1. Compound interest earned on a sum for the second and the third years are Rs.1200 and Rs.1440 respectively. Find the rate of interest?
A.18% p.a. B.22% p.a. C.20% p.a. D.24% p.a. E.None of these.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Rs.1440 - 1200 = Rs.240 is the interest on Rs.1200 for one year.
Rate of interest = (100 * 240) / (100 * 1) = 20% p.a
2. A sum of Rs.4800 is invested at a compound interest for three years, the rate of interest being 10% p.a., 20% p.a. and 25% p.a. for the 1st, 2nd and the 3rd years respectively. Find the interest received at the end of the three years.
A.Rs.2520 B.Rs.3120 C.Rs.3320 D.Rs.2760 E.None of these
Answer: B
Explanation:
Let A be the amount received at the end of the three years.
A = 4800[1 + 10/100][1 + 20/100][1 + 25/100]
A = (4800 * 11 * 6 * 5)/(10 * 5 * 4)
A = Rs.7920
So the interest = 7920 - 4800 = Rs.3120
3. The compound and the simple interests on a certain sum at the same rate of interest for two years are Rs.11730 and Rs.10200 respectively. Find the sum.
A.Rs.18000 B.Rs.17000 C.Rs.18500 D.Rs.17500 E.None of these.
Answer: B
Explanation:
The simple interest for the first year is 10200/2 is Rs.5100 and compound interest for first year also is Rs.5100. The compound interest for second year on Rs.5100 for one year
So rate of the interest = (100 * 1530)/ (5100 * 1) = 30% p.a.
So P = (100 * 10200)/ (30 * 2) = Rs.17000
4. Ravi invested certain amount for two rates of simple interests at 6% p.a. and 7% p.a. What is the ratio of Ravi's investments if the interests from those investments are equal?
A.4 : 3 B.3 : 2 C.6 : 5 D.7 : 6 E.None of these
Answer: D
Explanation:
Let x be the investment of Ravi in 6% and y be in 7%
x(6)(n)/100 = y(7)(n)/100
=> x/y = 7/6
x : y = 7 : 6
5. Every year an amount increases by 1/8th of itself. How much will it be after two years if its present value is Rs.64000?
A.Rs.81000 B.Rs.80000 C.Rs.75000 D.Rs.64000

X*0.99=7920
X=7920/0.99
=> 8000
