Correct Answer: 5.96 %
Explanation:
Difference in amount = 514 - 415 = 99
99 = (415 x 4 x R)/100
R = 5.96%
Correct Answer: Rs. 15,000
Explanation:
Principal = Rs.(100 x 5400)/(12 x 3)= Rs. 15000.
Correct Answer: Rs.7500
Explanation:
Where d is difference, r is rate of interest.
=> (48 x 100 x 100) / 8 x 8 = Rs.7500
Correct Answer: 4 : 5
Explanation:
Let x be the investment of Lasya in 5% and y be in 4%
x(5)(n)/100 = y(4)(n)/100
=> x/y = 4/5
x : y = 4 : 5
Correct Answer: 6
Explanation:
Let rate = R% and time = R years.
Then, (1200 x R x R) / 100 = 432
=> R = 6.
