Options- A. 10 sec
- B. 12 sec
- C. 15 sec
- D. 18 sec Discuss

Required time taken= =200/(50/3) = 200 x (3/50) = 12 sec- 4. The rate of interest for the first 2 years is 5% for the next 3 years is 8% and beyond this. It is 10% per annum. If the simple interest for 8 years is Rs . 1280. What is the principal?
Options- A. Rs. 2500
- B. Rs. 2000
- C. Rs. 3200
- D. Rs. 2440 Discuss
Correct Answer: Rs. 2000
Explanation:
r1 = 5%,
r2 = 8%,
r3 = 10%,
t1 = 2 years
t2 = 3 years,
t3 = 8 - (2 + 3) = 3 years
? Principal = (Interest x 100) / [(r1 x t1) + (r2 x t2) + (r3 x t3 )]
= (1280 x 100) / (5 x 2 + 8 x 3 + 10 x 3)
= 128000/(10 + 24 + 30)
= 128000/64
