Q:

A certain sum amounts to Rs.7350 in 2 years and to Rs.8575 in 3 years.find the sum and rate percent

A) 3400 B) 4400
C) 5400 D) 6400
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 5400

Explanation:

Interest for 1 year is the same whether it's simple interest or the compound interest.

Now interest of third year = 8575 - 7350 = 1225; means principal for this interest is 7350 if comound interest is takenIf 7350 is the principal interest = 1225

if 100 is the principal interest =(1225/7350) * 100 = 50/3 %

When a thing increases for two successive times the overall increase on initial amount = a + b + (a * b)/100

Therefore overall interest for two years = 50/3 + 50/3 + [(50/3)*(50/3)]/100 = 325/9 %

Therefore amount after 2 years = 100 + 325/9 = 1225/9

If 1225/9 is the amount principal =100

if 7350 is the amount principal =(900/1225)*7350 =5400

So sum = 5400; Rate = 50/3 %
