Answers:

1). Answer: a

S.I = (PRT / 100)

According to the question, = [(1500 × R × 8) / 100] – [(1500 × R × 4) / 100] = 80 – 50 (12000R – 6000R) / 100 = 30

6000R / 100 = 30

R = 30/60 = ½ = 0.5%

2). Answer: d

We can get SI of 6 years = 24010 – 19600 = 4410

SI for 10 years = (4410/6)*10

= 7350 [so that we can get principal amount after deducting SI]

Principal = 19600 – 7350

= 12250

SI = PTR/100

R = SI *100 /PT

R= 7350*100 / 12250*10

R = 735000/ 122500

R = 6 %

3). Answer: b

let the sum lent at 7% be Rs.x and that

lent at 10% be Rs.(2250-x).

Then, Interest on x at 7% for 3 years + interest on (2250-x) at 10% for 3 years = 450

x*7*3/100 + (2250-x)*10*3/100 =540

21x/100 + (2250-x)30 /100 =540

21x/100 + 67500-30x/100 =540

21x+67500-30x = 54000

67500-9x =54000

9x =13500

X=1500

Required ratio =  x : (2250-x)

=1500:750

=2:1

4). Answer: a

At 4% more rate, the increase in S.I for 8 years = Rs.480

So, at 4% more rate, the increase in SI for 1 year = 480/8 = Rs.60/-

i.e. Rs.60 is 4% of the invested sum

So, 1% of the invested sum = 60/4

Therefore, the invested sum = 60 × 100/4

=Rs. 1500

(or)

(P*8*(r+4))/100 – (P*8*r)/100 = 480

(8P/100)(r+4-r) =480

P = 480*100/32 = Rs. 1500

5). Answer: b

P + (P × (8 / 100) × 4) = 5280

(33 / 25)P = 5280

P = Rs. 4000

Amount payable after 3 years

= 4000 + [4000 × (8 / 100) × 3] = Rs. 4960

6). Answer: d

S.I = (P × r × t) / 100

8736 = (P × 6 × 8) / 100 = (8736 × 100) / (6 × 8)

= Rs. 17450

7). Answer: d

Let the sum lent at 32% be x and

The sum lent at be (6200 – x)

(x*1*10/100) + ((6200-x)*1*6/100) = 424

10x/100 + 37200 – 6x/100 = 424

4x + 37,200 = 42400

X = 5200/4 = 1300

Money lent at 10% = Rs. 1300

Money lent at 6% = Rs. (6200 – 1300) = Rs. 4900

8). Answer: c

S.I = Rs(1434 – 1200)

=Rs. 234

R = SI *100 / P*N

R = 234 *100/1200*3

= 13/2 %

New rate = 13/2  + 4 = 21/2 %

New S.I = Rs. (1200 * 3 * 21 /200)

=Rs. 378

New amount = Rs. (1200 + 378)

=Rs.1578

9). Answer: a

Let the sum be Rs.x

Now S.I = Rs.300

T = 5years

R = 100*SI / P*T

= 100*300 / x*5

= (6000/x) %

S.I for first 2 ½ years = Rs. (x*5*6000 / 2*100*x)

=Rs.150

S.I for last 2 ½ years = Rs. (3x*5*6000 / 2*x*100)

=Rs.450

Therefore total interest = Rs. (450+150) = Rs. 600

10). Answer: b

Let Sum = P, T= 20 yrs;

∴ S.I = 3P – P = 2P

Formula for S.I = (PRT) / 100

2P = (P × R × 20) / 100

R = 10%

To find Time (T),

∴ S.I = 2P – P = P

P = (P × 10 × T) / 100

Hence, T = 10 yrs.
