Q:

In how many years, Rs. 200 will produce the same interest @ 5 % as Rs. 900 produce in 2 years @ 3 ½ %  ?

A) 5.2 yrs B) 7 yrs
C) 7.9 yrs D) 6.3 yrs
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 6.3 yrs

Explanation:

P = Rs. 900, R = 3 ½ % = 7/2 %, T = 2 years. 

Therefore, 

S.I. = PTR/100

S.I. = Rs. (900 x 7/2 x 2/100) = Rs. 63

Now, P = Rs. 200, S.I. = Rs. 63, R = 5 %

Time = ((100 x 63) / (200 x 5) ) years = 6.3 years.

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 70% is better

Then 100 x 70/100 = 70
=> price after discount = 100-70 = Rs.30

2nd CASE:

Then 100 x 40/100 = 40
=> price after discount = 100-40 = Rs.60
then
60 x 30/100 = 18
=> price after 2 consequent discount = 60-18 = Rs.42

=>from 1 and 2 cases, 70% discount is better.
