Shubhranshu deposited Rs 8000 at simple interest which amounted to Rs 9200 after 3 years . Had the interest been 2% more, how much amount she would have got?
Rs 9272
Rs 9680
Rs 1680
Answer with explanation
Answer: Option CExplanation
—-> Amount = simple interest + principal
—-> 9200 = simple interest + 8000
—-> simple interest = 9200 – 8000
—-> = Rs 1200
—-> if r % be the rate of interest ,
—-> Then from, simple interest = ((principal * rate% * time)/100)
—-> 1200 = ((8000 * r * 3)/100)
—-> r = 5%
—-> 2% more interest that is 7% interest
—-> simple interest = ((8000 * 7 * 3)/100)
—-> = Rs 1680
—-> thus amount he will get is Rs 8000 + Rs 1680 = Rs 9680

A certain sum of money at simple interest amounts to Rs. 1260 in 2 years and to Rs. 1350 in 5 years. The rate percent per annum is?
4.50 %
3.50 %
2.50 %
1.50 %
Answer with explanation
Answer: Option CExplanation
A certain sum of money at simple interest amounts to Rs.1260 in 2 years
The same sum of money at simple interest amounts to Rs.1350 in 5 years
Formula used:
S.I = ( P × N × R)/100
Calculation:
Let the Principal be P
S.I for 3 years = 1350 – 1260 = Rs.90
⇒ S.I for 1 year = 90/3 = Rs.30
⇒ S.I for 2 years = 30 × 2 = Rs.60
∴ Principal, P = 1260 – 60 = Rs.1200
Now,
S.I = ( P × N × R)/100
60 = (1200 × 2 × R)/100
∴ R = (60 × 100)/(1200 × 2) = 2.50%
∴ Rate of interest is 2.50%

Mr. Thomas invested an amount of 13,900 divided in two different schemes A and B at the simple interest rate of 14% p.a. and 11% p.a. respectively. If the total amount of simple interest earned in 2 years be 3508, what was the amount invested in Scheme B?
7500
6500
6400
7200
Answer with explanation
Answer: Option CExplanation
Explanation: Let the sum invested in Scheme A be x and that in Scheme B be (13900 – x).
Then, (x x 14 x 2)/100 + ((13900 – x) x 11 x 2)/100 = 3508
28x – 22x = 350800 – (13900 x 22)
6x = 45000
x = 7500.
So, sum invested in Scheme B = (13900 – 7500) = 6400.

The SI on certain sum of money for 23 months at the rate of 7% per annum exceeds the SI on the same sum at 7% per annum for 19 months by Rs. 672. Then find the sum
Rs. 18600
Rs. 16800
Rs. 24400
Rs. 28800
Answer with explanation
Answer: Option DExplanation
Let the sum be P.
—> Then, ((P * 7 * 23)/12 * 100) – ((P * 7 * 19)/ 12 * 100 ) = 672
—> or, 161P – 133P = 672 * 100 * 12
—> P = ((672 * 100 * 12)/28) = Rs. 28800

A certain total of cash gets to be three times of itself in20 years at basic premium. In how long does it turns out to be twofold of itself at the same rate?
12 years
8 years
10 years
14 years
Answer with explanation
Answer: Option CExplanation
Let the sum be Rs. x. Then, S.I in 20 years = Rs. (3x-x) = Rs.2x Rate = (100*S.I/ R*T) = (100*2x/x*20) % P.a. = 10% P.a. Now, sum = Rs. x, Rate = 10% P.a., S.I = Rs. x. ∴ Time = (100*s.I/ P*R) = (100*x/x*10) years = 10 years.

We will not count the day when the money is deposited we will only count the day when the money is withdrawn.
Now we will calculate the number of days:
Time = (24+31+18) days = 73/365 years = 1/5 years
P = 3000
R = 25/4%
Simple Interest =(3000×25)/(4×5×100)=37.50

A sum of Rs. 2665 is lent into two parts so that the interest on the first part for 8 years at 3% per annum may be equal to the interest on the second part for 3 years at 5% per annum. Find the second sum?
Rs.1678
Rs.1640
Rs.1650
Rs.1630
Answer with explanation
Answer: Option BExplanation
let x is the first part of amount
(x*8*3)/100 = ((2665 – x)*3*5)/100
24x/100 = 39975/100 – 15x/100
39x = 39975
x = 1025
Second sum = 2665 – 1025 = 1640

Find the compound interest accrued on the principal of Rs. 4000 at the end of 2 years at 10 % per annum.
820 Rs
830 Rs
840 Rs
810 Rs
Answer with explanation
Answer: Option CExplanation
Principal = Rs. 4000, t= 2 years , rate of percent, r = 10 %
Amount = P(1 + r/100)^t = 4000 x (1 + 10/100)^2 = 4000 x (11/10) x (11/10) = 40 x 121 = 4840 Rs.
Amount = Principal + CI => 4000 + CI = 4840 => CI = 840 Rs.
