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.

From container A containing 54 liter of mixture of milk and water in ratio of 8 : 1 , 18 liter of the mixture is taken out and poured into container B in which ratio of milk to water is 3 : 1. If difference between total milk and total water in container B is 30 liter then find the quantity of initial mixture in container B. 

A) 30 Liter  B) 28 Liter 
C) 32 Liter  D) 36 Liter 
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 32 Liter 

Explanation:

Let initially milk and water in container B is 3x liter and x liter respectively

Now, 3x + (8/9) × 18 – x – (1/9) × 18 = 30

3x + 16 – x – 2 = 30

x = 8

Initial quantity is container B = 8 (3 + 1) = 32 Liter.
