Q:

On a sum of money, the simple interest for 2 years is Rs. 660,while the compound interest is Rs.696.30,the rate of interest being the same in both the cases. The rate of interest is

A) 10%	B) 11%
C) 12%	D) 13%

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 11%

Explanation:

Difference in C.I and S.I for 2 years

= Rs(696.30-660)

=Rs. 36.30.

S.I for one years = Rs330.

S.I on Rs.330 for 1 year =Rs. 36.30

Rate

= (100x36.30/330x1)%

= 11%

Q:

What time between 4 and 5 o'clock will the hands of a clock be at rightangle?

A) 3 5/11	B) 4 5/11
C) 5 5/11	D) 6 5/11

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 5 5/11

Explanation:

this type of problems the formulae is
(5*x + or -15)*(12/11)
Here x is replaced by the first interval of given time
here i.e 4
Case 1 : (5*x + 15)*(12/11)
(5*4 +15)*(12/11)
(20+15)*(12/11)
35*12/11=420/11=38 2/11 min.
Therefore they are right angles at 38 2/11 min .past4
Case 2 : (5*x-15)*(12/11)
(5*4-15)*(12/11)
(20-15)*(12/11)
5*12/11=60/11 min=5 5/11min
Therefore they are right angles at 5 5/11 min.past4.

Q:

The difference between the simple interest on a certain sum at the rate of 10%per annum for 2 years and compound interest which is compounded every 6 months is Rs.124.05. what is the principal sum

A) Rs.6000	B) Rs.8000
C) Rs.12000	D) none of these

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs.8000

Explanation:

Compound Interest on P at 10% for 2 years when interest is compounded half-yearly

= $P {(1 + \frac{\frac{R}{2}}{100})}^{2 T} - P = P {(1 + \frac{1}{20})}^{4} - P = P {(\frac{21}{20})}^{4} - P$

Simple Interest on P at 10% for 2 years = $\frac{P R T}{100} = \frac{P \times 10 \times 2}{100} = \frac{P}{5}$

Given that difference between compound interest and simple interest = 124.05

$P * {(\frac{21}{20})}^{4} - P - \frac{P}{5} = 124.05$

=> $P [{(\frac{21}{20})}^{4} - 1 - \frac{1}{5}] = 124.05$

P=8000
