What is the present worth of Rs. 132 due in 2 years at 5% simple interest per annum

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

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:

\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 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 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}
