A certain sum amounts to Rs.7350 in 2 years and to Rs.8575 in 3 years.find the sum and rate percent
Options- A. 3400
- B. 4400
- C. 5400
- D. 6400
- Correct Answer
- 5400
ExplanationInterest for 1 year is the same whether it's simple interest or the compound interest.
Now interest of third year = 8575 - 7350 = 1225; means principal for this interest is 7350 if comound interest is takenIf 7350 is the principal interest = 1225
if 100 is the principal interest =(1225/7350) * 100 = 50/3 %
When a thing increases for two successive times the overall increase on initial amount = a + b + (a * b)/100
Therefore overall interest for two years = 50/3 + 50/3 + [(50/3)*(50/3)]/100 = 325/9 %
Therefore amount after 2 years = 100 + 325/9 = 1225/9
If 1225/9 is the amount principal =100
if 7350 is the amount principal =(900/1225)*7350 =5400
So sum = 5400; Rate = 50/3 %

Explanation:
Correct Answer: 1
Explanation:
Given Exp. = 4 / 7 + {(2q - p) / (2q + p)}
Dividing numerator as well as denominator by q,
Exp = 4/7 + {2-p/q) / (2 + p/q)}
= 4/7 + {(2 - 4/5) / (2 + 4/5)}
= 4/7 + 6/14
= 4/7 + 3/7
=7/7

Correct Answer: 10%
Explanation:
Let N% of 2/7 is 1/35
? (2/7 x N) / 100 = 1/35

Correct Answer: ? 2400
Explanation:
Let the money interest at 8% interest be ? P .
Then, the money interest at 10% interest = ?(4000 - P)
According to the question,
(P x 8 x 1)/100 + [(4000 - P) x 10 x 1]/100 = 352
? 8P + 40000 - 10P = 35200
? 40000 - 35200 = 2P
? P = 4800/2 = ? 2400
