- Question
- If the different between the compound interest and the simple interest on a certain sum for 2 yr at 8% per annum is ? 32, then the sum is
Options- A. ? 5000
- B. ? 5550
- C. ? 6000
- D. ? 5250
- Correct Answer
- ? 5000
ExplanationGiven, R = 8%, D = ? 32 and P = ?
By formula, D = P(R/100)2
? 32 = P(8/100)2
? P = 32 x [(100 x 100)/(8 x 8)]
= ? 5000 - 1. The population of a country is 100 crore and it is the possibility that the population will become 13.31 crore in 3 yr. What will be the annual rate percent on this growth?

Correct Answer: 10%
Explanation:
Given, P = 10 crore
and population after 3 yr = 13.31 crore
According to the formula,
Population after n yr = P (1 + R/100 )n
? 13.31 = 10 (1 + R/100 )3
? 1331/1000 = (1 + R/100 )3
? (11/10)3 = (1 + R/100 )3
? 1 + R/100 = 11/10
? R/100 = 11/10 - 1 = 1/10
? R = 10%
Correct Answer: ? 570
Explanation:
Given, P = ? 9375, R1 = 2% and R2 = 4%
According to the formula,
A = P (1 + R1/100) (1 + R2/100)
= 9375 (1 + 2/100) (1 + 4/100)
= 9375 x (51/50) x (26/25)
= 7.5 x 51 x 26
= ? 9945
Now CI = A - P = 9945 - 9375 = ? 570
Correct Answer: ? 5000
Explanation:
Let the principal be ? P.
Amount after first year = (P x 104)/100 and
amount after second year P x (104/100) x (4/100)
According to the question.
(P x 104 x 4)/(100 x 100) = 208
? P = ? 5000
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
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:
Let the amount be ? P
R = 5%, n = 2 yr and CI ? 410
By formula, CI = P [ (1 + R/100)n - 1 ]
? 410 = P [ (1 + 5/100)2 - 1]
? 410 = P [ (1 + 1/20)2 - 1]
? 410 = P [ (21/20)2 - 1]
? 410 = P [ 441/400 - 1 ]
? 410 = P [(441 - 400) /400] = P x 41/400
? P = (410 x 400)/41
? P = ? 4000
Correct Answer: 200%
Explanation:
Let sum = P
and given that n = 3 yr
According to the question,
Amount = 27 P
According to the formula,
Amount = P (1 + R/100)n
? 27 P = P (1 + R/100)3
? 27 = (1 + R/100)3
? (1 + R/100)3 = (3)3
? 1 + R/100 = 3
? R/100 = 3 - 1 = 2
? R = 200%
Correct Answer: 2 years
Explanation:
? 30000 x (1 +7/100)t = 30000 + 4347
? (107/100)t = 34347/30000
?11449/10000 = (107/100)2
? Time = 2 years
Correct Answer: Rs. 4.40
Explanation:
C.I. when reckoned half yearly
= Rs.[800 x (1 + 10/100)2 - 800]
= Rs. 168
C.I.when reckoned quarterly
= Rs.800[(1 + 5/100)4 - 1]
= 800[(194481 - 160000)/160000]
= 34481/200
= Rs.172.40
? Required difference =Rs.(172.40 - 168)
= Rs.4.40
Correct Answer: Rs. 2929
Explanation:
C.I. = Rs[20480 x(1 +25/4 x 100)2 (1 + 1/5 x 25/4 x 100) - 20480 ]
= Rs.[(20480 x 17/16 x 17/16 x 81/80) - 20480]
= 20480[23409 - 20480/20480]
= Rs .2929
