Q:

If the C.I. on a sum for 2 years at 12 1/2 % per annum is Rs. 510, the S.I. on the same sum at the same rate for the same period of time is   ?

A) Rs. 580 B) Rs. 480
C) Rs. 550 D) Rs. 470
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs. 480

Explanation:

Let the sum be Rs. P. Then,

 

P1+252x1002-P= 510

 

P[982- 1] = 510.

 

Sum = Rs. 1920

 

So, S.I. = (1920 x 25 x 2) / (2 x 100) = Rs. 480
