| 1. | Find out the C.I. on Rs. 5000 at 4% p.a. compounded half-yearly for 1 1/2 years. |
|---|
A. Rs. 420.20
B. Rs. 319.06
C. Rs. 306.04
D. Rs. 294.75
View Answer Discuss Work SpaceAnswer: option c
Explanation:
A = 5000(51/50)^3 = 5306.04= 5000 = 306.04
| 2. | Find compound interest on Rs. 8000 at 15% per annum for 2 years 4 months, compounded annually. |
|---|
A. 2109
B. 3109
C. 4109
D. 6109
View Answer Discuss Work SpaceAnswer: option b
Explanation:
Time = 2 years 4 months = 2(4/12) years = 2(1/3) years.
Amount = [8000 X (1+(15/100))^2 X (1+((1/3)*15)/100)]
=Rs. [8000 * (23/20) * (23/20) * (21/20)]
= Rs. 11109.
=> C.I. = Rs. (11109 - 8000) = Rs. 3109
| 3. | In what time will Rs. 1000 become Rs. 1331 at 10% per annum compounded annually? |
|---|
A. 1 year
B. 4 years
C. 3 years
D. 6 years
View Answer Discuss Work SpaceAnswer: option c
Explanation:
Principal = Rs. 1000; Amount = Rs. 1331; Rate = 10% p.a.
Let the time be n years.
Then, [ 1000 (1+ (10/100))^n ] = 1331 or (11/10)^n = (1331/1000)
= (11/10)^3
=> n = 3 years.
| 4. | The Simple interest on a certain sum for 2 years at 10% per annum is Rs. 90. The corresponding compound interest is: |
|---|
A. Rs. 99
B. Rs. 94.50
C. Rs. 95.60
D. Rs. 108
View Answer Discuss Work SpaceAnswer: option b
Explanation:
Sum = Rs. 100 x 90/20 = Rs. 450
C.I. = Rs. 450 x (1+ 10/100)^2 - 450 = Rs. 94.50
| 5. | The difference between simple interest and compound interest on Rs. 600 for 1 years at 10% per annum, reckoned half yearly is? |
|---|
A. Nil
B. Rs. 6.60
C. Rs. 4.40
D. Rs. 1.50
View Answer Discuss Work SpaceAnswer: option d
Explanation:
S.I. = Rs. (600 x 5 x 2)/100 = Rs.60
C.I.= Rs. [600 x (1 + 5/100)2 - 600] = Rs. 61.50
Requred Difference = Rs. (61.50 - 60) = Rs.1.50
