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
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: 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: 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: 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: 5%
Explanation:
Let sum = P, then SI = P and Time = 20 years
? Required rate = (100 x SI)/(P x T) = (100 x P) / (P x 20) = 5% per annum
Correct Answer: Rs. 100
Explanation:
Let the annual installment be Rs. P
Then, [P + (P x 4 x 8)/100] + [P + (P x 3 x 8) / 100] + [P + (P x 2 x 8)/100 ] + [ P + (P x 1 x 8)/100] + P = 580
? 33P/25 + 31P/25 + 29P/25 + 27P/25 + P = 580
? (120 + 25)P = 580 x 25
? P = 100
Correct Answer: 6
Explanation:
? Rate = [(interest x 100) / (Principal x Time) ] %
? Rate = (2700 x 100) / (15000 x 3) %
? Rate = 6%
Correct Answer: 6
Explanation:
Rate = [(interest x 100) / (Principal x Time)] %
= (3600 x 100) / (12000 x 5)
= 6 %
Correct Answer: 5%
Explanation:
Let the principal = Rs. P
? Amount = Rs. 2P
? Interest = 2P - P = Rs.P
? Rate = (interest x 100) / (Principal x 20) = (P x 100) / (P x 20) = 5%
