Correct Answer: Rs. 768
Explanation:
We know that,
P.W = 100×T.D/R×T
= 100×168/14×2
P.W = 600.
Now, required Sum = (P.W. + T.D.)
= Rs. (600 + 168)
= Rs. 768.
Correct Answer: 20years
Explanation:
PW =
Correct Answer: 8months
Explanation:
P.W= Amount ? (T.D)
Time =
Correct Answer: 6000
Explanation:
Let amount be Rs. x.
Then, [X * R * T] / [100+(R * T)]
x= Rs.6540
Amount = Rs. 6540.
P.W. = Rs. (6540 ? 540) =Rs. 6000.
Correct Answer: 18.33
Explanation:
Present worth = Amount - True Discount = 110 -10 = Rs.100
SI on Rs.100 for a certain time = Rs.10
SI on Rs.100 for doube the time = Rs.20
True Discount on Rs.120 = 120 - 100 = Rs.20
True Discount on Rs.110 = = Rs.18.33
Correct Answer: Rs.10.40
Explanation:
Simple Interest on Rs. (260-20) for a gven time= Rs.20
Simple Interest on Rs. (260-20) for a half time = Rs.10
True Discount on Rs.250 = Rs.10
True Discount on Rs.260 = Rs.[(10/250) x 260] = Rs. 10.40
Correct Answer: 3600

Let the sum be Rs. x. Then,
(x/2)+(2x/5)-(8x/9) = 40
x=3600.
Therfore, amount of bill=Rs. 3600.
Correct Answer: 10months
Explanation:
P.W = Rs. (1760 - 160) = Rs.1600
S.I on Rs.1600 at 12% is Rs. 160
Time = (100 x 160)/(1600 x 12) = 5/6 years = (5/6) x 12 months = 10 months
Correct Answer: 14%
Explanation:
S.I on Rs.750= T.D on Rs. 960
This means P.W of Rs. 960 due 2 years hence is Rs.750
Therefore , T.D= Rs. (960 - 750) = Rs. 210
Thus, S.I on Rs. 750 for 2 years is Rs. 210
Rate =[ (100 x 210) / (750 x 2) ] % = 14%
Correct Answer: A gains Rs. 7.34
Explanation:
A has to pay = Present worth of Rs220 due 1yr hence
= Rs.[(220 x 100)/100+(10 x 1)] = Rs.200
A actually pays = Rs.110+PW of Rs.110 due 2 yrs hence
= [110+(110 x 100)] / [100+(10 x 2)] = Rs.192.66
So, A gains Rs. (200-192.66) = Rs.7.34
