Solutions

Solution 1: Ans. B.

Interest in 4 years = 5% × 4 = 20% of the Principal

Hence, Interest = 20% × 1000 = Rs 200

Amount = 1000 + 200 = Rs 1200

Hence, option B is the correct answer.

Solution 2: Ans. A.

Simple Interest = Rs. 2040

Principal = Rs. 8500

Solution 4: Ans. D.

Let rate be r%

Interest on first = r% of (6000×3) = 180r

Interest on second = r% of (8000×5) = 400r

Now, according to question:

5220 = 180r + 400r

r = 5220/580 = 9%

Solution 5: Ans. C.

At SI: total interest rate in two years = 20%

At CI: total Interest rate in two years = 10 + 10 + (10×10)/100 = 21%

Now 20% = Rs. 2000

⇒ 1% = Rs.100

Thus, Difference between CI and SI = 21% - 20% = 1% = Rs.100

Solution 6: Ans. B.

Difference in the simple interest in 5 years = 2×5 = 10%

Given, 10% of the Amount = Rs 300

Hence, the amount = 300×10 = Rs 3000

Solution 7:

Solution 8: Ans. B.
