Q:

The interest on a certain deposit at 4.5% p.a. is Rs. 202.50 in one year. How much will the additional interest in one year be on the same deposit at 5% p.a.  ?

A) Rs. 22.5 B) Rs. 2.5
C) Rs. 202 D) Rs. 25
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 22.5

Explanation:

We know that I = PTR/100
=> P = 20250/4.5 = 4500
Now, new Interest at 5% = 4500x1x5/100 = 225
Now the additional amount = 225 - 202.5 = Rs. 22.5

Q:

A,B and C enter into a partnership in the ratio  72:43:65. After 4 months, A increases his share by 50%. If the total profit at the end of one year be Rs. 21600, then B's share in the profit is :

A) Rs. 4000 B) Rs. 6000
C) Rs. 9000 D) Rs. 3000
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 4000

Explanation:

Given ratio of initial investments = 72:43:65 = 105 : 40 : 36.

 Let the initial investments be 105x, 40x and 36x.

 

A:B:C = 105x×4 + 150100×105x×8 : 40x×12 : 36x×12  

               = 1680x : 480x : 432x = 35 : 10 : 9.

 

Hence, B's share = 21600×1054 = Rs. 4000.
