Q:

A sum of Rs.1550 was lent partly at 8% p.a. simple interest. The total interest received after 3 years was Rs.300. The ratio of the money lent at 5% to that lent at 8% is :

A) 5:8 B) 6:7
C) 16:15 D) 17:18
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 16:15

Explanation:

let the sum lent at 5% be Rs.x and that lent at 8% be Rs.(1550-x). then, 

 

Interest on x at 5% for 3 years + interest on (1550-x) at 8% for 3 years = 300

 

 x*5*3100+1500-x*8*3100=300 

 

 x=800

 

Required ratio =  x : (1550-x) = 800 : (1550-800) = 800 : 750 = 16 : 15

Q:

A has to pay Rs.220 to B after 1yr. B asks A to pay Rs.110 in cash and defer the payment of Rs.110 for 2 yrs. A agrees to it. If the rate of interest be 10% per annum in this mode of payment:

A) A gains Rs.11 B) There is No gain or loss
C) A losses 7.43 D) A gains Rs. 7.34
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) A gains Rs. 7.34

Explanation:

A has to pay = Present worth of Rs220 due 1yr hence  

= Rs.[(220 x 100)/100+(10 x 1)] = Rs.200 

 

A actually pays = Rs.110+PW  of Rs.110 due 2 yrs hence 

= [110+(110 x 100)] / [100+(10 x 2)] = Rs.192.66  

 

So, A gains Rs. (200-192.66) = Rs.7.34
