Correct Answer: 1%
Explanation:
Let the two rates be R1 and R2
According to the question,
[(1000 x 2 x R1)/100] - [(1000 x 2 x R2)/100] = 20
? [2000 x (R1 - R2)] / 100 = 20
? R1 - R2 = 20/20 = 1%
Correct Answer: 54 yr
Explanation:
Here, n = 2, m =10, T1 = 6 yr, T2 = ?
? T2 = [(m - 1) / (n - 1)] x T1
= [(10 - 1)/(2 - 1)] x 6
= 54 yr
Correct Answer: 11%
Explanation:
SI at 5% = 6P - P = 5P
? 5P = (P x 5 x T) /100
? T = 100 yr
Now, for new rate (R),
11P = (P x R x 100)/100
? R =11%
Correct Answer: ? 700
Explanation:
According to the question
[P x (R + 2) x 4]/100 - [P x R x 4]/100 = 56
? (4PR + 8P - 4PR)/100 = 56
? 8P/100 = 56
? P = (56 x 100)/8 = ? 700
Correct Answer: ? 1000
Explanation:
Given, SI1 - SI2 = 110,
T1 = 2 Yr,
T2 = 1 yr, R1 = 8%, R2 = 5%
According to the question,
[(P x 8 x 2)/100] - [(P x 5 x 1)/100] = 110
? 11P/100 = 110
? P = ? 1000
Correct Answer: ? 500
Explanation:
Let entire sum = P
According to the question,
[(2P/3) x 3%] + [(P/6) x 6%] + [1 - ( 2/3 + 1/6 )] P x 12% = 25
? [(2P/3) x (3/100)] + [(P/6) x (6/100)] + [1 - 4 + 1/6] x (12P/100) = 25
? 2P/100 + P/100 + 2P/100 = 25
? 5P = 2500,
? P = 500
Correct Answer: 162/3 yr
Explanation:
Given, R1 = 6% R2 = 10%
According to the question,
800 + [(800 x 6 x T)/100] = 600 + [(600 x 10 x T)/100]
800 + 48T = 600 + 60T
? 12T = 200
? 3T = 50
? T = 50/3 = 162/3 yr
Correct Answer: ? 936 ? 585
Explanation:
Given, T1 = 5 yr, R1 = 10% and
T2 = 10 yr, R2 = 8%
Let the first part = P
Then, second part = (1521 - P)
Now, according to the question.
[(P x 5 x 10)/100] = [{(1521 - P) x 10 x 8}/100]
? 5P = 12168 - 8P
? 13P = 12168
? P = ? 936
So second part = 1521 - 936 = ? 585
Correct Answer: 44/9%
Explanation:
Given. T1 = 2 yr and T2 = 4 yr,
P1 = 600, P2 = 150.
According to the question,
SI1 + SI2 = 80
[(600 x R x 2)/100] + [(150 x R x 4)/100] = 80
? 120R + 60R = 800
? 180R = 800
? R = 800/180 = 80/18 = 40/9
= 44/9%
Correct Answer: 5/6%
Explanation:
Let the principal be P.
Then, according to the question,
(P x T x T) / 100 = P/144 [? time and rate are equal]
? T2 = 100/144
? T = 10/12 = 5/6 %
