Q:

The compound interest on a certain sum for 2 years at 10% per annum is Rs. 1155. The simple interest on the same sum for double the time at half the rate percent per annum is ?

A) Rs. 1100	B) Rs. 5500
C) Rs. 1400	D) Rs. 4120

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 1100

Explanation:

Let the sum be Rs.x. Then,

$[x {(1 + \frac{10}{100})}^{2} - x] = 1155$

$\Rightarrow x [{(\frac{11}{10})}^{2} - 1] = 1155$

=> x =5500

sum = Rs. 5500.

So, S.I = Rs. $(\frac{5500 \times 5 \times 4}{100})$ = 1100

Q:

There is 50% increase in an amount in 5 years at simple interest. What will be the compound interest of Rs. 12,000 after 3 years at the same rate ?

A) Rs. 5422	B) Rs. 5489
C) Rs. 3972	D) Rs. 6145

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Rs. 3972

Explanation:

Let p = Rs. 100.

Then, S.I is Rs. 50 and time = 5 years.

$∴ R = \frac{100 \times 50}{100 \times 5}$ = 10% p.a.

Now, p = Rs. 12,000 , T = 3 years and R = 10% p.a.

C.I. = Rs. $12000 \times \{{(1 + \frac{10}{100})}^{3} - 1\}$ = Rs. 3972

Q:

If the rate increases by 2%, the simple interest received on a sum of money increases by Rs. 108. If the time period is increased by 2 years, the simple interest on the same sum increases by Rs.180. The sum is ?

A) Rs. 540	B) Rs. 415
C) Rs. 404	D) Data is not sufficient

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Data is not sufficient

Explanation:

Let the sum be Rs. p, rate be R% p.a. and time be T years.

Then,

$(\frac{P \times T \times (R + 2)}{100}) - (\frac{P \times T \times R}{100}) = 108 \Rightarrow 2 P T = 10800 . . . . . . (1)$

And,

$(\frac{P \times R \times (T + 2)}{100}) - (\frac{P \times R \times T}{100}) = 180 \Rightarrow 2 P R = 18000 . . . . . . (2)$

Clearly, from (1) and (2), we cannot find the value of p
So, the data is not sufficient.

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.

Q:

What will be the ratio of simple interest earned by certain amount at the same rate of interestfor 4 years and 6 years ?

A) 1:2	B) 2:1
C) 2:3	D) 3:2

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 2:3

Explanation:

Let p be the principle amount

And R% be the rate of interest

Then, required ratio = $(\frac{\frac{P \times 4 \times R}{100}}{\frac{P \times 6 \times R}{100}})$

$\Rightarrow \frac{4 P R}{6 P R}$ = 2:3
