- The compound interest on a sum for 2 years is Rs. 832 and the simple interest on the same sum for the same period is Rs. 800. The difference between the compound and simple interest for 3 years will be?
Options- A. Rs .48
- B. Rs. 66.56
- C. Rs. 98.56
- D. None of these
- Correct Answer
- Rs. 98.56
ExplanationS.I. for first year = Rs. 400
S.I. on Rs .400 for 1 year =Rs. 32
? Rate = (interest x 100)/(principle x time) = (100 x 32)/(400 x 1) = 8%
Hence, the difference for 3rd year is S.I.on Rs. 832
= Rs.(832 x 8/100)
= Rs. 66.56
? Total difference = Rs.(32 + 66.56)
= Rs. 98.56 - 1. The difference in compound interest and simple interest for 2 years on a sum of money is Rs. 160. If the simple interest for 2 years be Rs. 2880, the rate per cent is?

Correct Answer: 111/9%
Explanation:
? S.I. for 1 year =Rs. 1440
? S.I. on Rs.1440 for 1 year = Rs.160
Hence, ? Rate per cent = (100 x 160) / (1440 x 1) %
= 100/9%
= 111/9%
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
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: 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: 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: Rs. 123.25
Explanation:
Balance = Rs.[{4000 x (1 x 15/2 x 100)3} - {1500 x (1 + 15/2 x 100)2 + 1500 x (1 + 15/2 x 100) + 1500}]
= Rs. 123.25
Correct Answer: Rs. 360
Explanation:
Let the value of each instalment be Rs. x
Then, {x/(1 + 20/100) + x/(1 + 20/100)2} = 550
? 5x / 6 + 25x / 36 =550
? 55x / 36 = 550
? x = 360
Correct Answer: Rs. 80
Explanation:
S.I. for 2 year = Rs. 40
S.I. for 1 year = Rs. 20
Rate = {(C.I. for 2 year - S.I. for 2 year) / (S.I. for 1 year)} x 100
= {(45 - 40) / 20} x 100 = 25%
? Principal = (S.I. x 100)/(Rate x Time)
= (40 x 100)/(25 x 2)
= Rs. 80
Correct Answer: Rs. 1324.05
Explanation:
Amount after 3 years = 400(1 + 5/100)3 + 400(1 + 5/100)2 + 400(1 + 5/100)
= 400(1+ 5/100) {1+ 5/100)2 + (1 + 5/100) + 1 }
= 400(105/100) {(105/100)2 + (105/100) + 1}
= 400(21/20) {(21/20)2 + 21/20 + 1}
= 400(441/400 + 21/20 + 1)
= 400(441 + 420 + 400/400)
= 420(1261/400)
= Rs.1324.05
Correct Answer: 6 years
Explanation:
Let the principle be P then amount be 3P
? 3P =P(1 + r/100)3
? 3 = (1 + r/100)3
On squaring on both the sides,
? (3)2 = {(1 + r/100)3}2
? 9 = (1 + r/100)6
Hence,it will become 9 times in 6 years.
