A) 100 %	B) 200%
C) 300%	D) 600%

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 200%

Explanation:

Let the salaries of A, B, C be x, 2x and 3x respectively.

Then,2x + 3x = 6000 => x = 1200.

A's salary = Rs. 1200, B's salary = Rs. 2400, and Cs salary Rs. 3600.
Excess of C's salary over A's=[ (2400 /1200) x 100] = 200%.

A) 10000	B) 20000
C) 40000	D) 50000

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 20000

Explanation:

Let sum=Rs.x

C.I. when compounded half yearly = $[x {(1 + \frac{10}{100})}^{4} - x] = \frac{4641}{10000}$

C.I. when compounded annually = $[x {(\frac{20}{100})}^{2} - x] = \frac{11}{25}$

$\frac{4641}{10000} x - \frac{11}{25} x = 482$

=> x=20000
