Q 1 - A man stored Rs 400 for a long time, Rs 550 for 4 year and Rs 1200 for 6 years. He got Rs 1020 as the aggregate simple interest. The rate of interest per annum is:
Answer : B
Explanation
Let the rate of interest be R% p.a. then, (400*R*2)/100 + (550*R*4)/100 + (1200*R*6)/100 = 1020 => 800R+2200R+7200R= 102000 => 10200R = 102000 => R = 10. Hence, the rate of interest is 10%.
Q 2 - On the off chance that the basic simple interest on a certain total of cash for 15 months at 15/2 % p.a. surpasses the basic simple interest on the same aggregate for 8 months at 25/2 p.a. by Rs 32.50. The entirety is:
Answer : C
Explanation
Let the sum be rs. x. Then, (x* 15/2 *1/100*15/12)- (x*25/2*1/100*8/12) = 65/2 => 3x/32 ?x/12 = 65/2 => 9x-8x=3120 =>x= 3120 ∴ Sum = 3120
Q 3 - In the event that the yearly rate of simple interest increments from 10% to 25/2 %, a man yearly pay increments by Rs 1250. The primary is:
Answer : C
Explanation
Let the principle be rs. x. Then, (x* 25/2*1/100*1)- (x*10/100*1) = 1250 => x/8 ?x/10 = 1250 => 5x- 4x= 50000 X= 50000. Hence, the principle is Rs. 50000.
Q 4 - What yearly installment will release an obligation of Rs 580 due in 5 years at 8% p.a.?
Answer : C
Explanation
Let the required annual installment be Rs. x. then, (Amount of Rs. x for 4 year) + (amount of Rs. x for 3 year) + (amount of Rs.x for 2 year) + (amount of Rs.x for 1 year) + Rs. x = 580 => (x+ x*8*4/100) +(x+ x*8*3/100) + (x+ x*8*2/100) + (x+ x*8*1/100) +x= 580 => (x+ 8 x/25) +(x+ 6 x/25) + (x+ 4 x/25) + (x+ 2 x/25) +x = 580 => 33x/25 + 31x/25 + 29x/25+ 27x/25+x = 580 => (33x+31x+29x+27X+25x) = 14500 =>145x = 14500 => x= 100. Required installment = Rs. 100.
Q 5 - Find the interest on Rs 5000 at 10% for 5 years.
Answer : A
Explanation
Here, P = Rs 5000, R = 10% and T = 5 years. I = (5000*10*5)/100 = 2500
Q 6 - Rs 24000 is lent out in three parts. The first part is lent out at 4% per annum for 5 years, the second at 5% for 3 years and the third at 3% for 4 years. The total interest earned on each part is equal. Find the sum in each part.
Answer : A
Explanation
P1 : P2 : P3 = 1/r1t1 : 1/r2t2 : 1/r3t3 = 1/(4*5) : 1/(5*3) : 1/(3*4) P1 : P2 : P3 = 3 : 4 : 5 Hence P1 = 24000*3/3 + 4 + 5 = Rs 6000 P2 = 24000*4/3 + 4 + 5 = Rs 8000 P3 = 24000*5/3 + 4 + 5 = Rs 10000
Q 7 - A sum of money becomes 7⁄6 of itself in 3 years at a certain rate of simple interest. The rate per annum is?
Answer : B
Explanation
Let sum be z. Then, Amount = 7z⁄6 S.I. = (7z⁄6 - 6) = z⁄6 years = 3 years. therefore Rate = 100 x z⁄z x 6 x 3 = 50⁄9 = 55⁄9
Q 8 - A money lender finds that due to fall in the annual rate of interest from 8% to 73⁄4%, his yearly income diminishes by Rs. 61.50. His capital is?
Answer : A
Explanation
Let the capital be Rs z then, z x 8 x 1⁄100 - z x 31 x⁄41⁄100 = 61.50 32z - 31z = 6150 x 4 z = 24600
Q 9 - At what rate percent per annum will a whole of cash twofold in 8 years?
Answer : B
Explanation
Let standard be Rs. P. at that point, S.I = Rs. P and time = 8 year ∴ Rate = (100*S.I)/P.T = (100*156/600*2) % p.a. = 13% p.a.
