A - 4 years

B - 5 years

C - 25/4 years

D - 26/3 years

Answer : C

Explanation

Let the Required period of time be x years. Then,
500*4*625/100 = 20*x=> x= 6.25 =625/100= 25/4 years.

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:

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 - The distinction between the basic interests got from two unique sources on Rs 1500 for a long time is Rs 13.50. The contrast between their rates of interest is:

A - 0.1%

B - 0.2%

C - 0.3%

D - 0.4%

Answer : C

Explanation

Let the rates of interest be x% p.a. Then,
(1500*x/100*3) ? (1500*y/100*3) =27/2
45(x-y) =27/2 => (x-y) = (27/2* 1/45)=3/10=0.3
Required difference = 0.3%

Q 4 - Rs. 6000 adds up to Rs. 7920 in 4 years at a sure rate of interest. On the off chance that the rate gets to be 1.5 times of itself, the measure of the same rule in 5 years will be:

A - Rs. 9240

B - Rs. 9600

C - Rs. 9000

D - Rs. 9450

Answer : B

Explanation

P = Rs. 6000, S.I = Rs. (7920-6000) = Rs. 1920, T= 4 years.
R = (100*1920/6000*4) = 8% p.a.
New rate = (1.5*8) % p.a. = 12% p.a.
Now = Rs. 6000, R= 12% p.a. and T = 5 years.
S.I = Rs. (6000*12/100*5) = Rs.3600
Amount = (6000+3600) = Rs. 9600.

Q 5 - An entirety of Rs. 10 is loaned to be returned in 11 regularly scheduled payments of Rs. 1 every interest being basic. The rate of interest is?

D - 240/11%

Answer : D

Explanation

Rs. 10+ S.I on Rs. 10 for 11 months.
= Rs. 11+S.I. on Re 1 for (1+2+3+??+10) months.
=> Rs.10 +S.I on Re 1 for 110 months = Rs. 11 + S.I on Re 1 for 55 months
=> S.I. on Re 1 for 55 months = Re 1.
∴ Rate = (100*12/1*55) % = 240/11 %.

Q 6 - What interest will be had on Rs 450 in 2 years if an interest of Rs 0.40 is charged on Rs 1 for 4 years

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.
