- Question
The population of a town was 3600 three years back. It is 4800 right now. What will be the population three years down the line, if the rate of growth of population has been constant over the years and has been compounding annually?
Options- A. Rs.600
- B. Rs,6400
- C. Rs.6500
- D. Rs.6600
- Correct Answer
- Rs,6400
ExplanationThe 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: 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.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: 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: 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.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: 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
Correct Answer: Rs.5624.32
