The compound interest on a sum of money for 2 years is rs.832 and the simple interest on the same sum for the same period is rs.800 .the difference between the compound interest and simple interest for 3 years
Options- A. Rs.48
- B. Rs.66.56
- C. Rs.98.56
- D. None of these
- Correct Answer
- Rs.98.56
Explanationdifference in C.I and S.I in 2years =Rs.32
S.I for 1year =Rs.400
S.I for Rs.400 for one year =Rs.32
rate=[100*32)/(400*1)%=8%
difference between in C.I and S.I for 3rd year
=S.I on Rs.832= Rs.(832*8*1)/100=Rs.66.56

Correct Answer: 5:6
Explanation:
Correct Answer: 2522
Explanation:
Principal = Rs. 16000; Time = 9 months =3 quarters;
Rate = 20% per annum = 5% per quarter.
Amount = Rs. [16000 x (1+(5/100))3] = Rs. 18522.
CJ. = Rs. (18522 - 16000) = Rs. 2522
Correct Answer: 5400
Explanation:
Interest 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 %
Correct Answer: 1261
Explanation:
Clearly, Rate = 5% p.a., Time = 3 years, S.I.= Rs. 1200. . .
So principal=RS [100*1200]/3*5=RS 8000
Amount = Rs. 8000 x [1 +5/100]^3 - = Rs. 9261.
.. C.I. = Rs. (9261 - 8000) = Rs. 1261.
Correct Answer: Rs.8000
Explanation:
Compound Interest on P at 10% for 2 years when interest is compounded half-yearly
=
Simple Interest on P at 10% for 2 years =
Given that difference between compound interest and simple interest = 124.05
=>
P=8000
Correct Answer: 3years
Explanation:
Principal = Rs. 1000; Amount = Rs. 1331; Rate = 10% p.a. Let the time be n years. Then,
[ 1000 (1+ (10/100))^n ] = 1331 or (11/10)^n = (1331/1000) = (11/10)^3
n = 3 years
Correct Answer: Rs.3972
Explanation:
Let P = Rs. 100. Then, S.I. Rs. 60 and T = 6 years.
R= =10% p.a
Now, P = Rs. 12000. T = 3 years and R = 10% p.a.
C.I=
=Rs.3972
Correct Answer: 11%
Explanation:
Difference in C.I and S.I for 2 years
= Rs(696.30-660)
=Rs. 36.30.
S.I for one years = Rs330.
S.I on Rs.330 for 1 year =Rs. 36.30
Rate
= (100x36.30/330x1)%
= 11%
Correct Answer: Rs. 1400
Explanation:
We know thatThe Difference between Compound Interest and Simple Interest for n years at R rate of interest is given by
Here n = 2 years, R = 20%, C.I - S.I = 56
Correct Answer: Rs.3
Explanation:
S.I
= Rs.(1200x10x1/100)
= Rs.120.
C.I
= Rs[(1200x1+5/100)² -1200]
= Rs.123.
Difference
= Rs.[123-120]
= Rs. 3.
