Detailed Explanation:
1). :. Required difference
=15000(25 / [2 * 100])2 =15000 / 64
= Rs 234.375
Answer: a)
2). Simple interest = [principle * Rate * Time] / 100
:. X / 4 = [x * r * 5] / 100
âž¾ r = 100 / [4 * 50]
âž¾ r = 5 %
Answer: a)
3). Let the principle be Rs P.
Rate of interest = R%
Using formula of simple interest SI = [P * R * T] / 100
225 = [P * R * 3] / 100
[225 * 100] / 3 = P * R
P * 7500 âž¾R = 7500 / P
Now, using formula of Amount for Compound Interest
CI = P[(1 +(R / 100))2 – 1]
Putting value of CI and R calculated above
153 = P [(1 + (7500/ P * 100))2 – 1 ]
[153 / P] + 1= [(P + 75) / P] 2
[153 + P] / P = [(P + 75)2 / P2] P
(153 +P) = P2 + 150P + 5625
153P + P2 = P2+ 150 P + 5625
153P – 150P = 5625
3P = 5625
P = 5625 / 3
= Rs 1875
Answer: b)
4). P = 3000
R = 7%
CI=4347
T=?
Using formula for compound interest
CI = P [( 1 +(R /100))T – 1 ]
âž¾4347 = 3000[1 + (7 / 100)T – 1]
âž¾[4347 / 30000] + 1= (107 / 100)T
âž¾(30000 + 4347)/ 30000 =[107 / 100]T
âž¾34347 / 30000 =(107 /100)T
âž¾11449 / 10000 =(107 / 100)T
âž¾(107 * 107) / (100 * 100) = (107 / 100)T
âž¾(107 / 100)2 =(107 / 100)T
:. T = 2 yr
Answer: a)
5). Let A’s share be Rs X.
:. B’s share = Rs (2000 – X), then
Given,
X [1 + (5 / 100)]3 = (2000 – X) [1 + ( 5 / 100)]4
âž¾ X = (2000 – X)(21 / 20)
➾ 20X = 2000 * 21 – 21X
  :. X = 42000 / (20 + 21) = 42000 / 41
= 1024.339 ≈Rs. 1024
Answer: d)
6). Let each installment be Rs X
Amount = 3500 – 1000 = Rs 25000
:. X / [1 + (25 / 200)] + X / [1 + (25 / 200)]2 + X / [1 + (25 / 200)]3 =2500
âž¾[8 / 9]X + [8 / 9]2 X+ [8 / 9]3 X = 2500
âž¾ 8 / 9 X[1 + (8 / 9) +(64 / 81)] = 2500
➾ 8 / 9[(81 + 72 + 64) / 81] = 2500
âž¾ 8 / 9 X * 217 / 81 = 2500
:. X = (2500 * 9 * 81) / 8 * 217 = Rs 1049.83
Answer: b)
7). Let the principle be Rs P and Interest be r%
According to question,
Interest for a consecutive year is Rs 242.
:. Interest on Rs 220 is Rs (242 – 220) i.e., Rs 22.
:. 22 = (220 * 1 * r) / 100
âž¾ r =(2200 / 220) = 10%
Answer: b)
8). Let the principle be Rs. P and the rate of interest = 1%
According to question, A = 2.25 P, n =Â 2yr
:. 2.25 P = P[ 1 +( r / 100)]2
âž¾ 2.25 = [1 + (r / 100)]2
âž¾1.5 = 1+ (r / 100)
âž¾ r / 100 = 0.5
âž¾r = 50%
Answer: d)
9). Principle = Rs.5000,
t = 2 yr, r1 = 4%, r2 = 6(1 / 4)%
:. Gain = [5000 * 9 *2] / [100 * 4] = 225
âž¾Gain per year =225 / 2
= Rs 112.50
Answer: a)
10). Ratio of their investment
= ([2500000 * 1] + [3500000 * 2] ) : ([3500000 * 2]Â + [2500000 * 1]) : (3000000 * 3)
=9500000 : 9500000 : 9000000
= 19 : 19 : 18
Answer: d)
