A. Rs.18,828.80
B. Rs.19,828.80
C. Rs.18,028.80
D. Rs.17,828.80

Answer

Correct Answer: B. Rs.19,828.80


Detail About MCQs

Let the sum be Rs.P

P{ [ 1 + 8/100]2 – 1 } = 2828.80
P(8/100)(2 + 8/100) = 2828.80 [a2 – b2 = (a – b) ( a + b)] P = 2828.80 / (0.08)(2.08) = 1360/0.08 = 17000 Principal + Interest = Rs. 19828.80

Detail About MCQs

CI = 14800{ [ 1 + 13.5/100]2 – 1 }

= 14800 { [1 + 27/200]2 – 1
= 14800 { 2 + 27/200}{27/200}
= (74)[2 + 27/200](27) =
1998[2 + 27/200] = 3996 + 269.73 = Rs. 4266

Jameel invested an amount of Rs.17400 for two years. Find the rate of compound interest that will fetch him an amount of Rs.1783.50 at the end of two years?

A. 8% p.a
B. 6% p.a
C. 4% p.a
D. 5% p.a

Answer

Correct Answer: D. 5% p.a


Detail About MCQs

Let the rate of interest be R% p.a.

17400[1 + R/100]2 = 17400 + 1783.50
[1 + R/100]2 = (17400 + 1783.50)/17400
= 1 + 1025/10000 = 1 + 41/400
= 441/400 = [21/20]2
[1 + R/100] = 21/20
R/100 = 1/20
Therefore R = 5

Compound interest earned on a sum for the second and the third years are Rs.1200 and Rs.1440 respectively. Find the rate of interest?

A. 18% p.a
B. 22% p.a
C. 20% p.a
D. 24% p.a

Answer

Correct Answer: C. 20% p.a


Detail About MCQs

Rs.1440 – 1200 = Rs.240 is the interest on Rs.1200 for one year.

Rate of interest = (100 * 240) / (100 * 1) = 20% p.a

A sum of Rs.4800 is invested at a compound interest for three years, the rate of interest being 10% p.a., 20% p.a. and 25% p.a. for the 1st, 2nd and the 3rd years respectively. Find the interest received at the end of the three years.

A. Rs.2520
B. Rs.3120
C. Rs.3320
D. Rs.2760

Answer

Correct Answer: B. Rs.3120


Detail About MCQs

Let A be the amount received at the end of the three years.

A = 4800[1 + 10/100][1 + 20/100][1 + 25/100]
A = (4800 * 11 * 6 * 5)/(10 * 5 * 4)
A = Rs.7920
So the interest = 7920 – 4800 = Rs.3120

A man gets a simple interest of Rs.500 on a certain principal at the rate of 5% p.a in two years. Find the compound interest the man will get on twice the principal in two years at the same rate.

A. Rs.500
B. Rs.250
C. Rs.5012.50
D. None of these

Answer

Correct Answer: D. None of these


Detail About MCQs

Let the principal be Rs.P

S.I at 5% p.a in 8 years on Rs.P = Rs.500
(P)(8)(5)/100 = 500
P = 1250
C.I on Rs.2P i.e., Rs.2500 at 5% p.a in two years
= 2500{ [1 + 5/100]2 – 1} = 2500{ 212 – 202 /202}
= 2500/400(441 – 400)
= 25/4(41) = 1025/4 = Rs.256.25

The simple interest accrued on an amount of Rs.49500 at he end of three is Rs.17820. What would be the compound interest accured on the same amount at teh same rate in the same period? (Round off your answer to two decimal places)

A. Rs.20043.94
B. Rs.18654.81
C. Rs.20264.46
D. Rs.19612.41

Answer

Correct Answer: A. Rs.20043.94


Detail About MCQs

Let the rate of interest be R% p.a.

(49500)(3)(R)/100 = 17820
495R = 5940
R = 12
CI on Rs.49500 at 12% p.a. for three years
= 49500{[1 + 12/100]3 – 1} = 69543.936 – 49500 = Rs.20043.94
when rounded off to two decimal places.

The compound interest accrued on an amount of Rs.44000 at the end of two years is Rs.1193.60. What would be the simple interest accrued on the same amount at the same rate in the same period?

A. Rs.10,840
B. Rs.10,720
C. Rs.10,560
D. Rs.10,280

Answer

Correct Answer: C. Rs.10,560


Detail About MCQs

Let the rate of interest be R% p.a.

4400{[1 + R/100]2 – 1} = 11193.60
[1 + R/100]2 = (44000 + 11193.60)/44000
[1 + R/100]2 = 1 + 2544/1000 = 1 + 159/625
[1 + R/100]2 = 784/625 = (28/25)2
1 + R/100 = 28/25
R/100 = 3/25
Therefore R = 12 SI on Rs.44000 at 12% p.a. for two years = 44000(2)(12)/100
=Rs.10560
