Correct Answer: Rs. 3000, Rs . 3240
Explanation:
P.W. = (100 x T.D.) / (R x T) = (100 x 240) / (12 x 8/12) = Rs. 3000
? P.W. is Rs. 3000
? A = Amount of bill = P.W. + T.D. = 3000 + 240 = 3240
Correct Answer: 8 months
Explanation:
P.W. = (Sum due) - (T.D.)
= Rs. (1860 - 60) = Rs. 1800
Thus, Rs. 60 is S.I. on Rs. 1800 at 5% per annum
? Time = (100 x 60) / (1800 x 5) years
= 2 / 3 years = 8 months
Correct Answer: Rs. 160, Rs. 16
Explanation:
P.W. = (100 x 176) / (100 + (6 x 20)/12) = Rs. 160
T.D. = Amount - present worth
= Rs. 176 - Rs. 160 = Rs. 16
Correct Answer: 9%
Explanation:
P.W. = Rs. (2575 - 75) = Rs. 2500
? Rate = (100 x 75 x 3) / (2500 x 1)% = 9%
Correct Answer: Rs. 5000
Explanation:
Required sum = (100 x 5300) / {(100 + (3/2) x 4)}
= (100 x 5300) / 106 = Rs. 5000
Correct Answer: Rs. 32
Explanation:
S.I. - T.D. = [A x (R.T)2] / [100(100 + R.T.)]
= [960 x (4 x 5)2] / [100 x (100 + 4 x 5)]
= [(960 x 20 x 20) / (100 x 120)] = Rs. 32
Correct Answer: PW = ? 3000 and TD = ? 720
Explanation:
Let PW be N.
? 3720 - N = (N x 8 x 3) / 100 = 6N / 25
? 31N = 3720 x 25
? N = (3720 x 25) / 31 = ? 3000
TD = Amount - PW = 3720 - 3000 = ? 720
Correct Answer: ? 5472
Explanation:
Given that, R = 7%, T = 2 yr,
TD = ? 672 and Sum due (A) = ?
According to the formula, (3)
TD = (A x R x T) / (100 + R x T)
? 672 = (A x 7 x 2) / (100 + 7 x 2) = 14A/114
? A = (114 x 672)/14 = ? 5472
Correct Answer: 50%
Explanation:
Given that, SI = ? 225, TD = ? 75,
T = 4 yr and R = ?
According to the formula,
SI - TD = (TD x R x T)/100
? 225 - 75 = (75 x R x 4)/100
? 150 = (75 x R x 4) /100
? 3R = 150
R = 50%
Correct Answer: 162/3%
Explanation:
SP = 102% of ? 600 = (102/100) x 600 = ? 612
Now, PW = ? 612 and sum = ? 688.50
? TD = 688.50 - 612 = ? 76.50
Thus, SI on ? 612 for 9 months is ? 76.50.
? Rate = (100 x 76.50) / (612 x 3/4)
= (100 x 76.50) / (153 x 3)
=162/3%
