Correct Answer: Rs. 1000
Explanation:
? P (1 - 10/100)3 = 729
? P = Rs.(729 x 10 x 10 x 10)/(9 x 9 x 9) = Rs. 1000
Correct Answer: Rs. 1.50
Explanation:
S.I. = Rs. (600 x 5 x 2)/100 = Rs.60
C.I.= Rs. [600 x (1 + 5/100)2 - 600] = Rs. 61.50
? Requred Difference = Rs. (61.50 - 60) = Rs.1.50
Correct Answer: 61/4%
Explanation:
Clearly the difference between Rs. 578.40 and Rs.614.55 is the interest on Rs. 578.40 for 1 year.
? Interest on Rs. 578.40 for 1 year = Rs. 614.55 - Rs. 578.40 = Rs. 36.15
? Interest on Rs.100 for 1 year = Rs. (36.15 x 100)/578.40
= Rs. 3615/57840 x 100/1
= Rs. 6.25
= Rs. 61/4
? The required rate is .61/4 percent.
Correct Answer: 4 years
Explanation:
Here P(1 + 20/10)t > 2P
? (6/5)t > 2
? (6/5)3 = 1.728, and
(6/5)4 = 2.0736
By trial (6/5) x (6/5) x (6/5) x (6/5) > 2
? The required time is 4 years.
Correct Answer: Rs. 320
Explanation:
? 328 = Principal {(1 +5/100)2 - 1}
? 328 = Principal (441/400 - 1)
? 328 =Principal 41/400
? Principal = (328 x 400)/41 = Rs. 3200
? Simple interest = (3200 x 5 x 2) / 100 = Rs. 320
Correct Answer: Rs. 210
Explanation:
Principal = (P.W. of Rs. 121 due 1 year later) + (P.W. of Rs. 121 due 2 years later)
= Rs. [ 121 /(1 + 10/100) + (121 / (1 + 10/100)2]
= Rs. 210
Correct Answer: 192000
Explanation:
? 2P = P(1 +r/100)5
? (1 +r/100)5 = 2
? (1 + r/100)20 = 24 = 16
Thus, P(1 +r/100)20 = 16P
= Rs. (12000 x 16)
= Rs. 192000
Correct Answer: ? 1890
Explanation:
Principle = ? 1089
? P/{(1 + 10/100) + (1 + 10/100)2 } = 1089
? P = {(1089 x 10/11) + (1089 x 100/121)} = (990 + 900) = ? 1890
Correct Answer: ? 8820
Explanation:
Given, P = ? 8000, R = 5% and n = 2 Yr
According to the formula,
Amount = p ( 1 + R / 100 )n
= 8000 ( 1 + 5/100 )2
= 8000 x (105/100)2
=8000 x (21/20) x (21/20)
= 20 x 21 x 21
= ? 8820
Correct Answer: ? 16537.50
Explanation:
Given P = ? 15000 , R = 10 %
and n = 1 yr
Accounting to the formula,
Amount = P(1 + R/(2 x 100))2n
= 15000 x (1 + 5/100 )2
= 15000 x (105/100 )2
= 15000 x (21/20) x (21/20)
= ? 16537.50
