Explanation:
| P.W. = Rs. | [ | 100 x 2310 | ] | = Rs. 1680. | ||
|
Correct Answer: Rs. 1360
Explanation:
| Sum = | S.I. x T.D. | = | 85 x 80 | = Rs. 1360. |
| (S.I.) - (T.D.) | (85 - 80) |
Correct Answer:
| 16 | 2 | % |
| 3 |
Explanation:
| S.P. = 102% of Rs. 600 = | ❨ | 102 | x 600 | ❩ | = Rs. 612. |
| 100 |
Now, P.W. = Rs. 612 and sum = Rs. 688.50.
∴ T.D. = Rs. (688.50 - 612) = Rs. 76.50.
Thus, S.I. on Rs. 612 for 9 months is Rs. 76.50.
| ∴ Rate = | ❨ | 100 x 76.50 | ❩% | = 16⅔% |
|
Correct Answer: Rs. 1764
Explanation:
Let P.W. be Rs. x.
Then, S.I. on Rs. x at 16% for 9 months = Rs. 189.
| ∴ x x 16 x | 9 | x | 1 | = 189 or x = 1575. |
| 12 | 100 |
∴ P.W. = Rs. 1575.
∴ Sum due = P.W. + T.D. = Rs. (1575 + 189) = Rs. 1764.
Correct Answer: 15%
Explanation:
P.W. = Rs. (2562 - 122) = Rs. 2440.
∴ S.I. on Rs. 2440 for 4 months is Rs. 122.
| ∴ Rate = | [ | 100 x 122 | ]% | = 15%. |
