The difference between the compound interest and simple interest on a certain sum at 10% per annum for 2 years is Rs. 631. Find the sum.
Options- A. 60100
- B. 61100
- C. 62100
- D. 63100
- Correct Answer
- 63100
ExplanationLet the sum be Rs. x. Then,
C.I. = x ( 1 + ( 10 /100 ))^2 - x = 21x / 100 ,
S.I. = (( x * 10 * 2) / 100) = x / 5
(C.I) - (S.I) = ((21x / 100 ) - (x / 5 )) = x / 100
( x / 100 ) = 632 * x = 63100.
Hence, the sum is Rs.63,100. - 1. The difference between simple and compound interest compounded annually on a certain sum of money for 2 years at 4% per annum is re.1. the sum is

Correct Answer: 625
Explanation:
sum=Rs.x
C.I=[x(1+4/100)^2-x]=(676/625x-x)=51/625
S.I=(x*4*2)/100=2x/25
x=625
Correct Answer: 15%
Explanation:
Let the rate be R% p.a. Then,
Rate = 15%.
Correct Answer: 3087
Explanation:
Shyam's share * (1+0.05)9 = Ram's share * (1 + 0.05)11
Shyam's share / Ram's share = (1 + 0.05)11 / (1+ 0.05)9 = (1+ 0.05)2 = 441/400
Therefore Shyam's share = (441/841) * 5887 = 3087
Correct Answer: Rs.10123.20
Explanation:
Amount
= Rs.(25000x(1+12/100)³
= Rs.(25000x28/25x28/25x28/25)
= Rs. 35123.20.
C.I = Rs(35123.20 -25000)
= Rs.10123.20
Correct Answer: 5%
Explanation:
Given compound interest for 3 years = Rs. 1513.2
and simple interest for 5 years = Rs. 2400
Now, we know that C.I =
=> 1513.2 = ...........(A)
And S.I = PTR/100
=> 2400 = P5R/100 ..................(B)
By solving (A) & (B), we get
R = 5%.
Correct Answer: 1125
Explanation:
Total amount for two years =
Now , interest for third year =
Correct Answer: 6
Explanation:
Let us assume Amount be 100 Rs and we calculate in CI
First year 60% of 100 = 60 amount (100+60) is 160
Second year 60% of 160 = 96 amount (160+96) is 256
Third year 60% of 256 =153.6 amount (256+153.6) is 409.6
Here the Amount of 100 Rs is quadrapled in 3 years.
One year contains 2 half years
Three year has 6 half years.
Therefore, It takes 6 half years.
Correct Answer: 5%
Explanation:
S.I. on Rs.800 for 1 year
=Rs[840 - 800]
= Rs.40
Rate
=(100x40/800x1)%
= 5%
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: 2400
Explanation:
S.I=PNR/100
