- Question
A has to pay Rs.220 to B after 1yr. B asks A to pay Rs.110 in cash and defer the payment of Rs.110 for 2 yrs. A agrees to it. If the rate of interest be 10% per annum in this mode of payment:
Options- A. A gains Rs.11
- B. There is No gain or loss
- C. A losses 7.43
- D. A gains Rs. 7.34
- Correct Answer
- A gains Rs. 7.34
ExplanationA 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

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: 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: 3600
Explanation:
Let the sum be Rs. x. Then,
(x/2)+(2x/5)-(8x/9) = 40
x=3600.
Therfore, amount of bill=Rs. 3600.
Correct Answer: Rs.10.40

Simple Interest on Rs. (260-20) for a half time = Rs.10
True Discount on Rs.250 = Rs.10

Correct Answer: 5
Explanation:
loss = C.P - S.P = 490 - 465.50 =24.50
loss % = (loss x 100)/C.P = (24.50 x 100)/490 = 5%
Correct Answer: (6 + 2/3)%
Explanation:
Sum ? Amount
A = (SI x TD)/(SI - TD)
Correct Answer: 6000
Explanation:
Let amount be Rs.x then,
[X * R * T] / [100 + (R * T)] = T.D
=> [x * 12 * (3/4)] / [100+(12 * 3/4)] =540
=> x = 6540
Amount = Rs.6540
P.W = Rs.(6540 -540) = Rs.6000
Correct Answer: (16 + 2/3)%
Explanation:
sum = [(S.I x T.D)/(S.I-T.D)] = Rs. [(375 x 250)/(375-250)] = Rs.750
Rate = (100 x 375)/(750 x 3) = %
Correct Answer: Rs.1680
Explanation:
= Rs.1680
Correct Answer: 768
Explanation:
P.W = (100 x T.D)/(R x T) = (100 x 168)/(14 x 2)= 600
Sum = (P.W + T.D) = Rs. (600+ 168) = Rs.768.
