Correct Answer: 62500
Correct Answer: 20% p.a
Explanation:
Rs.1440 - 1200 = Rs.240 is the interest on Rs.1200 for one year.
Rate of interest = (100 x 240) / (1200) = 20% p.a
Correct Answer: Rs. 3972
Explanation:
Let p = Rs. 100.
Then, S.I is Rs. 50 and time = 5 years.
= 10% p.a.
Now, p = Rs. 12,000 , T = 3 years and R = 10% p.a.
C.I. = Rs.
= Rs. 3972
Correct Answer: 4336.93
Explanation:
i=j/m
Maturity value = PV(1 + i)^n
Term = 5 years - 21 months= 3.25 years
Price paid = FV(1+ i )^-n
Correct Answer: 3710.29
Explanation:
i=j/m
n =m(Term) = 2(15.5) =31
Fair market value Present value of the face value
=FV(1+ i)^-n
Correct Answer: 7 percent
Correct Answer: Rs. 8000
Correct Answer: Rs.612
Explanation:
Amount
= Rs[7500x(1+4/100)²]
=Rs.(7500 * 26/25 * 26/25)
=Rs.8112
C.I
= Rs(8112 - 7500)
=Rs.612
Correct Answer: Rs.1750
Explanation:
C.I. =Rs[4000x(1+10/100)²-4000]
Rs.(4000x11/10x11/10-4000) = Rs.940.
Sum
=Rs. [420 *100 /3 * 8]
= Rs.1750.
Correct Answer: 3years
Explanation:
Principal = Rs.1000;
Amount = Rs.1331;
Rate = Rs.10%p.a.
Let the time be n years.Then
[1000(1+10/100)?n;]
= 1331.
= (1331/1000)
= (11/10)³
Therefore n = 3 years.
