    A) Rs18,000
    B) Rs12,000
    C) Rs15,000
    D) Rs20,000
    E) Rs25,000
    View Answer
    Option A
    Solution:
    C.I for 2yrs = 20% = 1/5
    .    5 ……………….6
    .    5 ……………….6
    .  25 ………………36
    11/25 * 100 = 44%
    44% = 13200
    We need S.I = 20*3 = 60%
    1% = 300
    60% = 18,000
  2. A sum of money becomes 6000 after 2yrs and 9000 after 4yrs. Find the sum?
    A) 3000
    B) 4000
    C) 4500
    D) 5000
    E) 3500
    View Answer
    Option B
    Solution:
    A : B : C
    Note : when time is same then ratio uses to solve question. See below
    A : B = B : C
    X : 6000 = 6000 : 9000
    X = 4000
  3. If a sum of Rs216 becomes 343 in 3yrs. Then find C.I on Rs43,200 in 3yrs at the same rate of interest?
    A) 20,000
    B) 25,000
    C) 24,400
    D) 25,400
    E) 26,000
    View Answer
    Option D
    Solution:
    first we will find rate of interest
    Note : – root varies according to time, here Time is 3 yrs so
    (216)1/3 : (343)1/3
    6 : 7 – difference is 1. Now 1/6*100 = 16(2/3)%
    Now according to question C.I for 3 yrs
    16(2/3)% = 1/6 .         6 …………7
    .                        .         6 …………7
    .                        .         6 …………7
    216 − 343 = 127
    216 =43,200
    1 = 200
    127 = 25,400

    .    10 ………..11
    .    10 ………..11
    .    10 ………..11
    .    1000 – 1331 = 33.1%
    Difference = 33.1 % − 30% = 3.1%
    3.1= 12400
    100 = 400000

    Option C
    Solution:
    S.I for 1yr = 225/3 =75
    S.I for 2nd yr= 150
    S.I         75         75
    C.I                     3(153-150=3)

  3. Thanks for your short article. I would love to say that a health insurance agent also utilizes the benefit of the actual coordinators of your group insurance plan. The health broker is given a list of benefits wanted by anyone or a group coordinator. What a broker may is find individuals and also coordinators which often best complement those needs. Then he offers his suggestions and if all sides agree, the broker formulates a legal contract between the 2 parties.
