    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
  2. 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

    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
  4. 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
    .                    125            216
    .                            (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
  5. A sum becomes 8000 in 3years and 10000 in 6years at C.I. Find the sum ?

    D) Rs7000
    E) Rs7200
    View Answer

    x : 8000 = 8000 : 10000
    x = 6400

    1350……………1350………………1350
    .                      202.5…………….202.5
    .                                               202.5
    .                                               30.37

    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
    .                                                         180
    .                                                           18
    = 5400 + 540 + 18 = 5958
  8. Find the difference between S.I and C.I on Rs 5000 if rate of interest for first year is 10% and 2nd year is 15% and 3rd year is 20%?
    A) Rs300
    B) Rs320
    C) Rs330
    D) Rs340
    E) Rs360
    View Answer
    Option D
    Solution:

    S.I = 10+15+20 = 45%
    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
  9. If the principal become 6 fold on S.I in 10 years then find in how many years it will be 12 fold?
    A) 24years
    B) 22years
    C) 12years
    D) 20years
    E) 25years
    View Answer
    Option B
    Solution:

    P …………………..6P
    6P – P = 5P interest
    5P = 10years
    P = 2years
    11 P = 22years
  10. 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
    E) Rs1500
    View Answer
    Option D
    Solution:

    S.I = 25*3 = 75%
    C.I = 25% =1/4
    4…………..5
    4……………5
    16…………25
    25 -16 = 9
    9 = 900
    16 = 1600 = principal
    So 75% of 1600 =1200

      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

    3. $Ec$tATiC$

      p =100
      =>si =60 (3yrs)
      =>ci =72.8 (3yrs)
      =>12.8 = 256 =>100 =2000
      now 72.8 =1456
      =>totl =2000+1456 =3456

    1. AVIâ„¢ (Sinchen loveR)

      SI = 2250
      CI = 2590
      Diff = 340
      no prob its easy

    2. ??????????|||√乇刀り乇イイム™

      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
