The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to address both Quantity I and Quantity II separately. ### Quantity I: An ore contains `24%`, `40%`, and `36%` of Copper, Zinc, and Tin respectively. We need to find out how many kg of ore is required to extract `260 kg` of Zinc. 1. **Understanding the Composition**: The ore contains `40%` Zinc. This means that in `100 kg` of ore, there are `40 kg` of Zinc. 2. **Setting Up the Equation**: Let the total weight of the ore be `x kg`. Since `40%` of the ore is Zinc, we can express the amount of Zinc in terms of `x`: \[ \text{Zinc in } x \text{ kg of ore} = 0.40 \times x \] 3. **Setting Up the Equation for Zinc**: We want this amount to equal `260 kg`: \[ 0.40x = 260 \] 4. **Solving for x**: To find `x`, we can rearrange the equation: \[ x = \frac{260}{0.40} \] \[ x = \frac{260 \times 100}{40} = \frac{26000}{40} = 650 \text{ kg} \] ### Quantity II: We need to find the difference between compound interest and simple interest for an amount of `15000` at the rate of `8%` for `2 years`. 1. **Calculating Simple Interest (SI)**: The formula for Simple Interest is: \[ \text{SI} = P \times r \times t \] Where: - \( P = 15000 \) - \( r = \frac{8}{100} = 0.08 \) - \( t = 2 \) Plugging in the values: \[ \text{SI} = 15000 \times 0.08 \times 2 = 2400 \] 2. **Calculating Compound Interest (CI)**: The formula for Compound Interest is: \[ \text{CI} = P \left(1 + r\right)^t - P \] Plugging in the values: \[ \text{CI} = 15000 \left(1 + 0.08\right)^2 - 15000 \] \[ = 15000 \left(1.08\right)^2 - 15000 \] \[ = 15000 \times 1.1664 - 15000 \] \[ = 17496 - 15000 = 2496 \] 3. **Finding the Difference**: Now, we find the difference between CI and SI: \[ \text{Difference} = \text{CI} - \text{SI} = 2496 - 2400 = 96 \] ### Conclusion: - Quantity I: 650 kg of ore is required to extract 260 kg of Zinc. - Quantity II: The difference between compound interest and simple interest is 96. ### Final Comparison: Since `650 kg` (Quantity I) is greater than `96` (Quantity II), we conclude that Quantity I is greater than Quantity II.
