Correct Answer: ? 200
Correct Answer: Rs. 2500
Correct Answer: 200
Explanation:
[(X+1400)*8*2/100] - [(X*8*1)/100]= 240
0.16X + 14*16 - 0.08X = 240
0.08X = 240 - 224
0.08X = 16
X = Rs. 200
Correct Answer: Rs 525
Correct Answer: 600
Correct Answer: 6 times
Explanation:
A = P(1 + rt/100)
So, A= 3P (it becomes triples)
3P = P(1 + 8r/100)?r = 25%
Now, when t = 20
?A = P(1 + 25*20/100)
?A = P(1+ 5)?A = 6P
So, it becomes 6 times.
Correct Answer: Rs. 7500
Explanation:
Let the sum invested be x.
? 8x/100 + 12x/100 = 1500
? 20x = 150000
