On a sum of money, the simple interest for 2 years is Rs. 660,while the compound interest is Rs.696.30,the rate of interest being the same in both the cases. The rate of interest is
Options- A. 10%
- B. 11%
- C. 12%
- D. 13%
- Correct Answer
- 11%
ExplanationDifference 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.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: 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.98.56
Explanation:
difference 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: 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.
Correct Answer: 612
Explanation:
Amount = Rs [7500*(1+(4/100)2] = Rs (7500 * (26/25) * (26/25) ) = Rs. 8112.
therefore, C.I. = Rs. (8112 - 7500) = Rs. 612.
Correct Answer: Rs,6400
Explanation:
The population grew from 3600 to 4800 in 3 years. That is a growth of 1200 on 3600 during three year span.
Therefore, the rate of growth for three years has been constant.
The rate of growth during the next three years will also be the same.
Therefore, the population will grow from 4800 by = 1600
Hence, the population three years from now will be 4800 + 1600 = 6400
Correct Answer: Rs.625
Explanation:
Let the two parts be Rs. x and Rs. (1301 - x).
=> 625x=676(1301-x)
1301x=676 x 1301x=676.
So,the parts are rs.676 and rs.(1301-676)i.e rs.676 and rs.625
