Correct Answer: 6.3
Explanation:
FV=P(1+r/n)^nt
Correct Answer: 40000
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: 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
Correct Answer: 12500
Correct Answer: 66%%
Explanation:
rate=r%
1200 (1+r/100)^2=1348.32
r=6%
