- Question
- A sum at simple interest of 13 1/ 2% per annum amounts to ? 3080 in 4 yr Find the sum.
Options- A. ? 1550
- B. ? 1680
- C. ? 2000
- D. ? 1850
- Correct Answer
- ? 2000
ExplanationLet sum = P
Then, SI = (P x R x T)/100
= {P x (27/2) x 4} / 100
= {P x 54} / 100 = 27P / 50
? Amount = P + 27P / 50 = 77P/50
According to the question 77P/50 = 3080
? P = (3080 x 50)/77 = ? 2000 - 1. What will be simple interest for 1 yr and 4 months on a sum of ? 25800 at the rate of 14% per annum?

Correct Answer: ? 4816
Explanation:
Here, P = ? 25800, R = 14%
T = 1 yr 4 months = 1 + (4/12) years = 1 + (1/3) = 4/3 yr.
According to the formula,
SI = (P x R x T) / 100 = {25800 x 14 x (4/3)}/100
= (258 x 14 x 4)/3
= ? 4816
Correct Answer: ? 1837.50
Explanation:
Given, P = ? 8750., R = 7% T = 3 yr
According to the formula.
SI = (P x R x T)/100 = (8750 x 7 x 3)/100
= ? 1837.50
Correct Answer: ? 100
Explanation:
Here, P = ? 4000, R = 121/2% = 25 / 2%
T = (24 + 31 + 18) days = 73 days
= 73/365 yr = 1/5 yr
? SI = (P x R x T)/100 = (4000 x 25/2 x 1/5 )/100
= ? 100
Correct Answer:
Explanation:
Given, P = 18440, R = 15%, T = 4
? Simple interest (SI) = (P x R x T) / 100
= (4 x 18440 x 15) / 100
= ? 11064
Correct Answer: ? 4000
Explanation:
Let the principle be ? P .
Then,
(P x 1 x 5)/100 + (P x 1 x 6)/100 + (P x 1 x 8)/100 = 760
? 5P/100 + 6P/100 + 8P/100 = 760
? 19P = 760 x 100
? P = (760 x 100)/19 = ? 4000
Hence, the principle is ? 4000.
Correct Answer: ? 285
Explanation:
Given, t = 8 yr, r = 3.5%, A = ? 364.80
Let amount = ? P
Since, A =P [1 + (RT/100)]
? 364.80 = P[1 + (3.5 x 8)/100]
? 364.80 = P[ 1+ (35 x 8)/100]
? 3648/10 = P x (128/100)
? P = 3648/128
= ? 285
Correct Answer: 15%
Explanation:
Here, P = ? 2668, T = 5 yr, A = ? 4669
We know that,
Amount (A) = Principal (P) + (Simple Interest) SI
4669 = 2668 + SI
? SI = 4669 - 2668 = ? 2001
Again, SI = (P x R x T)/100
? 2001 = (2668 x R x 5)/100
? R= (2001 x 100) / (2668 x 5)
= (2001 x 5)/667
= 15%
Correct Answer: ? 800
Explanation:
The required difference in amount and principal is SI = A - P
Here, P = ? 4000, R = 5% T = 4 yr
According to the formula.
SI = (P x R x T) /100
= (4000 x 5 x 4)/100
= ? 800
Correct Answer: 10%
Explanation:
Here, n = 2, T = 10 yr
? R = 100 (n - 1)/T
= 100(2 - 1)/10
= 100/10
= 10%
Correct Answer: 10 yr
Explanation:
Let sum be P.
? 50% of P = P/2 = SI
Now, P/2 = (P x 5 x T) / 100 [ as time = 10 yr]
? P/2 = 5PT / 100
? 1/2 = T/20
? = T = 10 yr
