The difference between the compound interest and the simple interest accrued on an amount of Rs. 18,000 in 2 years was Rs. 405. What was the rate of interest p.c.p.a. ?

Correct Answer: 4 years

Explanation:

P 1 + 20 100 n > 2P 

 

 

 

Now, (6/5 x 6/5 x 6/5 x 6/5) > 2.

 

 

 

So, n = 4 years.

Correct Answer: 5%

Explanation:

C.I =  P 1 + r 100 t - 1

 

594.5 =  5800 1 + r 100 2 - 1

  594 . 5 5800 + 1 = 1 + r 100 2

 

r 100 = 1 . 05 - 1 = 0 . 05 = > r = 5 % .

Correct Answer: Rs. 704

Explanation:

We know that,

$$\begin{gathered} S . I . = PTR 100 \\ ? P = S . I x 100 T x R \\ And also , \\ C . I = P 1 + R 100 n - 1 \end{gathered}$$

From given data, P = Rs. 8625

Now, C.I  =  $$\begin{gathered} 8625 1 + 4 100 2 - 1 \\ = 8625 26 25 2 - 1 \\ = 8625 676 625 - 1 \\ = 8625 x 51 625 \\ C . I = Rs . 703 . 80 \end{gathered}$$

Correct Answer: 2.04

Explanation:

C.I. when interest
compounded yearly=rs.[5000*(1+4/100)(1+1/2*4/100)]

= Rs. 5304.

C.I. when interest is
compounded half-yearly=rs.5000(1+2/100)^3

= Rs. 5306.04
Difference = Rs. (5306.04 - 5304) = Rs. 2.04

Correct Answer: Rs. 441

Explanation:

Given principal amount = Rs. 8000

Time = 3yrs

Rate = 5%

C.I for 3 yrs =  $$\begin{gathered} 8000 x 105 100 x 105 100 x 105 100 - 8000 \\ = Rs . 1261 \end{gathered}$$

 

Now, C.I for 2 yrs =  $$\begin{gathered} 8000 x 105 100 x 105 100 \\ = Rs . 820 \end{gathered}$$

 

Hence, the required difference in C.I is 1261 - 820 = Rs. 441

Correct Answer: 5years

Explanation:

Rs.100 invested in compound interest becomes Rs.200 in 5 years.

The amount will double again in another 5 years.

i.e., the amount will become Rs.400 in another 5 years.

So, to earn another Rs.200 interest, it will take another 5 years.

Correct Answer: 1080

Explanation:

Let the sum be Rs. x. Then,

 

  C . I = x * 50 300 * 100 3 - x = 343 x 216 - x = 127 x 216 

 

? 127 x 216 = 1270 

 

x = 2160 

 

Thus, the sum is Rs. 2160

 

  S . I = R s . 2160 * 50 3 * 3 * 1 100 = R s 1080

Correct Answer: Rs.8820

Explanation:

Amount

=Rs.[8000x(1+5/100)²]

= Rs.[8000 x 21/20x21/20]

= Rs.8820. 

Correct Answer: Rs. 1901

Explanation:

P = Rs. 15225, n = 9 months = 3 quarters, R = 16% p.a. per quarter.

 

Amount =  15225 x 1 + 4 100 3

 

= (15225 x 26/25 x 26/25 x 26/25) = Rs. 17126.05

 

=> C.I. = 17126 - 15625 = Rs. 1901.05.

Correct Answer: 21 percent
