- Correct Answer

ExplanationSI = 26350 - 21250 = ? 5100
? Rate = (SI x 100) / (Principal x Time)
= (5100 x 100) / (21250 x 6)
= 4% - 1. At what rate per annum will the simple interest on a certain sum of money be 1/5 of the amount in 10 yr?

Correct Answer: 2%
Explanation:
Let sum = P, then SI = P/5 time = 10 yr.
? Rate = (100 x P)/(P x 5 x 10) = 2%
Correct Answer: 0.5%
Explanation:
Given, SI2 = 60, SI1 = 30, T1 = 4 yr, T2 = 8 yr
According to the question,
[(1500 x R x 8)/100] - [(1500 x R x 4)/100] = 60 - 30
? (6000 x R)/100 = 30
? R = 30/60 = 1/2 = 0.5%
Correct Answer: 10 yr
Explanation:
Here, n = 3, m = 2, T1 = 20 yr
? T2 = [(m -1) / (n - 1)] x T1
= (2 - 1) / (3 - 1) x 20 = 10 yr
Correct Answer: 4%
Explanation:
Given, T1 = 21/2 yr, T2 = 4 Yr
According to the question.
[P + (P x R x 4)/100] - [P + (P x R x 2.5)/100] = 1067.20 - 1012 = 55.2
? (1.5 x P x R)/100 = 55.2
? PR = (552 x 100) / 15 = 3680
For 4 yr.
SI = PRT/100 = (3680 x 4)/100 = ? 147.2
? Sum (P) = 1067.2 - 147.2 = ? 920
We have, PR = 3680
? R = 3680/P = 3680/920 = 4%
Correct Answer: 462/3%
Explanation:
Let sum = p
Then, after 15 yr
Sum = 8p
? SI = 8p - P = 7P
Now, 7P = (P x R x 15)/100
? 7 = 15R/100 = 3R/20
? R = (20 x 7)/3 = 140/3
= 462/3%
Correct Answer: 10%
Explanation:
Since, the two simple interest are equal.
Then, (4000 x 3 x R)/100 = (5000 x 12 x 2)/100
? R = 10%
Correct Answer: ? 35
Explanation:
If the sum be ? P, then
(2240 - P) = (P x 4 x 3)/100
? 2240 = 12P/100 + P
? 2240 = 112P/100
? P = (2240 x 100)/112 = ? 2000
Now, required interest,
SI = PRT/100 = [{2000 x (7/2) x (1/2)} /100]
= ? 35
Correct Answer: Data is inadequate
Explanation:
Let the sum be P.
? SI = P/2
? P/2 = (P x 9 x 5)/100
Clearly data is inadequate.
Correct Answer: Data is inadequate
Explanation:
Let sum = P
Then, according to the question.
SI = P/2
? P/2 = (P x 8 x 6)/100
? It is clear that data is inadequate.
Correct Answer: Rs 5000
Explanation:
Let the sum be P.
And the original rate be y% per annum.
Then new rate=(y+3)% per annum
According to question, [(P × (y+3) × 2)/100]=[(P × y × 2)/100]=300
? [(Py + 3P)/100]=[Py/100] = 150
? Py+ 3P - Py=15000
? 3P=15000
? P= 5000
Thus, the sum is Rs 5000
