Options- A. 7%
- B. 7.5%
- C. 6%
- D. 6.5%
- Correct Answer
- 6%
ExplanationLet the rate be R% per annum.
Then,
1200 x (1 + R/100)2 = 1348.32
? (1 + R/100)2 =1348.32/1200 = 1.1236 = (1.06)2
? (1 + R/100) =1.06
? R/100 = 0.06
? R = 6% - 1. Find the effective annual rate of 5 per cent per annum compound interest paid half yearly?

Correct Answer: 5.062%
Explanation:
The amount of Rs. 100 in one year at compound interest at 5% per annum payable half yearly.
= Rs. 100(1 + 5/2 /100)2
=Rs. 100(102.5/100)2
=Rs. 100(1.025)2
=Rs. 105.0625
Thus, the nominal rate of 5% payable half yearly has the same effect as the rate of 5.0625 per cent would have, if payable yearly.
Hence 5.0625 per cent is called the effective annual rate 5% per annum payable half yearly.
Correct Answer: 4 years
Explanation:
? P(1 + r/100)t = A
? 390625(1 + 4/100)t = 456976
? (1 + 4/100)t = 456976/390625 =(26/25)4
? (26/25)t = (26/25)4
? t = 4
? The required time is 4 years.
Correct Answer: 4.0604%
Explanation:
Effective annual rate = 100(1 + {(4/4) /100})4 - 100
= (101/100)4 x 100 - 100
= 104.0604 - 100
= 4.0604%
Correct Answer: 3/2 years
Explanation:
Since Interest accumulates half yearly so effective rate = R/2 = 4/2 = 2.
And effective time is 2t.
? 6250 [1 + 2/100]2t = 6632.55
? (1 +2/100)2t = 663255/625000 = 132651/125000 = (51/50)3
? (51/50)2t = (51/50)3
? 2t =3
? t = 3/2 years
Correct Answer: Rs. 2205
Explanation:
For the quarterly interest,
Time = (6/12) year x 4 = 2 quarterly
Rate = 20/4 = 5%
(? On quarterly interest time is multiplied by 4 and rate is divided by 4)
Hence,required amount = Principal (1 + Rate/100)Time
= 2000(1 +5/10)2
= 2000(21/20)2
= Rs. 2205
Correct Answer: ? 38400
Explanation:
2P = P (1 + R/100) 5
? 24 P = P(1 + R/100)20
? The amount becomes 24 times
= 16 times and required amount = 2400 x 16 = ? 38400
Correct Answer: 15%
Explanation:
Interest on ? 1440 = ? 216 for the third year
? Rate percentage = (216 x 100)/(1440 x 1) = 15 %
Correct Answer: ? 20246.40
Explanation:
Given, P = ? 50000, R = 12% and n = 3 Yr
According to the formula,
Amount = P (1 + R/100 )n
= 50000 (1 + 12/100 )3
= 50000 x (28/25) x (28/25) x (28/25)
= 16 x (28 x 28 x 28)/ 5 = 351232/5
= ? 70246.40
? CI = 702446.40 - 50000 = ? 20246.40
Correct Answer: ? 1250
Explanation:
Using the formula, A = p ( 1 + R/100 )n
? 1352 = p(1 + 4/100 )2
? 1352 = p(1.04 )2
? p = 1352/(1.04)2 = ? 1250
Correct Answer: ? 156.25
Explanation:
Given R = 4 %, n = 2 yr and A = ? 169.
P = ?
Amount = P(1 + R/100)n
? 169 = P(1 + 4/100 )2
? 169 = P(26/25)2
? P = 169 x (25 x 25)/(26 x 26)
? P = 105625 / 676
= ? 156.25
