A sum of money amounts to Rs 9800 after 5 years and Rs 12005 after 8 years at the same rate of simple interest. The rate of interest per annum is

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Let sum = x
Time = 10 years.
S.I = 2x /5, [as per question]
Rate =( (100 * 2x) / (x*5*10))%
=> Rate = 4%

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let R% be the rate of simple interest then,

from question we can conclude that

\begin{aligned}
(\frac{5000*R*2}{100}) + (\frac{3000*R*4}{100}) = 2200 \\

<=> 100R + 120R = 2200 \\
<=> R = 10\%


\end{aligned}

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let sum = x then Simple Interest = x

Rate = (100 * x) / (x * 8) = 12.5

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 D

Explanation:

Let the principal be P and rate be R

then

\begin{aligned}
\text{ratio = } [\frac{(\frac{P*R*6}{100})}{(\frac{P*R*9}{100})}] \\

= \frac{6PR}{9PR} = 2:3
\end{aligned}
