Let the sum of money be Rs.x
Total Interest = (x*2*5/100) + (x*3*8/100) = 0.34x x+0.34x => 1.34x = 13400
x = Rs.10000

A. 5 years
B. 5.5 years
C. 6 years
D. 7 years
Answer
Explanation:
I = PTR/100
8400=20000*T*7/100
T=6
5. How much time will it take for an amount of Rs. 900 to yield Rs. 81 as interest at 4.5% per annum of simple interest?
A. 2 years
B. 3 years
C. 1 year
D. 4 years
Answer
Explanation:
P = Rs.900
SI = Rs.81
T = ?
R = 4.5%
T= 100×SIPR=100×81900×4.5=2 years
6. A sum of money amounts to Rs.49440 in three years and Rs.50400 in five years at the same interest rate. Find the rate of interest per annum.
A. 10%
B. 9%
C. 9.6%
D. 8%
Answer
Explanation:
Interest for 2 years = 50400-49440 = Rs.960
Interest for 3 years = 3*960/2 = Rs.1440
Principal = 49440-1440 = Rs.48000
1440 = 48000*3*R/100
R=10%
7. Find the Simple Interest on Rs. 7500 at 11% for 2 Years and 5 months.
A. Rs.1994.25
B. Rs.1991.25
C. Rs.1992.75
D. Rs.1993.75
Answer
Explanation:
Time, T = 2 year 5 months = 29 months = 29/12 year
SI=PRT100=7500×11×(29/12)×100
=75×11×2912
=1993.75
8. Rs.20000 is invested at 11% compound interest for 2 years. Find the interest in the second year.
A. Rs.4642
B. Rs.2200
C. Rs.4400
D. Rs.2442
Answer
Explanation:
After 1 year,
A = 20000[1+(11/100)] = Rs.22200
I = Rs.2200
After 2 years,
A = 20000[1+(11/100)]^2 = Rs.24642
I = Rs.4642
Interest in the second year => 4642-2200 = Rs.2442
9. A sum fetched a total simple interest of Rs. 4016.25 at the rate of 9 p.c.p.a. in 5 years. What is the sum?
A. Rs. 4462.50
B. Rs. 8032.50
C. Rs. 8900
D. Rs. 8925
Answer
Explanation:
Principal = Rs.100 x 4016.25/(9 x 5)
= Rs. 401625/45
= Rs. 8925.
10. The difference between compound interest and simple interest on a sum of Rs.10000 for 2 years at a rate of 5% interest is
A. Rs.25
B. Rs.20
C. Rs.10
D. Rs.5
Answer
Explanation:
S.I = 10000*2*5/100 => 1000
C.I = [10000(1+(5/100))^2)] – 10000 => 1025
C.I-S.I => Rs.25
11. If the simple interest on a certain sum of money for 4 years is one–fifth of the sum, then the rate of interest per annum is
A. 4%
B. 7%
C. 6%
D. 5%
Answer
Explanation:
Let the Principal (P) be x
Then, Simple Interest (SI) = x/5
Time (T) = 4 years
Rate of interest per annum(R) = 100×SIPT=100×x5x×4=204=5%
12. Ashok took a loan of Rs. 15000 for 3 years at simple interest. If the total interest paid is R. 2700, what is the rate of interest per annum?

A. Rs.3310
B. Rs.3000
C. Rs.3500
D. Rs.6300
Answer
Explanation:
S.I = 3500*2*9/100
=> Rs.630
C.I => P[(1+(10/100))^2] – P
P[(1.1)^2 – 1]
0.21P
630 P
Rs.3000
14. What will be the ratio of simple interest earned by certain amount at the same rate of interest for 5 years and that for 15 years?
A. 3 : 2
B. 1 : 3
C. 2 : 3
D. 3 : 1
Answer
Explanation:
Let Principal = P
Rate of Interest = R%
Required Ratio = (PR×5100)(PR×15100)=515=13=1:3

A. Rs. 3250
B.Rs. 3150
C.Rs. 2500
