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: ? 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: Gains Rs. 5
Explanation:
P.W. of Rs. 220 due 1 year hence = Rs. (100 x 220) / (100 + 10)
= Rs. 200
hence, the man gains Rs. 5
Correct Answer: Rs. 30900
Explanation:
Req. amount = [27 x (100 + 6 x 1/2) x 100] / [(6 x 1/2)2]
= (2700 x 103) / 9 = Rs. 30900
Correct Answer: Rs. 100
Explanation:
Sum = [(S.I.) x (T.D.)] / [(S.I.) - (T.D.)] = Rs. (25 x 20) / (25 - 20)
= Rs. 100
Correct Answer: Rs. 234
Explanation:
Required answer = (100 x 272.61) / (100 + 15/2 x 273/365)
= 27261 / (100 + 33/2) = (27261 x 2)/233
= Rs. 234.
Correct Answer: Rs. 4140
Explanation:
Req. amount = [81 x (100 + 6 x 5/2) x 100] / [(6 x 5/2)2]
= (8100 x 115) / 225
= Rs. 4140
Here, S.I. - T.D. = Rs. 81
Correct Answer: 22/3%
Explanation:
T.D. = [Amount x R x T] / [100 + (R x T)]
? 40 = [340 x R x 5] / [100 + 5R]
? 40 = (1700 x R) / (100 + 5R)
? R = 22/3%;
