Explanation:
Correct Answer: 3750
Explanation:
Correct Answer: ? 96
Explanation:
Given that, T = 4 yr, R = 4%
PW = ? 600 and TD = ?
According to the formula, (1)
TD = (PW x R x T)/100
TD = (600 x 4 x 4)/100 = 6 x 4 x 4 = ? 96
Correct Answer: 1%
Explanation:
Given that, PW =? 50000,
TD =? 2000, T = 4 yr and R = ?
According to the formula, (1)
TD = (PW x R x T) / 100
? 2000 = (50000 x R x 4) / 100
? R = (2000 x 100) / (50000 x 4) = 20/20 = 1%
Correct Answer: Rs. 240
