A sum of money at simple interest amounts to Rs. 2240 in 2 years and to Rs. 2600 in 5 years. What is the principal amount

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:

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

So by putting values from our question we can get the answer

\begin{aligned}
P = \frac{4016.25 * 100}{9*5} \\
= 8925
\end{aligned}

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 A

Explanation:

S.I. = 956 - 800 = Rs 156

\begin{aligned}
R = \frac{156*100}{800*3} \\
R = 6\frac{1}{2}\% \\

\text{ New Rate = }6\frac{1}{2}+4 \\
= \frac{21}{2} \% \\

\text{ New S.I. = }800\times\frac{21}{2}\times{3}{100} \\
= 252
\end{aligned}

Now amount will be 800 + 252 = 1052

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Let the sum is 100.

As financier includes interest every six months., then we will calculate SI for 6 months, then again for six months as below:

SI for first Six Months = (100*10*1)/(100*2) = Rs. 5

Important: now sum will become 100+5 = 105

SI for last Six Months = (105*10*1)/(100*2) = Rs. 5.25

So amount at the end of year will be (100+5+5.25)
= 110.25

Effective rate = 110.25 - 100 = 10.25
