Q:

A man’s average monthly expenditure for the first four months of the year was Rs. 231.25. For the next five months, the average monthly expenditure was Rs. 22.75 more than what it was during the first four months. If the person spent Rs. 605 in all during the remaining three months of the year, find what percentage of his annual income of Rs. 3500 did he save in the year?

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

Explanation:

A man's average monthly expenditure for the first four months of the year = Rs.231.25.
For four month = 231.25 * 4 = Rs. 925
For next five month he spend = 231.25 + 22.75 for one month.
In five month he spend = (231.25 + 22.75) X 5 = 1270
If the person spent Rs. 605 in all during the remaining three months of the year,
Total expense = 925+1270+605= 2800
Saving = 3500-2800 = 700
% saving = 700/3500 * 100 = 20%

Q:

The difference between Simple Interest and Compound Interest at the rate of 12% on the same amount for 3 years is Rs. 112.32. What is the principal amount if interest is compounded annually?

A) Rs. 25000 B) Rs. 2500
C) Rs. 50000 D) Rs. 5000
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs. 2500

Explanation:

Let the principal amount be Rs. x
Calculating SI:
SI for 1 year at 12% rate is Rs (12/100)*x. For 3 years it will be Rs (36/100)*x ------ (1)
Calculating CI:
For 1st year, Interest = (12/100)*x
For 2nd year, interest = (12/100)*x + (12/100)*x + (144/10000)*x
For 3rd year, interest = (12/100)*x + (12/100)*x + (12/100)*x + (144/10000)*x + (144/10000)*x + (1728/1000000)*x. ------ (2)
Subtracting equation 2 and 1 and solving further,
312*144*x/1000000 = 112.32
X = Rs 2500.
Alternative way: Using formula for Difference
between CI and SI for 3 years

we can also use the above formula to find the value of P.
