- Question
If J is the interest on K and K is the interest on L, the rate and time is the same on both the cases. What is the relation between J, K and L ?
Options- A. J x J = KL
- B. K x K= JL
- C. L x L = JK
- D. JKL = 1
- Correct Answer
- K x K= JL
ExplanationLet the Time be 'N' and Rate be 'R'
J = (K x NR)/100 K = (L x NR)/100
J/K = NR/100 K/L = NR/100
J/K = K/L
K x K = JL

Correct Answer: Data is not sufficient
Explanation:
Let the sum be Rs. p, rate be R% p.a. and time be T years.
Then,
And,
Clearly, from (1) and (2), we cannot find the value of p
So, the data is not sufficient.
Correct Answer: 4 years
Explanation:
Time = (100 x 81)/(450 x 4.5) years
= 4 years.
Correct Answer: Any two of the three
Explanation:
Clearly, any of the three will give us the answer
Correct Answer: 10%
Explanation:
Let the rate be R% p.a.
Then,
Rate = 10%
Correct Answer: 8%
Explanation:
From the given data,
3500x7xt/100 = 500
=> t = 100/49 years
Now, in the second case
The interest per year = 49/100 x 800 = 392
=> 4900 x 1 x r/100 = 392
=> r = 8%
Correct Answer: Rs.1625
Explanation:
Let sum be Rs.x then, S.I. =Rs. [ x * (27/2) * 4 * (1/100) ] = Rs. 27x/50
Amount =Rs [ x + (27x/50)] = Rs.77x/50
=> 77X/50 = 2502.50
=>X= (2502.50 * 50)/77 = 1625
Hence Sum = Rs.1625
Correct Answer: $504
Explanation:
Cash price = $21 000
Deposit = 10% × $21 000 = $2100
Loan amount = $21000 ? $2100 = $18900
I=p x r x t/100
I=11340
Total amount = 18900 + 11340 = $30240
Regular payment = total amount /number of payments
Correct Answer: 8%
Explanation:
We know,
S.I = PTR/100 where P = principal amount, T = time, R = rate of interest
Here in the given data,
Interest for two years S.I = 924 - 812 = Rs. 112
Now, Principal amount P = 812 - 112 = Rs. 700
Now,
R = S.I x 100/PT
R = 112 x 100/700 x 2
R = 11200/1400
R = 8%
Hence, the rate of interest R = 8%.
Correct Answer: 3.87
Explanation:
Let the two different rates of interests be r1 and r2 respectively.
From the given data,
Hence, the difference in the interest rates = 3.87
Correct Answer: 18.75 %
Explanation:
Given,
S.I = 3 Principal Amount
=> 3A = A x 16 x R/100
By solving, we get
=> R = 18.75%
