I. The rate of interest is 5 p.c.p.a.
II. Simple interest fetched on the same amount in one year is Rs. 600.
III. The amount borrowed is 10 times the simple interest in 2 years.

A) .I only B) III only
C) I or II D) II and Either I or III only

Answer:   D) II and Either I or III only



Explanation:

   I. gives, Rate = 5% p.a.

 

 II. gives, S.I. for 1 year = Rs. 600.

 

III. gives, sum = 10 x (S.I. for 2 years).

 


 Now I, and II give the sum.


 For this sum, C.I. and hence amount can be obtained.


 Thus, III is redundant.


 Again, II gives S.I. for 2 years = Rs. (600 x 2) = Rs. 1200.


 Now, from III, Sum = Rs. (10 x 1200) = Rs . 12000.


Thus,Rate =100*12002*12000 =5%


Thus, C.I. for 2 years and therefore, amount can be obtained.


Thus, I is redundant.



Hence, I or III redundan
