Options- A. ? 840
- B. ? 932
- C. ? 520
- D. ? 640
- Correct Answer
- ? 640
ExplanationGiven, CI - SI = 16, R = 5%, n = 2 yr and SI = ?
According to the formula,
CI - SI = (SI x R)/200
? 16 = (SI x 5)/200
? 16 = SI/40

Correct Answer: 125/8
Explanation:
If sum is P, then P becomes 5P/2 in 6 yr.
5P/2 becomes 25P/4 in 12 yr.
25P/4 becomes 125P/8 in 18 yr.
The sum becomes 125/8 times in 18 yr.
Correct Answer: ? 72900
Explanation:
Given P = ? 100000, R = 10%, n = 3 yr
According to the formula,
Price of LCD TV set after 3 yr. = P(1 - R/100)n
= 100000 (1 - 10/100)3
= 100000(90/100)3
= 100000 x (9/10) x (9/10) x (9/10)
= ? 72900
Correct Answer: ? 484
Explanation:
According to the given condition.
441 = 400 (1 + R/100)2
? 441/400 = (1 + R/100)2
? (21/20)2 = (1 + R/100)2
? 21/20 = 1 + R/100
? (21/20) - 1 = R/100
? R/100 = 1/20
? R = 5%
? new rate = 5 + 5 = 10%
? Amount = 400 (1 + 10/100)2
= 400 x (11/10) x (11/10)
= ? 484
Correct Answer: 160000
Explanation:
Given, P = 185220 R = 5% (increases) and n = 3 yr
According to the formula,
Population n yr ago = P/(1 + R/100)n
= 185220/(1 + 5/100)3
= 185220/[(21/20) x (21/20) x (21/20)]
= [185220 x 20 x 20 x 20] / [21 x 21 x 21]
= 20 x 20 x 20 x 20
= 160000
Correct Answer: ? 3600
Explanation:
Let rate = R% and time = n yr
Then, 4320 = 3000(1+R/100)n
? (1+R/100)n = 4320/3000 = 1.44
? (1 + R/100)n/2 = ?1.44 = 1.2
? Required amount for n/2 yr
= 3000(1+ R/100)n/2
= 3000 x 1.2 = ? 3600
Correct Answer: ? 1000
Explanation:
Here, D = ?6.40, R = 8% and n = 2 yr
Then, according to the formula,
Difference between compound interest and simple interest
D = PR2 / 1002
? 6.40 = P x 64/10000
? P = ? 1000
Correct Answer: 12/3%
Explanation:
SI for on ? 12960 for 1 yr
= 13176 - 12960 = ? 216
By formula, SI = (P x R x T)/ 100
? 216 = (12960 x R x 1)/100
? R = 5/3 = 12/3
Correct Answer: 15%
Explanation:
Here, n = 2 yr, SI = ? 120 and CI = ? 129
CI = SI (1+ R/200)
? 129 = 120(1 + R/200)
? 129/120 = 1 + R/200
? (129/120) - 1 = R / 200
? 9/120 = R/200
? R = (9 x 200)/120 = 15%
Correct Answer: 81 cm
Explanation:
Percentage growth = (1/8) x 100 % = 12.5%
Height after 2 yr = 64 x (1+ 12.5/100)2
= 64 x (9/8) x (9/8) = 81 cm
Correct Answer: ? 4000
Explanation:
Here, CI - SI = 10, R = 5%, n = 2 yr and P = ?
According to the formula,
CI - SI = PR2/1002
? 10 = (P x 25)/10000
? P = (400 x 10) = ? 4000
