A) 2 years	B) 2.5 years
C) 3 years	D) 4 years

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 2 years

(107/100)^n = 34347/30000 = 11449/10000 = (107/100)^2

$\therefore$ n = 2years

Q:

Question :

What is the sum which earned interest ?

Statements :

a. The total simple interest was Rs. 9000 after 9 years.
b. The total of sum and simple interest was double of the sum after 6 years.

A) Only a is sufficient	B) Neither a nor b is sufficient
C) Only b is sufficient	D) Both a and b sufficient

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Both a and b sufficient

Explanation:

Let the sum be Rs. x

a. gives, S.I = Rs. 9000 and time = 9 years.

b. gives, Sum + S.I for 6 years = 2 x Sum

--> Sum = S.I for 6 years.

Now, S.I for 9 years = Rs. 9000

S.I for 1 year = Rs. 9000/9 = Rs. 1000.

S.I for 6 years = Rs. (1000 x 6)= Rs. 6000.

--> x = Rs. 6000

Thus, both a and b are necessary to answer the question.
