A) Rs12000
B) Rs12500
C) Rs13000
D) Rs13500
E) Rs14200
View Answer
Option C
Solution:
first we find the rate
3√216 : 3√343
6 : 7
(+1)
1/6*100= 16(2/3) %
Now R = 16(2/3) %=1/6
6…………….7
6…………….7
36 49
 (13) =13000
- If a principal becomes triple in 3years on C.I. then find in how many years it will be 27 fold?
A) 39years
B) 9years
C) 18years
D) 27years
E) 10years
View Answer
Option B
Solution:
in C.I principal increase like
1….3….9…..27
…3…..3….3
= 9years
- If a principal becomes amount of rs14500 at 14(2/7)% rate of interest in 3years at simple interest. Find the S.I on principal?
A) Rs4250
B) Rs4300
C) Rs4400
D) Rs4350
E) Rs4270
View Answer
Option D
Solution:
R = 14(2/7)% = 1/7
S.I remains same in all years so…
(P)7 + 1+1+1= 10(A)
10-7 = 3S.I
10 =14500
1=1450
3=4350
- If the difference between C.I and S.I is rs256 at 20% rate of interest in 3years. Find the amount on C.I?
A) Rs4320
B) Rs2500
C) Rs3456
D) Rs3200
E) Rs3478
View Answer
Option C
Solution:
S.I in 3years = 20*3= 60%
C.I in 3years = 5……………6
.            5……………6
.            5………..….6
. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 125 Â Â Â Â Â Â 216
. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â (91)
91/125*100= 72.8
Difference = 72.8 – 60= 12.8
12.8%= 256
100% = 2000
Now P = 2000
Means in C.I …. 125 =2000
1 = 16
216 = 3456
- A sum becomes 8000 in 3years and 10000 in 6years at C.I. Find the sum ?
A) Rs6400
B) Rs6500
C) Rs6000
D) Rs7000
E) Rs7200
View Answer
Option A
Solution:
x : y = y : z
x : 8000 = 8000 : 10000
x = 6400

A) Rs4645.87
B) Rs4680.87
C) Rs4685.87
D) Rs4687.87
E) Rs4356.77
View Answer
Option D
Solution:
15% of 9000 = 1350
1350……………1350………………1350
.            202.5…………….202.5
. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 202.5

- Find the compound interest on 18000 at 20% rate of interest in 1(1/2) years, if compounded half yearly ?
A) Rs5958
B) Rs4916
C) Rs5780
D) Rs3500
E) Rs6724
View Answer
Option A
Solution:
in half yearly we make rate half and time double.
So R =20/2 = 10%
T = 3/2 * 2= 3years
So 10% of 18000 = 1800
1800………………1800………………….1800
.              180……………………180
. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 180
. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 18
= 5400 + 540 + 18 = 5958

View Answer
Option D
Solution:
S.I = 10+15+20 = 45%
C.I .. Â Â 10…….11
. Â Â Â Â Â Â 20……23
. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 5…….6
. Â Â Â Â 1000…..1518
. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â (518)
= 518/1000*100 = 51.8 %
= difference = 51.8 – 45 = 6.8%
= 6.8% of 5000 = 340

E) 25years
View Answer
Option B
Solution:
P …………………..6P
6P – P = 5P interest
5P = 10years
P = 2years
11 P = 22years
- If the compound interest on a sum at 25% rate of interest is Rs900 then find the S.I of 3years at same rate?
A) Rs1000
B) Rs1100
C) Rs1300
D) Rs1200

4…………..5
4……………5
16…………25
25 -16 = 9
9 = 900
16 = 1600 = principal
So 75% of 1600 =1200
question no 4 ,
plz explain the method
C.I in 3years = 5……………6
. 5……………6
. 5………..….6
. 125 216
. (91)
skip this method
use basic method
si 20*3 = 60
ci 20% for 3 year when u calculated value comes = 72.8
differ 72.8-60=12.8
12.8 is value of 256
256/12.8*100=2000
this is P =2000
now u calculate Ci on 2000 for 20% in 3 year u find answer
no
ryt hai qs
solution bhi ryt hai
concept hota hai one less hota hai
solution diya hai achche se pdo aa jayga
try this
R=(n-1)*100/T where n=no of times
find out R frm here then
T=(n-1)*100/R put value of R frm abv
🙂
bro…here principal means amount …;)
are dese quiz enough for maths?
yes
bt u have to practice more
1 to 12
mtlb difference 12-1 =11 so here 11 comes
1 to 6
difference 6-1=5
10/5=2
11*2= 22 ans everything is correct here question and solution i hope u understand
always wlc bro
CI For 3 year there are 2-3 approaches:
1st =3r.3r^2.r^3
2nd=effective method
3rd=percentile
you can use any approach ,
By Effective method = 20+20(20*20/100)=44
again consider 44 as first value and 20 is another =44+22(44*22/100)=72.8
p =100
=>si =60 (3yrs)
=>ci =72.8 (3yrs)
=>12.8 = 256 =>100 =2000
now 72.8 =1456
=>totl =2000+1456 =3456
thanx
SI = 2250
CI = 2590
Diff = 340
no prob its easy
See –
For Si =10+15+20=45%
For CI=
use effective method For first 2 year = 10+15+(10*15/100)=25+1.50=26.50 ,
again use the same, For remaining =
26.5+20+(26.5*20/100)=46.5+5.30=51.80
Diff of CI and SI==51.80-45=6.80%
6.80% of 5000=340
all done but i have a doubt on Q 10 i think this question is incomplete
any mod plz help to understand this question
Re-check Qo no 10.
Info is not properly mentioned /
all done bt qus 10-time is not given for ci
same problem
Q8> however i gt the answer correct frm diffrent method this method seems new to me..pls explain @Shubhra ma’am (hw 10..11
20…23
5…6)
C.I .. 10…….11
. 20……23
. 5…….6
. 1000…..1518
. (518)
= 518/1000*100 = 51.8 %
= difference = 51.8 – 45 = 6.8%
= 6.8% of 5000 = 340
pls explain 5 th q.. how to cal
tq mam
