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:

A - Rs 312

B - Rs 312.50

C - Rs 3120

D - Rs 3120.50

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 - An entirety of cash contributed at a sure rate of simple interest pairs itself in 12 years 6 months. It will treble itself at the same rate of interest for.

A - 18 years 9 months

B - 20years 8 months

C - 22 years

D - 25 years

Answer : D

Explanation

Let the sum be Rs. x. then S.I. = Rs. x, time = 25/2 years.
Rate = (100*S.I/ sum*time) = (100*x*2/x*25) % p.a.  = 8% p.a.
Now, sum = RS. x, S.I= Rs. (3x-x) = Rs. 2x, Rate= 8% p.a.
Time = (100*S.I/ sum*Rate) = (100*2x/x*8) = 25 years.

Q 4 - An acquires Rs 8000 at 12% p.a simple interest and B gets Rs 9100 at 10%p.a. simple interest . In how long will their measures of obligations be equivalent?

B - 20 years

C - 22 years

D - 24 years

Answer : C

Explanation

Let the required time be x years. Then,
8000+8000*12/100*x= 9100+9100*10/100*x
=> 50x =1100 => x= 22 years

Q 5 - With a given of rate of basic interest, the proportion of standard and measure of a sure timeframe is 4:5 , following 3 years , with the same rate of interest , the proportion of the rule and sum gets to be 5:7 , the rate of interest per annum is :

A - 4%

B - 5%

C - 6%

D - 7%

Answer : B

Explanation

After t years, let P =Rs. 4x and amount = Rs. 5x.
P + S.I for t years = Rs. 5x
P: {p+S.I for (t+3) years} = 5:7= 1: 7/5 = 4x: (7/5*4x) = 4x: 28x/5
∴ P+S.I.  For (t+3) years = Rs. 28x/5
On subtracting (i) from (ii), we get:
S.I for 3 years = Rs. (28x/5 -5x) = Rs. 3x/5
S.I on Rs. 4x for 3 years = 3x/5
∴ Rate = {(100*3x/5)/ (4x*3)} % p.a. = 5% p.a.

Q 6 - Amit invests a certain sum at 10% per annum simple interest. In how many years will it become 5 times?

A - 15 years

B - 20 years

C - 40 years

D - None of these

Answer : C

Explanation

We know,
R = 100(n - 1)/t
Or, t = 100(n - 1)/R
= 100(5 - 1)/10
= 100*4/10
= 40 years

Q 7 - A sum of money lent out at simple interest amounts to RS. 720 after 2 years and to 1020 after a further period of 5 years. The sum is?

A - 700

B - 600

C - 500

D - 710

Answer : B

Explanation

S.I. for 5 year = Rs. (1020 - 720) = 300
S.I. for 2 years = Rs. (300 x 25) = 120
Therefore Principal = (720 - 120) = 600

Q 8 - A lent Rs. 5000 to B for 2 years and Rs. 3000 to C for 4 years on simple interest at the same rate of interest and received Rs. 2200 in all from both of them as interest. The rate of interest per annum is?

A - 5%

B - 7%

C - 6%

D - 10%

Answer : D

Explanation

Let the rate be R%  p.a. Then, 5000 x R x 2100 + 3000 x R x 4100 = 2200
= 100R + 120R = 2200
R = 2200220
R = 10%

Q 9 - An entirety of Rs 600 adds up to Rs 720 in 4 years. What will it add up to if the rate of interest is expanded by 2%?

A - Rs 724

B - Rs 648

C - Rs 768

D - Rs 792

Answer : A

Explanation

P= RS. 600, S.I = Rs. (720-600) = Rs. 120, T = 4 years.
Rate = (100* 120/ 600*4) % = 5% p.a.
New rate = 7% P.a., P = Rs. 600 and T = 4 years.
S.I = Rs. (600* 7/100*4) = Rs. 168
Thus new amount will be 600 + 168 = Rs 768.
