A) 22000 B) 28000
C) 32000 D) 36000
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 28000

Explanation:

Suppose B invested Rs. x for y months. Then, A invested Rs. 3x for 2y months.

So, A : B = (3x * 2y) : (x * y) = 6xy : xy = 6 : 1.

B's profit : Total profit  = 1 : 7.

Let the total profit be Rs. x Then,  1/7 = 4000/x  or x = 28000.

A) 1261 B) 1271
C) 1281 D) 1291
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 1261

Clearly, Rate = 5% p.a., Time = 3 years, S.I.= Rs. 1200. . .
So principal=RS [100*1200]/3*5=RS 8000
Amount = Rs. 8000 x [1 +5/100]^3 - = Rs. 9261.
.. C.I. = Rs. (9261 - 8000) = Rs. 1261.
