A sum of money at simple interest amounts to Rs. 14,160 in 3 years. If the rate of interest is increased to 25%, the same sum amounts to Rs. 14,700 in the same time. The rate of interest is

A$\text{5%}$

B$5 \frac{1}{2}$

C$\text{6%}$

D$\text{7%}$

upendra ? undefined

Correct answer is: 6%

Explanation:

\(\Large P+\frac{Pr \times 3}{100} = 14160\)

\(\Large P + P \times \frac{5r}{400} \times 3 = 14700\)

\(\left[ Rate\ of\ Int. = r + \frac{25}{100} r \right]\)

(By Ii) and (ii)

\(\Large P + \frac{5}{4} \left(14160-P\right)\)

\(=> 4P + 70800 - 5P = 58800\)

\(=> P = 70800 - 58800 - 12000\)

\(\text{Therefore, From equation (i),}\)

\(\Large 12000+\frac{12000 \times r \times 3}{100}\)

\(\Large 120 \times 3 \times r = 14160 - 12000 = 2160\)

\(=> \Large r = \frac{2160}{120 \times 3}\)

\(r = 6 \text{%}\)

Rs. 800 becomes Rs. 956 in 3 years at certain simple rate of interest. If the rate of interest is increased by 4%, what amount will Rs. 800 become in 3 years ?

ARs. 1020.8

BRs. 1025

CRs. 1025

DData inadequate

upendra ? undefined

Correct answer is: Rs. 1025

Explanation:

SI = 956 – 800 = 156 Rs.

\(\therefore Rate = \frac{SI\times 100}{Prin.\times Time}\)

\(= \frac{156\times 100}{800\times 3} = 6.5\%\ per\ annum\)

\(\text{∴ New rate = 10.5% }\)

\(\therefore SI = \frac{PRT}{100}\)

\(\frac{800\times 3\times 10.5}{100} = 252\ Rs.\)

\(∴ Amount = 800 + 252 = 1052 Rs.\)

upendra ? undefined

Correct  answer is: Rs. 7,500/-

Explanation:

Let sum be Rs.x
According to the question,
\(\Large \frac{x \times 10 \times 1}{100}+\frac{x \times 12 \times 1}{100} = 1650\)
\(22x = \Large 1650 \times 100\)
\(x = \Large \frac{165 \times 100}{22}\)
\(=Rs.7500\)
