men can finish a work in 15 days, 21 men can finish the same work _____?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 20 days

Explanation More men, less days (inverse proportion) 28 men × 15 days = 21 men × x days x = (28 × 15) / 21 = 20 days Last verified on 10-03-2026

18. If a : b = 8 : 9 and b : c = 6 : 5, then find a : b : c?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 16 : 18 : 15

Explanation a:b = 8:9, b:c = 6:5 Make b same: a:b = 16:18, b:c = 18:15 So, a:b:c = 16:18:15

19. What is the ratio of 12 minute to 1 hour:

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 1:5

Explanation To find the ratio of 12 minutes to 1 hour, we first convert 1 hour into minutes: 1 hour = 60 minutes. Now, the ratio of 12 minutes to 60 minutes is: 12 ​/ 60 = 1/ 5 ​

20. Total students are 500, present are 300. find out the ratio of present to absent?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 3:2

Explanation Given: Total students = 500 Present students = 300 Step 1: Find absent students Absent = 500 − 300 = 200 Step 2: Form ratio (Present : Absent) 300 : 200 Step 3: Simplify the ratio Divide both by 100: 3 : 2
