  1. A sum of money amounts to Rs. 850 in 3 years and Rs. 925 in 4 year. The sum is ?









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    S.I for 1 year = Rs. (925 - 850) = Rs. 75
    S.I for 3 year = Rs. (75 x 3) = Rs. 225

    Correct Option: C

    S.I for 1 year = Rs. (925 - 850) = Rs. 75
    S.I for 3 year = Rs. (75 x 3) = Rs. 225
    ∴ Sum = Rs. (850 - 225) = Rs. 625


  1. If Rs. 64 amount to Rs. 83.20 in 2 years. What will Rs. 86 amount to in 4 years at the same rate percent per annum ?

    S.I on Rs. 64 for 2 year = Rs. 19.20
    ∴ Rate = (100 x SI) / (P x T) = (100 x 19.20) / (64 x 2) = 15%
    ∴ S.I On Rs. 86 for 4 year = (P x R x T) / 100 = Rs. (86 x 4 x 15 ) /100 = Rs.51.60

    Correct Option: A

    S.I on Rs. 64 for 2 year = Rs. 19.20
    ∴ Rate = (100 x SI) / (P x T) = (100 x 19.20) / (64 x 2) = 15%
    ∴ S.I On Rs. 86 for 4 year = (P x R x T) / 100 = Rs. (86 x 4 x 15 ) /100 = Rs.51.60
    ∴ Amount of Rs. 86 after 4 years = Rs. (86 + 51.60) = Rs. 137.60



  1. A sum of money amounts to Rs. 702 in 2 years and Rs. 783 in 3 years. The rate percent is ?

    S.I. for 1 year = Rs. (783 - 702) = Rs 81
    S.I. for 2 years = Rs. (81 x 2) = Rs. 162
    ∴ Sum = Rs. (702 - 162) = Rs. 540
    ∴ Required rate = = (100 x SI) / (P x T) = (100 x 162) / (540 x 2) % = 15%

    Correct Option: D

    S.I. for 1 year = Rs. (783 - 702) = Rs 81
    S.I. for 2 years = Rs. (81 x 2) = Rs. 162
    ∴ Sum = Rs. (702 - 162) = Rs. 540
    ∴ Required rate = = (100 x SI) / (P x T) = (100 x 162) / (540 x 2) % = 15%


  1. Mr. Patel borrowed Rs. 8000 from Mr. Chobey at simple interest. After 2 years he paid Rs. 800 more than what be borrowed and thus cleared the loan. What was the rate of interest ?

    Rate = (Interest x 100) / (Principal x Time)

    Correct Option: C

    Rate = (Interest x 100) / (Principal x Time)
    = (800 x 100) / (8000 x 2)
    = 5%



  1. If the rate of simple interest is 12% per annum the amount that would fetch interest of Rs 6000 per annum is ?

    Let 'P' is the principal
    SI= (P x R x T)/100
    where , SI= Simple Interest
    T= Time
    R= Rate

    Correct Option: C

    Rate of Interest = 12% per annum
    Simple Interest =Rs 6000 per annum
    Let 'P' is the principal
    SI= (P x R x T)/100
    where , SI= Simple Interest
    T= Time
    R= Rate

    ∴ 6000=(P x 1 x 12)/100
    ∴ P =(6000 x 100)/12
    = Rs 50000
    Hence the required amount is Rs 50000
