Explanation:
Here Avinash gave to Rajeev and Rajeev gave the same to Chanukya
Principal amount and Time is same but the only difference is Rate of interest.
Rajeev took @ 8% and gave it to Chanukya @ 6%

Required amount =
Hence, Rs. 432 is the extra amount has to be paid by Rajeev to Avinash after 4 years.
Correct Answer: Rs. 316
Explanation:
S.I. for 2 years = (514 - 415) = Rs. 99
S.I. for 1 year = 99/2
Principal = (415 - 99) = Rs. 316.
Correct Answer: 8.16 %
Explanation:
Let the sum be Rs. 100. Then,
S.I. for first 6 months = (100 x 8 x 1) / (100 x 2) = Rs. 4
S.I. for last 6 months = (104 x 8 x 1) / (100 x 2) = Rs. 4.16
So, amount at the end of 1 year = (100 + 4 + 4.16) = Rs. 108.16
Effective rate = (108.16 - 100) = 8.16%.
Correct Answer: Rs. 7000
Explanation:
Let the sum be Rs. S.
(S x 18 x 2)/100 - (S x 12 x 2)/100 = 840 => 36S/100 - 24S/100 = 840
=> 12S/100 = 840 => S = 7000.
Correct Answer: 18.33 %
Explanation:
We know that I = PTR/100
11 = (2x30xR)/100
R = 18.333 %
Correct Answer: 60
Correct Answer: 10
Correct Answer: Rs.300
Correct Answer: Rs. 8000
Explanation:
Let the amount at 6% be x
Amount at 10% be (10000 ?x)
At 9.2 % interest, SI = 10000 X 9.2 X 1/100 = 920
Amount = 10920
? 6x/100 + (10000 ? x)10/100 = 920
? 6x ? 10x + 100000 = 92000
? 4x = 8000
? x = 2000
Money lent at 10 % = 10000 ? 2000 = 8000
Correct Answer: 8
