a) 8%

b) 9%

c) 5%

d) 7%

a) ₹800

b) ₹750

c) ₹1,000

d) ₹1,250

Question 10: The simple interest for the second year on a certain sum at a certain rate of interest is ₹ 1000. What is the sum of the interest accrued on it for the $6^{th}, 7^{th}$ and $8^{th}$ years?

a) ₹3200

b) ₹3300

c) ₹3000

d) ₹3630

$P(1+\frac{R}{100})^{3}$=119790

$P(1+\frac{10}{100})^{3}$=119790

$P(\frac{11}{10})^{3}$=119790

P=119790*1000/1331
P=Rs 90000

P=18750

1st year = 4%

2nd year = 8%

Interest for 1st year $= \frac{18750\times 4\times 1}{100} = 750$

Principal after 1st year $= 18750+750 = 19500$

Interest for 2nd year $=\frac{19500\times 8\times 1}{100} = 1560$

Total interest = 750+1560 = 2310

Option D is correct.

$P(1+\frac{R/2}{100})^{2n}-P$=2648
$(1+\frac{R/2}{100})^{2n}-1=2648/8000 4) Answer (A)$PTR/100$=2000$PR$=200000$P(1+\frac{R}{100}^{2})-P$=4160$P((200+R)(R))$=4160 Dividing both the equations we have 1/(R+200) =20/4160 R+200=208 R=8% 5) Answer (A) In compound interest, Final amount,A$=P(1+r/n)^nt$. where P is principal amount,r is rate of interest,n is number of times interest applied and t is number of times period elapsed. So,interest gain$=A-P.$So,$P(1+0.12/2)^2-P=1545.$or,$P×1.1236-P=1545.$or,$P=(1545/0.1236).$or,$P=12500.$A is correct choice. 6) Answer (D) SI= (P*R*T)/100 Given , P= 800 RS T= 8 years SI= Amount – P= 1200-800 = 400 Rs SI = (400*R*8)/100 R = (25/4) or 6.25 Now, given , T= 6 Years, P = 800 Rs, R= 6.25% SI = (800*6*6.25)/100 = ₹300 7) Answer (B) Simple Interest (SI) is given as =$\frac{PRT}{100}$, where P is Principle amount, R is Rate of Interest,T is Time period Here, P = 2000, R = 10 % So, SI =$\frac{(2000)(10)(3)}{100}$= 600 Hence the total amount will be SI + P = 2000 + 600 = 2600. 8) Answer (D) Let the rate of interest be R%. Simple Interest = Rs.5082 – Rs.4200 = Rs.882$\dfrac{4200\times R\times3}{100} = 882$=> 3R = 21 => R = 7 Therefore, Rate of interest = 7% 9) Answer (C) Let the principal be Rs.10000x Simple Interest for 1 year at 6% per annum = Rs.600x Simple Interest for 2 years at 6% per annum = Rs.600*2 = Rs.1200x Amount of Compound Interest for 2 years at 6% per annum =$10000x \times \dfrac{106}{100} \times \dfrac{106}{100} = Rs.11236x
Compound Interest = Rs.11236x – Rs.10000x = Rs.1236x
Difference between SI and CI = 1236x – 1200x = Rs.36x
Given, 36x = Rs.3.6
=> x = 0.1
Therefore, Principal = Rs.10000x = Rs.10000*0.1 = Rs.1000
