Solutions:
 
1).S.I = 79900 – 58750 = Rs.21150
We know S.I = (P×R×T)/100
Rate = [(S.I × 100)] / [(Principal × Time)]
= (21150 × 100) / (58750 × 4)= 9% per annum
Answer: e)
 
2).S.I = (12000 × 9 × 13)/ 100
= Rs. 14040
:. Amount = 12000 ÷ 14040 = Rs. 26040
Answer: e)
 
3).S.I = (1/8) × principle
= (1/8) × 24000
= Rs. 3000
:. Rate= (S.I × 100) / (Principal × Time)
= (3000 × 100) / (24000×2)
= 6.25% per annum
Answer: c)
 
4).CASE: I
S.I = (P×R×T)/100
= Rs. [(24200×4×6)/100]
=Rs. 5808
:. Amount = Principal + SI
= Rs. (24200 + 5808) = Rs. 30008
CASE: II
S.I= Rs. [(30008×4×4)/100]
= Rs. 4801.28
Answer: c)
 
5).S.I = 5984 – 4400 = 1584
Time= (S.I × 100)/ (Principal × Rate)
= (1584 × 100) / (4400 × 4)
= Rs. 9
Answer: a)
 
6).C.I = P [1 + (R/100)]T – P
à C.I = P {[1 + (R/100)]T – 1}
à C.I = 7790 [1 + (10/100)]2– 1
= 7790 [(121/100)-1]
= (7790 × 21)/100
= Rs. 1635.9
Answer: d)
 
7).S.I = (13033 × 13 × 3)/100
= Rs. 508.17
C.I = 13033 [1 + (13/100)]3 – 1
= 13033 × 0.44 = Rs. 5772.28
Difference = 5772.28 – 508.17
= Rs. 5264.11
Answer: e)
 
8).A= P [1 + (R/100)]T
= 7250 [1 + (6/100)]2
= 7250 × (1.06)2
= Approx.  Rs.8146
Answer: b)
 
9).Interest = 3456 – 3200 = Rs. 256
:. Rate = (S.I × 100) / (Principal × Time)
= (256 × 100) / (3200×2)
= 4% per annum
Answer: c)
 
10).If the rates of interest be r1 and r2% per annum, then
[2200 × 4(r1– r2)] / 100 = 202.40
à r1– r2= (202.40 × 100) / (2200 × 4)
=2.3% per annum
Answer: b)
