A financier claims to be lending money at simple interest, But he includes the interest every six months for calculating the principal. If he is charging an interest of 10%, the effective rate of interest becomes.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let the present worth be Rs.x
Then,S.I.= Rs.(132 - x)

=› (x*5*2/100) = 132 - x

=› 10x = 13200 - 100x

=› 110x = 13200

x= 120

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

We can get SI of 3 years = 12005 - 9800 = 2205

SI for 5 years = (2205/3)*5 = 3675 [so that we can get principal amount after deducting SI]

Principal = 12005 - 3675 = 6125

So Rate = (100*3675)/(6125*5) = 12%

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
\text{S.I.} = \frac{P*R*T}{100} \\
=> R = \frac{S.I. * 100}{P*T}
\end{aligned}

So, S.I = 15500 - 12500 = 3000.

\begin{aligned}
=> R = \frac{3000 * 100}{12500*4} = 6\%
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let rate = R% then Time = R years.
\begin{aligned}
=> \frac{1200*R*R}{100}=432 \\
=> R^2 = 36 \\
=> R = 6\%

\end{aligned}

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Here firstly we need to calculate the principal amount, then we can calculate the new rate.

\begin{aligned}
P = \frac{S.I. * 100}{R*T} \\
P = \frac{840 * 100}{5*8} \\
P = 2100 \\

\text{Required Rate = } \frac{840 * 100}{5*2100} \\
R = 8\%\\

\end{aligned}
