Correct Answer: Rs. 112.50
Explanation:
= Rs. (625 - 400)
= Rs. 225
Correct Answer: Rate = 8% and Time = 8 years.
Explanation:
Let sum = X. Then S.I = 16x/25
Let rate = R% and Time = R years.
Therefore, (x * R * R)/100 = 16x/25 => R = 40/5 = 8
Therefore, Rate = 8% and Time = 8 years.
Correct Answer: 800, 13%
Explanation:
S.I. for 1 ½ years = Rs (1164 - 1008) = Rs 156 .
S.I. for 2 years = Rs (156 x x 2)= Rs 208.
Therefore, Principal = Rs (1008 - 208) = Rs 800.
Now, P = 800, T= 2 and S.I. = 208.
Therefore, Rate = (100 x S.I.) / (P x T) = [ (100 x 208)/(800 x 2)]% = 13%
Correct Answer: Rs.15000
Explanation:
Principal =
Correct Answer: 1.5
Explanation:
Let the time be 'n' years, Then
n = 3/2 or n= 1 Years
Correct Answer: 16:15
Explanation:
let the sum lent at 5% be Rs.x and that lent at 8% be Rs.(1550-x). then,
Interest on x at 5% for 3 years + interest on (1550-x) at 8% for 3 years = 300
x=800
Required ratio = x : (1550-x) = 800 : (1550-800) = 800 : 750 = 16 : 15
Correct Answer: 4 years
Explanation:
Time = (100 x 81) / (450 x 4.5) = 4 years.
Correct Answer: 25%
Correct Answer: cannot be determined
Explanation:
We need to know the S.I, principal and time to find the rate. Since the principal is not given, so data is inadequate.
Correct Answer: 0.3%
Explanation:
(1500 x R1 x 3)/100
=> 4500 (R1-R2) = 1350
=> (R1-R2)= 1350/4500 = 0.3 %
