A) 960 B) 1000

Total teachers = 5

Number of coupons each student got = 15 x 80/100 = 12

Number of coupons each teacher got = 25 x 80/100 = 20

Q:

A sum of Rs. 2600 is lent out into two parts, one at 9% and another at 7% if the total annual income is Rs. 206, find the money lent at 7%.

A) Rs. 1400 B) Rs. 900
C) Rs. 1600 D) Rs. 1200
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 1400

Explanation:

Money lent at 9% = x
Money lent at 7% = (2600 – x)
⇒ 9x/100 + (2600 – x) X 7 /100 = 206
⇒ 9x + 18200 – 7x = 20600
⇒ 2x = 2400
⇒ x = 1200
Money lent at 7% = 2600-1200 = 1400

What is the rate of interest per year ?

Statements :

1. The amount invested is Rs. 6000.
2. The amount becomes Rs. 6741.60 in 2 years at compound interest.
3. The difference between compound interest and simple interest in 2 years is Rs. 21.60.

A) Only 3 B) Both 2 & 3
C) Any two of (1, 2 & 3) D) None
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Any two of (1, 2 & 3)

Explanation:

Using Both 1 & 2 statements we get the rate of interest as in (1) we have given principle amount and in (2) compound interest for 2 years. By this data we get the rate%.

Using Both 1 & 3 statements we can get the rate% as we have principle amount & difference between compound interest and simple interest in 2 years.

Using Both 2 & 3 statements we get compound interest & simple interest by which we get principle amount. So that we can calculate %rate.

Hence by using any two of the three statements(1,2&3) we get rate of interest.
