  3. Rs. 22000
  4. Rs. 25000
  5. None of these

Answers:

  1. Answer c

In 4 years, Amount = 2400In 6 years, Amount = 3000

S.I for 2 years = 3000 – 2400 = 600

S.I for 1 year = 300

  1. I for 6 years = 6*300 = 1800

Principle = 3000 – 1800 = 1200

According to the question,

(1200*6*r)/100 = 1800

R = 1800/72 = 25 %

2. Answer b

Let us take one part be x and another one be 48000-x According to the question,

X[(1 + 10/200)2 – 1) + [(48000 – x)*15*1]/100 = 5490

X[(210/200)2 – 1)] + 7200 – (15x/100) = 5490

(41x/400) + 7200 – (15x/100) = 5490

(41x/400) – (15x/100) = 5490 – 7200

-19x/400 = -1710

X = 1710*(400/19) = 36000

The amount invested in S.I = 48000 – x = 48000 – 36000 = Rs. 12000

3. Answer a

C.I – S.I = 15015000[(1 + (2x/100))2 – 1] – (15000*2x*2)/100 = 150

15000[((100 + 2x)/100)2 – 1] – 600x = 150

15000*[(10000 + 400x + 4x2 – 10000)/10000] – 600x = 150

15000*[(400x + 4x2)/10000] – 600x = 150

(60000/10000)*[100x + x2] – 600x = 150

600x +6x2 – 600x = 150

6x2 = 150

X2 = 25

X = 5

The rate of interest per annum = 2x % = 10 % per annum

4. Answer d

According to the question,25000*[(100 + x)/100] + [(32000*(x + 3))/100] + 32000 = 62520

25000 + 250x + 320x + 960 = 62520 – 32000

570x = 30520 – 25960

570x = 4560

X = 8

Rate of Interest for S.I = x + 3 = 11 %

5. Answer b

S.I = Pnr/10015000 = (P*3*10)/100

P = 1500000/30 = Rs. 50000

Corresponding C.I:

50000*(10/100) = 5000

55000*(10/100) = 5500

60500*(10/100) = 6050

C.I = 5000 + 5500 + 6050 = Rs. 16550

6. Answer c

S.I = PNR/1004200 = P*3*8/100

P = 4200*100/24

P = 17500

Corresponding C.I:

17500*(8/100) = 1400

18900*(8/100) = 1512

20412*(8/100) =1632.96

C.I = 1400 + 1512 + 1632.96 = 4544.96

7. Answer c

Let the rate of interest be x,(4500*2*x)/100 + (7500*4*x)/100 = 2340

90x + 300x = 2340

390x = 2340

X = 2340/390 = 6 %

The rate of interest(x) = 6 %

8. Answer a

Let the principle be x,Amount = 2x

S.I = 2x – x = x

S.I = PNR/100

X = [x*8*R]/100

R = 100/8 = 12.5 %

9. Answer b

C.I for annually:

28000*(4/100) = 1120

29120*(4/100) = 1164.8

C.I = 1120 + 1164.8 = 2284.8

C.I for half yearly:

28000*(2/100) = 560

28560*(2/100) = 571.20

29131.2*(2/100) = 582.624

29713.824*(2/100) = 594.27648

C.I = 560 + 571.20 + 582.624 + 594.27648 = 23008.10048

Required difference = 23008.10048 – 2284.8 = 23.30048 = Rs. 23

10. Answer d

The difference between the simple interest and compound interest for 3 years is,Difference = [Sum* r2 * (r + 300)]/1003

275.40 = [Sum*36*306]/1003

Sum = (275.40*100*100*100)/(36*306)

Sum = Rs. 25000
