The simple interest on a certain sum of money at the rate of 5% p.a. for 8 years is Rs. 840. At what rate of intrest the same amount of interest can be received on the same sum after 5 years.

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 D

Explanation:

We need to calculate the profit of B.
It will be,
SI on the rate B lends - SI on the rate B gets

\begin{aligned}
\text{Gain of B}\\ &= \frac{3500\times11.5\times3}{100} - \frac{3500\times10\times3}{100}\\
= 157.50
\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 C

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
\text{ S.I. = } \frac{P \times R \times T}{100}
\end{aligned}
So, by putting the values in the above formula, our result will be.
\begin{aligned}
\text{ Required result = } \frac{7000 \times 50 \times 9}{3 \times 12 \times 100} = 875
\end{aligned}

[Please note that we have divided by 12 as we converted 9 months in a year format]

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}
