Kajol took loan from a bank at the rate of 12% p.a. simple interest. After 3 years, she had to pay PKR 5400 interest only for the period. The principal amount borrowed by her was:

We can use the following formula to calculate the simple interest: Simple Interest = (Principal * Rate * Time) / 100 Where: Principal is the amount of money borrowed. Rate is the interest rate per year. Time is the number of years the loan is borrowed for. We know that the simple interest is PKR 5400, the rate is 12% p.a., and the time is 3 years. We need to calculate the principal. Substituting the known values into the formula, we get: 5400 = (Principal * 12 * 3) / 100 Multiplying both sides of the equation by 100, we get: 540000 = Principal * 12 * 3 Dividing both sides of the equation by 12 * 3, we get: Principal = 540000 / (12 * 3) Principal = PKR 15000 Therefore, the principal amount borrowed by Kajol was PKR 15000.

If half the range of increasing series {11, A, 23, B, C, 68, 73} is equal to its median, what is the median of the series?

Let's analyze the given series: {11, A, 23, B, C, 68, 73}. The median of a series is the middle value when the values are arranged in ascending order. In this case, the series is already in increasing order: {11, A, 23, B, C, 68, 73} Now, if half the range is equal to the median, we need to find the range and divide it by 2. Range = Largest value - Smallest value In this series, the largest value is 73, and the smallest value is 11. Range = 73 - 11 = 62 Half the range = 62 / 2 = 31 Now, we need to find the element in the series that is 31 units away from the smallest value (11). Counting 31 units from 11, we get: 11 + 31 = 42 So, the element with the value 42 is the median of the series. Therefore, the median of the series {11, A, 23, B, C, 68, 73} is 42.

A rectangular garden has a length that is 4 meters longer than its width. If the perimeter of the garden is 40 meters, what is the area of the garden in square meters?

Let the width of the garden be w w meters. Then, the length can be expressed as w + 4 w+4 meters. The formula for the perimeter P P of a rectangle is given by: P = 2 ( length + width ) = 40 P=2(length+width)=40 Substituting the expressions for length and width: 2 ( ( w + 4 ) + w ) = 40 2((w+4)+w)=40 Simplifying this equation: 2 ( 2 w + 4 ) = 40 4 w + 8 = 40 4 w = 32 w = 8 2(2w+4)=40 4w+8=40 4w=32 w=8 Now, substituting back to find the length: length = w + 4 = 8 + 4 = 12 length=w+4=8+4=12 The area A A of the garden is given by: A = length × width = 12 × 8 = 96 A=length×width=12×8=96 Thus, the area of the garden is 100 square meters.
