B - Rs 6000

C - Rs 6600

D - Rs 7200

Answer : C

Let capital be rs. x. then,
(x/3*7/100*1) +(x/4 * 8/100*1) + {x-(x/3+x/4)}*100*1= 561
=> 7x/300 +x/50 +5x/120 = 561 =>14x+12x +25 x = 336600
=> 51x = 336600 => x= 6600.

Q 3 - On a sure aggregate, the basic simple interest toward the end of 25/2 years gets to be 3/4 of the whole. What is the rate percent per annum?

A - 4%

B - 5%

C - 6%

D - None of these

Answer : C

Explanation

Let the sum be Rs. x. Then, S.I = Rs. 3x/4, time = 25/2 years.
∴ Rate = (100*3x/4 *1/x*2/25) % P.a. = 6%

Q 4 - A man loses Rs 55.50 yearly when the yearly rate of interest tumbles from 11.5% to 10%. His capital is:

A - Rs 3700

B - Rs 7400

Let the capital be Rs. x. then,
(x*23/2*1/100*1) ?(x*10*1/100*1) = 55.50
=> 23x/200 ?x/10 =111/2 => 23x-20x =11100 => 3x= 11100 => x = 3700
Hence, the capital is Rs. 3700.

x+x* 12/100* 10/3 = 17584 => (x+2x/5) = 17584
=> 7x/5 = 17584   => x= (17584*5/7) = 12560.
Hence, the money borrowed is Rs. 12560.

Q 8 - Peter invested an amount of Rs. 12000 at rate of interest of 10% p.a. simple interest and another amount at the rate of 20% p.a. simple interest. The total interest earned at the end of one year on the total amount invested became 14 p.c.p.a. Find the total amount invested?

A - 20000

B - 25000

C - 30000

D - 35000

Answer : A

Explanation

Let the second number be z. then, 
(12000 x 10 x 1100 + z x 20 x 1100) = ((12000 + z) x 14 x 1100) = 12000 + 20z = 168000 + 14z
= 6z = 48000
z = 8000
Therefore Total investment = Rs. (12000 + 8000) = 20000
