- Question
A sum of Rs. 725 is lent in the beginning of a year at a certain rate of interest. After 8 months, a sum of Rs. 362.50 more is lent but at the rate twice the former. At the end of the year, Rs. 33.50 is earned as interest from both the loans. What was the original rate of interest?
Options- A. 3.6%
- B. 4.5%
- C. 5%
- D. 6%
- E. None of these
- Correct Answer
- None of these
Explanation
Let the original rate be R%. Then, new rate = (2R)%.Note:
Here, original rate is for 1 year(s); the new rate is for only 4 months i.e. ⅓ year(s).∴ ❨ 725 x R x 1 ❩ + ❨ 362.50 x 2R x 1 ❩ = 33.50 100 100 x 3 ⟹ (2175 + 725) R = 33.50 x 100 x 3
⟹ (2175 + 725) R = 10050
⟹ (2900)R = 10050
⟹ R = 10050 = 3.46 2900 ∴ Original rate = 3.46%

Correct Answer: 47
Correct Answer: 73800
Explanation:
perimeter = total cost / cost per m = 10080 /20 = 504m
side of the square = 504/4 = 126m
breadth of the pavement = 3m
side of inner square = 126 - 6 = 120m
area of the pavement = (126 x126) - (120 x 120) = 246 x 6 sq m
cost of pavement = 246*6*50 = Rs. 73800

Let the average after 17th innings = x
Then average after 16th innings = (x - 3)
Therefore 16 × (x - 3) + 87 = 17x
Therefore x = 39
