Correct Answer: Rs 800
Explanation:
Correct Answer: None
Explanation:
Amount =
= 8000 x 21/20 x 21/20
= Rs. 8820
Correct Answer: Rs. 2000
Explanation:
Given,
Compound rate, R = 10% per annum
Time = 2 years
C.I = Rs. 420
Let P be the required principal.
A = (P+C.I)
Amount, A =
(P+C.I) =
(P+420) = P[11/10][11/10]
P-1.21P = -420
0.21P = 420
Hence, P = 420/0.21 = Rs. 2000
Correct Answer: 23.1
Explanation:
At first glance it might seem that this problem cannot be solved because we do not have enough
information. It can be solved as long as you double whatever amount you start with. If we start with
$100, then P = $100 and FV = $200.
FV=P(1+r/n)^nt
Correct Answer: II and Either I or III only
Explanation:
I. gives, Rate = 5% p.a.
II. gives, S.I. for 1 year = Rs. 600.
III. gives, sum = 10 x (S.I. for 2 years).
Now I, and II give the sum.
For this sum, C.I. and hence amount can be obtained.
Thus, III is redundant.
Again, II gives S.I. for 2 years = Rs. (600 x 2) = Rs. 1200.
Now, from III, Sum = Rs. (10 x 1200) = Rs . 12000.
Thus,Rate = =5%
Thus, C.I. for 2 years and therefore, amount can be obtained.
Thus, I is redundant.
Hence, I or III redundan
Correct Answer: 6.3
Explanation:
FV=P(1+r/n)^nt
Correct Answer: 3710.29
Explanation:
i=j/m
n =m(Term) = 2(15.5) =31
Fair market value Present value of the face value
=FV(1+ i)^-n
Correct Answer: 4336.93
Explanation:
i=j/m
Maturity value = PV(1 + i)^n
Term = 5 years - 21 months= 3.25 years
Price paid = FV(1+ i )^-n
Correct Answer: Rs. 3972
Explanation:
Let p = Rs. 100.
Then, S.I is Rs. 50 and time = 5 years.
= 10% p.a.
Now, p = Rs. 12,000 , T = 3 years and R = 10% p.a.
C.I. = Rs.
= Rs. 3972
Correct Answer: 20% p.a
Explanation:
Rs.1440 - 1200 = Rs.240 is the interest on Rs.1200 for one year.
Rate of interest = (100 x 240) / (1200) = 20% p.a
