A certain sum is invested at simple interest at 18% p.a. for two years instead of investing at 12% p.a. for the same time period. Therefore the interest received is more by Rs. 840. Find the sum?

Answer»

Rs. 7000



Let the SUM be Rs. x.

(x * 18 * 2)/100 - (x * 12 * 2)/100 = 840 => 36x/100 - 24x/100 =840

=> 12x/100 = 840 => x = 7000.

18x + 45X + 39x = (8160 * 100)

102x = 816000 => x = 8000.

A sum of money amounts to Rs 9800 after 5 years and Rs 12005 after 8 years at the same rate of simple interest. The rate of interest per annum is

Answer»

12%



We can get SI of 3 years = 12005 - 9800 = 2205

SI for 5 years = (2205/3)*5 = 3675 [so that we can get principal amount after DEDUCTING SI]

Principal = 12005 - 3675 = 6125 

So, RATE = (100*3675)/(6125*5) = 12%

A sum of money lent at simple interest amounts to Rs. 2150 in 6 years and Rs. 2900 in 11 years. What is the rate per cent per annum ?

Answer»

12%



LET the sum be x and rate of interest be R% p.a
I. 2150 = x + x x r x 6/100 = x [1 + 3r/50]
II. 2900 = x + x x r x 11/100 = x [1 + 11r/100]
Eqn (I) ÷ (II) gives,
1 + 3r/50/1 + 11r/100 = 2150/2900
∴ 50 + 3r/100 + 11r = 43/116
∴ 5800 + 348r = 4300 + 473r
∴ 125r = 1500
∴ r = 12

Answer»

xy + 5X/10 - xy/10 = 600
xy + 5x - xy/10 = 600
x = 600x10/5
= 1200

A sum of Rs. 4000 amounts to Rs. 4600 in 5 years at a certain rate of simple interest. What would be the amount, if the rate of interest is increased by 3 %.

Answer»

RS. 5200



Principal = Rs. 4000, Amount = Principal + SI = Rs. 4600
SI = Amount – Principal = 4600 – 4000 = Rs. 600
Given : Principal = Rs. 4000, Time = T = 5 YEARS and SI = Rs. 600
SI =PRT/100
600 = 4000 *R * 5/100
600 = 200R
R = 3 % p.a. 
Now the NEW interest rate is = 3% + 3% = 6 % p.a.
SI = PRT/ 100 = 4000 * 6 * 5/ 100 = Rs. 1200
Amount = Principal + SI 
= 4000 + 1200 
= 5200 Rs.

David invested certain amount in three different schemes. A, B and C with the rate of interest 10% p.a., 12% p.a. and 15% p.a. respectively. If the total interest accrued in one year was Rs. 3200 and

Answer»

Rs. 5000



Let X, y and z be the amount invested in schemes A, B and C respectively. Then,

(x * 10 * 1)/100 + (y * 12 * 1)/100 + (z * 15 * 1)/100 = 3200

10x + 12y + 15z = 320000

Now, z = 240% of y = 12/5 y

And, z = 150% of x = 3/2 x

x = 2/3 z = ( 2/3 * 12/5) y = 8/5 y

16y+ 12y + 36Y = 320000

y = 5000

Sum invested in scheme B = Rs. 5000.
