Depreciation 

It is the gradual exhaustion of the usefulness of a property. This may be defined as the decrease or loss in the value of a property due to structural deterioration, life wear and tear, decay, and obsolescence.

a) Straight-line method

b) Constant percentage method

c) Sinking fund method

  • Straight line method: It is the simplest method of depreciation. In this method it is assumed that the book value of an asset will decrease by same amount every year over the useful life till its salvage value is reached. In other words, the book value of the asset decreases at a linear rate with the time period.
  • Constant percentage method: In this method, it is assumed that the property will lose its value by a constant percentage of its value at the beginning of every year.
  • Sinking Fund Method: In this method, the depreciation of a property is assumed to be equal to the annual sinking fund plus the interest on the fund for that year, which is supposed to be invested on interest bearing investment.

What should come in place of the question mark '?' in the following number series?2, 5, 11, 20, ?, 47, 651. 322. 223. 424. 245. 36

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 32

Calculation

The series follows following pattern

2 + (1 × 3) = 5

5 + (2 × 3) = 11

11 + (3 × 3) = 20

20 + (4 × 3) = 32

32 + (5 × 3) = 47

47 + (6 × 3) = 65

∴ The value of ? is 32
43.

For real numbers x and y, we write xRy ⇒ x – y + √2 is an irrational number. Then the relation R is1) Reflexive2) Symmetric3) Transitive4) None of these

Answer»

For each value of x ∈ R, x − x + √2 that is √2 is an irrational number.

It is reflexive.

Let x = √2 and y =2 then x − y + √2 = 2√2 – 2 which is irrational but when y = √2 and x = 2, x − y = √2 is not irrational.

It is not symmetric.

Let x − y + √2 is irrational & y − z + √2 is irrational then in above case let x = 1; y = √2 × 2 & z = 2

Hence x − z + √2 is not irrational, so, the relation is not transitive.

A and B are working on an assignment. A takes 6 hours to type 32 pages on a computer, while B takes 5 hours to type 40 pages. How much time will they take, working together simultaneously, on two different computers to type an assignment of 110 pages?1. 34 hours2. 16 hours3. 27 hours4. 28 hours

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 34 hours

Given:

A takes 6 hours to type 32 pages on a computer.

B takes 5 hours to type 40 pages.

Calculations: 

Typing speed of A = 32/6 = (16/3) pages/hour

Typing speed of B = 40/5 = 8 pages/hour

So, the number of hours needed for typing 1 page by them

= (3/16) + (1/8) = 5/16

Hence, the time taken to type 110 pages by them working together simultaneously is obtained as:

⇒ (5/16) × 110 = 34.375 hours ≈ 34 hours

∴ They will take 34 hours, when working together simultaneously.

45.

If (1,λ), (3,−2)  and (−3,16) are collinear. Find the value of λ

Answer»

Let A(1,λ), B(3,-2), C(-3,16) be the vertices of abc, then the area of the triangle formed by them would be zero. 

⇒ 0 = \(\frac{ 1}{2}|(x_1(y_2-y_3)+x_2(y_3-y_1)+x_3(y_1-y_2))| \)

 0 = 1(-2-16) + 3(16 - λ) + -3(λ + 2)

 0 = -18 + 48 - 6 - 3λ - 3λ

∴ 6λ = 24 ∴ λ = 4

The zeroes of the polynomial p(x) = x2 – 3x – 4 will be(a) 1 (b) – 2 (c) 2 (d) – 1

Answer»

Correct option (d) – 1

Explanation:

Given polynomial P(x) = x2 – 3x – 4

 P(x) = x2 – 3x – 4

= x2 – 4x + x – 4

= x (x – 4) + 1 (x – 4)

= (x – 4) (x + 1)

Zeroes = – 1 , 4
