b) Rs.1020
c) Rs.1060
d) Rs.1200
Answers & Solutions:
1) Answer (C)
The sum that was returned is same in both cases that means interest accrued is same in both cases.
Assume that the duration is ‘t’ years for which amount is borrowed in both case and principal amount is ‘P’.
$\frac{P*(t-0.5)*10} {100}$ = $\frac{P*t*8} {100}$
t=2.5 years
Principal amount that the enterprise borrowed :
$P(1+\frac{2*10}{100})$ =62100
P=51750
2) Answer (E)
Rs. 15 lakhs is to be divided equally.
In the case of the younger son,
Principal = Rs. 750000, time = 9 years and Interest = Rs. 1350000
Rate of interest = $\dfrac{1350000 * 100}{750000 * 9}$ = 20%
In the case of the elder son,
Principal = Rs. 750000, time = 6 years and Interest = Rs. 1350000
Rate of interest = $\dfrac{1350000 * 100}{750000 * 6}$ = 30%
Hence, option E is the correct answer.
3) Answer (A)
Simple Interest = $\ \frac{\ P\cdot T\cdot r}{100}$ where P is the principal, T is the time period and r is the rate of interest.
The simple interest accrued on a sum of certain principal in 8 years at the rate of 13% per year is Rs.6500
6500=$\ \frac{\ P\times\ 8\times\ 13}{100}$
P = Rs. 6250
Compound Interest on 6250 for 2 years at 8% rate of interest = 6250$\left(1+\ \frac{\ 8}{100}\right)^2$- 6250
= Rs. 1040
A is the correct answer.
4) Answer: 20920
The amount with Amal at the end of 1 year = 12000*1.08+10000*1.03*1.03=23569
Interest received by Amal = 23569-22000=1569
Let the amount invested by Bimal = 100b
Interest received by Bimal = 100b*7.5*1/100=7.5b
It is given that the amount of interest received by both of them is the same
7.5b=1569
b=209.2
Amount invested by Bimal = 100b = 20920
5) Answer (A)
For the first year, amount = 1200000*0.08
for the second year = 1152000*0.08
On similar lines for the twenty-fifth year = 48000*0.08
This is in AP with first term 48000*0.08 with common difference 3840
Total interest = $\ \frac{\ 25}{2}\left(2\times\ 48000\cdot0.08+24\cdot3840\right)$
=1248000
A is the correct answer.
6) Answer (D)
If P is the principal and r is the rate of interest, then the difference between simple interest and compound interest for 2 years = $\ \frac{\ \Pr^2}{100^2}$
It is given that the difference is Rs 50 and the rate of interest is 5% per annum.
Principle P = Rs. 20000
Amount at the end of 3 years = $P\left(1+\ \frac{\ 5}{100}\right)^3$
= $20000\left(1+\ \frac{\ 5}{100}\right)^3$
= Rs.23152.5
D is the correct answer.
7) Answer (D)
If P is the principal and r is the rate of interest, then the difference between simple interest and compound interest for 2 years = $\ \frac{\ \Pr^2}{100^2}$
It is given that the difference is Rs 50 and the rate of interest is 5% per annum.
Principle P = Rs. 20000
Amount at the end of 3 years = $P\left(1+\ \frac{\ 5}{100}\right)^3$
= $20000\left(1+\ \frac{\ 5}{100}\right)^3$
= Rs.23152.5
D is the correct answer.
8) Answer (C)
Let the amount invested in X = x
Thus, the amount invested in Y = 25000-x
The interest incurred = 3518 Rs, thus the total amount at the end of the 2nd year = 28518 Rs.
Thus, $x*(1.06)^2 + (25000-x)*(1.08)^2 = 28518$
=> $x*1.1236 + 25000*1.11664 – x*1.11664 = 28518$
=> $-0.0428x + 29160 = 28518$
=> $ 642 = 0.0428x$
Hence, $x = 15000 Rs$
Hence, option C is the correct answer.
9) Answer (C)
Hi total gain = 5%
Thus, the amount at the end of 3 years = 105 lakh Rupees
The amount he gets from the bank = $30(1.12)^2 = 42.14784$ lakh rupees
Let x be the percentage at which he sells the assets of worth 70 lakhs
Thus, the amount he gets = 0.7x lakhs
Thus, 70x + 42.1478 = 105
Thus, 70x = 62.8525
Thus, x is closest to 0.90= 90%
Hence, option C is the correct answer.
10) Answer (A)
Simple Interest = $\ \frac{\ P\cdot T\cdot r}{100}$ where P is the principal, T is the time period and r is the rate of interest.
The simple interest accrued on a sum of certain principal in 8 years at the rate of 13% per year is Rs.6500
6500=$\ \frac{\ P\times\ 8\times\ 13}{100}$
P = Rs. 6250
Compound Interest on 6250 for 2 years at 8% rate of interest = 6250$\left(1+\ \frac{\ 8}{100}\right)^2$- 6250
= Rs. 1040
A is the correct answer.
