- Question
- What annual payment will discharge a debt of ? 1696 in yr at 4% per annum?
Options- A. ? 525
- B. ? 425
- C. ? 325
- D. ? 400
- Correct Answer
- ? 400
ExplanationGiven, debt (p) = ? 1696, R = 4% T = 4 yr
According to the formula,
Annual payment = 100P / [100 x T + {RT (T - 1)/2}]
= (1696 x 100) / [4 x 100 + {(4 x 3 x 4)/2}]
= (1696 x 100) / 424
= ? 400 - 1. What annual payment will discharge a debt of ? 1092 due in 2 yr at 12% simple interest?

Correct Answer: ? 515
Explanation:
According to the formula,
Annual payment = 100P / [100 x T + {RT (T - 1)/2}]
= (1092 x 100) / [100 x 2 + {24 (2 - 1)/2}]
= (1092 x 100)/2012
= ? 515.09
? ? 515
Correct Answer: ? 880
Explanation:
Given, annual payment = ? 160
R = 5% T = 5 yr debt (p) = ?
According to the formula.
Annual payment = 100P / [100 x T + {RT (T - 1)/2}]
?160 = 100P / [5 x 100 + {(5 x 4 x 5)/2}]
? 160 = 100P/550
? P = (550 x 160) / 100
= 55 x 16 = ? 880
Correct Answer: ? 200/3
Explanation:
According to the question,
[P + (P x R x T)/100] - [P + (P x 4 x T)/100] = 400 - 200
? (6 x PT) / 100 = 200
? PT = (200 x 100)/6 = 10000/3
Again, for 10% rate,
SI= (P x 10 x T)/100 = (10000/3) x (10/100) = 1000/3
? Sum(P) = 400 - (1000/3) = (1200 - 1000/3
= ? 200/3
Correct Answer: ? 400
Explanation:
Given, T1 = 5/2, R1= 12% T2= 7/2 yr and R2 = 10%
Let the sum be P.
Then, [(P x 10 x 7)/(100 x 2)] - [(P x 12 x 5)/(100 x 2)] = 20
? (7P/20) - (3P/10) = 20
? P = 20 x 20 = ? 400
Correct Answer: ? 120 and 662/3 yr
Explanation:
According to the question.
([P + (P x 6 x T)/100] - [P + (P x 1 x T)/100] = 600 - 200
? 5PT/100 = 400
? PT = 8000
Again, for 6% rate,
SI = PTR/100 = (8000 x 6)/100 = ? 480
? Sum = 600 - 480 = ? 120
As we have, PT = 8000
? T = 8000/120 = 200/3 = 662/3 yr
Correct Answer: ? 29100
Explanation:
Give, time = 42 months.
= (42/12) yr = 31/2 yr
= 7 half - yr,
rate = 13/2% half - yearly
SI = (20000 x 13 x 7)/(100 x 2) = ? 9100
? Amount (A) = 20000 + 9100
= ? 29100
Correct Answer: ? 900
Explanation:
Given, A1 = ? 1350, A2 =? 1620
T1 = 5 yr and T2 = 8 yr
Let principal amount be ? P.
? In time = 8 - 5 = 3 yr
Simple interest will be
1620 - 1350 = ? 270
? R = [(A2 - A1 ) x 100] / [A1 T2 - A2 T1]
= [(1620 - 1350) x 100] / [(1350 x 8) - (1620 X 5)]
= (270 x 100)/[10800 - 8100]
= 27000/2700
? R = 10%
? P = (SI x 100) / (R x T)
= (270 x 100) / (10 x 3)
= ? 900
Correct Answer: 4 yr
Explanation:
Amount = ? 8000
Time (T) = 4 yr; Principal (P) = ? 6000
Simple interest (SI) = (A - P)
= Amount - Principal
= 8000 - 6000 = ? 2000
Rate (R) = ?
According to the formula. SI = (P x R x T)/100
? 2000 = (6000 x R x 4)
? R = (6000 x 100)/(6000 x 4) = (25/3) %
Now, again Amount (A) = ? 700
Principle (P) = ? 525, Time (T) = ?
Rate (R) = 25/3%
Simple interest = A - P
? 700 - 525 = ? 175
Using formula, SI = (P x R x T) / 100
? 175 = [525 x (25/3) x T] / 100
? T = (175 x 100 x 3) / (525 x 25)
= 4 yr
Correct Answer: ? 800
Explanation:
By formula, P = (A2T1 - A1T2) / (T1 - T2)
Here, A1 = ? 944, T1 = 3
A2 = ? 1040, T2 = 5
? P = [(1040 x 3) - (944 x 5)] / (3 - 5)
= (3120 - 4720) / (-2)
= (-1600) / (-2)
= ? 800
? Principal = ? 800
Correct Answer: 16 : 15
Explanation:
Let the sum lent at 5% = P
? Sum lent at 8% = (1550 - P)
Then, [(P x 5 x 4)/100] + [{(1550 - P) x 8 x 4}/100] = 400
? 20P - 32P + 1550 x 32 = 40000
? - 12P + 49600 = 40000
? - 12P = - 9600
? p = ? 800
Sum lent at 8% = 1550 - 800 = ? 750
? Required ratio = 800 : 750 = 16 : 15
