sum of money for 2 years at 4% per annum is Rs. 0.0016. The sum in (Rs) is ___.

8. Cost of raw material of a product increases by 50%, the manufacturing cost increases by 30%
and the selling price of the product increases by 70%.The raw material and the manufacturing
cost ,originally, formed 40 and 60 of the total cost respectively. If the original profit was one-
fifth the original manufacturing cost, find the approximation new profit percentage.

9. The Board of Directors of the Lejon Etymological Museum imposed a 50-cent admission
charge in order to reduce the Museum's deficit. Attendance remained stable and there was no
protest from the public, so, six months later, the Museum announced that the admission price
would go up to $1.50.
It can be inferred that, in increasing the admission charge to $1.50, the Board of Directors
assumed that:
(A) People did not protest the initial charge because they felt it was necessary to keep the
Museum in operation.
(B) Since people did not protest the initial charge, they will also accept the raised price.
(C) Since $1.50 is three times the original charge, it is probable that attendance will drop as
the public protests the increase.
(D) The increased revenue from admissions will enable the Museum to expand its operations.

10. In the question below three statements are given followed by three conclusions numbered I, II,
and III. You have to assume everything in the statement to be true, then consider the three
conclusions together and decide which of them logically follows beyond a reasonable doubt
from the information given in the statement.
Statements: Some books are chairs.
Some chairs are pens
All the pens are pencils.
Conclusions: I. Some pencils are chairs.
II. At least some pens are books.
III. No pen is book.
