Q:

The difference between the compound interest and the simple interest on a certain sum at 12% p.a. for two years is Rs.90. What will be the value of the amount at the end of 3 years?

A) 8560 B) 8673
C) 8746 D) 8780.80
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 8780.80

Explanation:

when interest is reckoned using compound interest, interest being compounded annually. The difference in the simple interest and compound interest for two years is on account of the interest paid on the first year's interest  Hence 12% of simple interest = 90 => simple interest =90/0.12 =750.

As the simple interest for a year = 750 @ 12% p.a., the principal =750/0.12 = Rs.6250.

If the principal is 6250, then the amount outstanding at the end of 3 years = 6250 + 3(simple interest on 6250) + 3 (interest on simple interest) + 1 (interest on interest on interest) = 6250 +3(750) + 3(90) + 1(10.80) = 8780.80.

Q:

Jo's collection contains US, Indian and British stamps. If the ratio of US to Indian stamps is 5 to 2 and the ratio of Indian to British stamps is 5 to 1, what is the ratio of US to British stamps?

A) 10 : 5 B) 15 : 2
C) 20 : 2 D) 25 : 2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 25 : 2

Explanation:

Indian stamps are common to both ratios. Multiply both ratios by factors such that the Indian stamps are represented by the same number.

US : Indian = 5 : 2, and Indian : British = 5 : 1. Multiply the first by 5, and the second by 2. 

Now US : Indian = 25 : 10, and Indian : British = 10 : 2

Hence the two ratios can be combined and US : British = 25 : 2

Q:

A, B, C subscribe Rs. 50,000 for a business, A Subscribes Rs. 4000 more than B and B Rs. 5000 more thanC. Out of a total profit  of Rs. 35,000, A receives :

A) 14700 B) 15000
C) 12000 D) 13500
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 14700

Explanation:

Let C = x. Then, B = x + 5000  and A =  x + 5000 + 4000 = x + 9000.

So,  x + x + 5000 + x + 9000 = 50000  <=>  3x = 36000  <=>

x = 12000.

A : B : C =  21000 : 17000 : 12000 = 21 : 17 : 12.

A's share = Rs. (35000 * 21/50 ) = Rs. 14,700.

A) 6% B) 8%
C) 10% D) 12%
