Options- A. 12% per annum
- B. 13% per annum
- C. 14% per annum
- D. 15% per annum
- Correct Answer
- 15% per annum
ExplanationS.I. for 1 year = Rs. (783 - 702) = Rs 81
S.I. for 2 years = Rs. (81 x 2) = Rs. 162

? Required rate = = (100 x SI) / (P x T) = (100 x 162) / (540 x 2) % = 15% - 1. The simple interest on a certain sum for 3 years at 14% per annum is Rs. 235.20. The sum is?

Correct Answer: Rs. 560
Explanation:
Required sum = Rs. (100 x SI ) / ( T x R )
= (100 x 235.20) / (3 x 14)
= Rs. 560
Correct Answer: Rs 50000
Explanation:
Rate of Interest = 12% per annum
Simple Interest =Rs 6000 per annum
Let 'P' is the principal
SI= (P x R x T)/100
where , SI= Simple Interest
T= Time
R= Rate
? 6000=(P x 1 x 12)/100
? P =(6000 x 100)/12
= Rs 50000
Hence the required amount is Rs 50000
Correct Answer: Rs 800
Explanation:
Simple Interest for 4 yr = Rs(1360 - 1040 ) = Rs 320
so, Simple Interest for 3 yr= Rs [(320/4) x 3]= Rs 240
Sum = Rs (1040-240)= Rs 800
Correct Answer: 8%
Explanation:
Let principal amount = P
As amount =3P, T=25 yr
? SI=3P-P=2P
? Rate R = (100 x SI)/(P x T)
where, SI= Simple Interest T = Time
= (100 x 2P)/(P x 25)=8%
Correct Answer: Rs 11000
Explanation:
Let the sum be 'y'
then, [(y x13 x 1)/100 ]- [( y x 12 x 1) / 100]=110
since ( y / 100 ) = Rs 110
? Y = Rs 11000
Correct Answer: Rs. 137.60
Explanation:
S.I on Rs. 64 for 2 year = Rs. 19.20
? Rate = (100 x SI) / (P x T) = (100 x 19.20) / (64 x 2) = 15%
? S.I On Rs. 86 for 4 year = (P x R x T) / 100 = Rs. (86 x 4 x 15 ) /100 = Rs.51.60
? Amount of Rs. 86 after 4 years = Rs. (86 + 51.60) = Rs. 137.60
Correct Answer: Rs. 625
Explanation:
S.I for 1 year = Rs. (925 - 850) = Rs. 75
S.I for 3 year = Rs. (75 x 3) = Rs. 225
? Sum = Rs. (850 - 225) = Rs. 625
Correct Answer: 131/3%
Explanation:
Let principal = P
Then, SI = 2P & Time = 15 years
? Required rate = (100 x SI) / (P x T) = (100 x 2P) / (P x 15) = 200/15 = 131/3 per annum
Correct Answer: 20 years
Explanation:
Let principal = P. Then, S. I = P. and Time = 10 years
? Required time = [(n - 1) x t] / (m - 1)
= [(3 - 1) x 10] / (2 - 1)
= 20 years
Correct Answer: Rs. 2000
Explanation:
S.I for 3 years = Rs. (2600 - 2240) = Rs . 360
S.I for 2 years = Rs. (360/3 x 2) = Rs. 240
? Required sum = Rs . (2240 - 240) = Rs. 2000
