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.2522
Explanation:
Principal = Rs.16,000;
Time=9 months = 3 quarters;
Amount
=Rs.[16000x(1+5/100)³] =[16000x21/20x21/20x21/20]
= Rs.18522.
C.I
= Rs.(18522 - 16000)
= Rs.2522.
Correct Answer: 7%
Correct Answer: Rs 4158
Correct Answer: 8000
Correct Answer: Either I or II alone sufficient to answer
Correct Answer: Rs.51.25
Explanation:
Sum = Rs.(50*100)/2*5=Rs.500
Amount=Rs.[500*(1+5/100)2]
= Rs. 551.25
C.I = Rs.(551.25-500)= Rs.51.25
Correct Answer: Rs.3
Explanation:
S.I. = Rs.(1200*10*1)/100=rs.120
C.I. =rs[1200*(1+5/100)2-1200]=rs.123
Difference = Rs.(123-120) =Rs.3
Correct Answer: Rs.16400
Correct Answer: Both I and II are necessary to answer
Explanation:
Given: T = 3 years.
I. gives: R = 8% p.a.
II. gives: S.I. = Rs. 1200.
Thus, P = Rs. 5000, R = 8% p.a. and T = 3 years.
Difference between C.I. and S.I. may be obtained.
So, the correct answer is (D).
