- Simple interest on ? 1680 for 4 yr at 7 1/ 2 per annum is equal to the simple interest on ? 1200 at 7% per annum for a certain period of time. Time period of time is?
Options- A. 7 yr
- B. 6 yr
- C. 51/3 yr
- D. 71/4 yr
- Correct Answer
- 6 yr
ExplanationLet the required period of time be T yr.
Then, (1680 x 4 x 15) /100 = (1200 x T x 7)/100
T = (1680 x 2 x 12)/(1200 x 7)
= 6 yr
Hence, the required time period is 6 yr. - 1. What sum of money lent out at simple interest will amount to ? 3400 in 3 yr at 1% per month?

Correct Answer: ? 2500
Explanation:
A = ? 3400 T = 3 yr , R = 1% per month = 12 % per annum Let the principle be ? P.
SI = (PTR/100) = (P x 3 x 12)/100 = ? 36P/100
A = (P + SI) = P + 36P/100 = ? 136P/100
? 136P/100 = 3400
? P = (3400 x 100)/136 = 2500
? Sum = ? 2500
Correct Answer: 12 yr 6 months
Explanation:
If interest is 40% of the principal then time = 5 years.
So, when interest would be equal to 100% of the principal time would be
= (100/40) x 5 years = 12.5 years
= 12 yr 6 months
Correct Answer: 9%
Explanation:
? [ (2000 x 8 x 1) /100] + [ (4000 x 15/2 x 1)/100] + [(1400 x 17/2 x 1) / 100] + [(2600 x R x 1)/100] = (10000 x 8.13 x 1) / 100
? 160 + 300 + 119 + 26R = 813
? 26R = 234
? R = 9%
Correct Answer: Rs. 1180
Explanation:
Let money lent at 12% Rs. P
Then, money lent at 121/2% = Rs. (2540 - P )
? (P x 12 x 1)/100 + {(2540 - P) x 25/2 x 1}/100 = 311.60
? 3P/25 + 2540 - P/8 = 311.60
? 24P + 25(2540 - P) = 200 x 311.60
? P = 63500 - 62320 = 1180
Correct Answer: Rs. 1200
Explanation:
Let the sum be Rs. P, SI = Rs. 600, Time = 10 years
? Rate (600 x 100) / (P x 10)%
S.I for first 5 years = Rs. (P x 5 x 6000)/(1000 x P) = Rs. 300
S.I for last 5 years = Rs. (3P x 5 x 6000)/(100 x P) = Rs. 900
Hence, total interest at the end of 10 years = 300 + 900 = Rs. 1200.
Correct Answer: 81/3%
Explanation:
Let the amount be P, then amount after 12 yr = 2 P
SI = 2P - P = P
SI = (P x R x T)/ 100
P = (P x R x 12)/ 100
? R = 100/12 = 81/3%
Correct Answer: ? 2400
Explanation:
Let the money interest at 8% interest be ? P .
Then, the money interest at 10% interest = ?(4000 - P)
According to the question,
(P x 8 x 1)/100 + [(4000 - P) x 10 x 1]/100 = 352
? 8P + 40000 - 10P = 35200
? 40000 - 35200 = 2P
? P = 4800/2 = ? 2400
Correct Answer: ? 1500
Explanation:
Let the extra money invested = ? P
According to the question .
(3000 x 5 x 1)/100 + (P x 8 x 1)/100 = [(3000 + P) x 6 x 1)]/100
? 15000 + 8P = 18000 + 6P
? 2P = 18000 - 15000
? P = 3000/2 = ? 1500
Correct Answer: ? 4000
Explanation:
Initially ,
let P = ? A, R = 13/2% per annum and T = 1yr
SI = PRT/100 = (A x 1 x 13/2)/100 = ? 13A/200
Now, new deposit = ? (A - 600), R = 11/2 % per annum and T = 1yr
SI = PTR/100 = [(A - 600) x 1 x 11/2)/100] = ? 11(A - 600)/200
By the given condition ,
13A/200 - 11(A - 600)/200 = 73
? 13A - 11(A - 600 ) = 200 x 73
? 2A = 200 x 73 - 600 x 11
? 2A = 14600 - 6600
? 2A = 8000
? A = 4000
Hence, the initial investment is ? 4000.
Correct Answer: ? 1300
Explanation:
Amount after 5 yr, 4200 + (4200 x 10 x 5)/100
= (4200 + 2100) = Rs 6300
? Cost of the cow = (6300 - 5000) = ? 1300
