Simple interest


  1. Find the sum of money will amount to Rs 900 in 4 years at 5 % per annum on simple interest?









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Let the sum of money be Rs y
    So Amount = y +[( y x 5 x 4 )/100]

    Correct Option: A

    Let the sum of money be Rs y
    So Amount = y +[( y x 5 x 4 )/100]
    But Amount = Rs 900
    ⇒ 900 = y +(20y)/100
    ⇒ 900 = 6y / 5
    ⇒ y = ( 900 x 5) /6
    = Rs 750


  1. A certain sum amounts to Rs 1586 in 2 year and Rs 1729 in 3 year. Find the rate and the sum.

    Simple Interest in 1 year= Rs (1729 - 1586)
    = Rs 143

    And R= (100 × SI)/(P × T)
    where, R = rate
    SI= Simple Interest
    P = Principal
    T= Time

    Correct Option: D

    Simple Interest in 1 year= Rs (1729 - 1586)
    = Rs 143
    now, SI in 2 year = Rs 286

    Principal P= Rs(1586 - 286)
    = 1300
    And R= (100 × SI)/(P × T)
    = (100 × 143)/(1300 × 1)
    = 11 %
    where, R = rate
    SI= Simple Interest
    P = Principal
    T= Time

    Let the amount instalment be Rs ' x '
    Then According to question,
    (Amount of 'x' for 3 yrs) + (Amount of 'x' for 2 yrs) + (Amount of 'x' for 1 yrs) + x =3220

    Correct Option: C

    Let the amount instalment be Rs ' x '
    Then According to question,
    (Amount of 'x' for 3 yrs) + (Amount of 'x' for 2 yrs) + (Amount of 'x' for 1 yrs) + x =3220
    or, [x+(x × 10 × 3)/100] + [x+(x × 10 × 2)/100] + [x+(x × 10 × 1)/100] + x=3220
    ⇒ 4x+ (30x/100)+(20x/100)+(10x/100)=3220
    ⇒ 460x=322000
    ⇒ x=Rs 700

    ∴ Each Instalment= Rs 700


  1. At what rate percent per annum will a sum of money double in 8 yr?









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Amount A = 2 × P
    where , P = Principal

    Rate R = (100 × SI)/(P × T)
    where , SI= Simple Interest
    T= Time

    Correct Option: B

    Let Sum = P, Then SI=P
    As Amount A = 2 × P
    where , P = Principal

    Rate R = (100 × SI)/(P × T)
    = (100 × P)/(P × 8) %
    = 12.5 %
    where , SI= Simple Interest
    T= Time



  1. In what time will the simple interest on Rs 400 at 10% per annum be the same as the simple interest on Rs 1000 for 4 year at 4 % per annum?









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Simple Interest = (Principal × Rate × Time)/100

    Correct Option: C

    Here , P= Rs 1000
    T= 4 yrs
    R= 4 %
    where, P= Principal
    T= Time
    R= Rate
    Since , Simple Interest on Rs 1000=(1000 × 4 × 4)/100
    = Rs 160

    now, simple interest=Rs 160
    P = Rs 400
    R = 10 %
    then, T=(100 × SI)/P × R
    = (100 × 160)/(400 × 10)
    = 4 yr
