A financier claims to be lending money at simple interest, But he includes the interest every six months for calculating the principal. If he is charging an interest of 10%, the effective rate of interest becomes.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let the present worth be Rs.x
Then,S.I.= Rs.(132 - x)

=› (x*5*2/100) = 132 - x

=› 10x = 13200 - 100x

=› 110x = 13200

x= 120

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Let the sum is 100.

As financier includes interest every six months., then we will calculate SI for 6 months, then again for six months as below:

SI for first Six Months = (100*10*1)/(100*2) = Rs. 5

Important: now sum will become 100+5 = 105

SI for last Six Months = (105*10*1)/(100*2) = Rs. 5.25

So amount at the end of year will be (100+5+5.25)
= 110.25

Effective rate = 110.25 - 100 = 10.25

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Two things need to give attention in this question, First we need to calculate gain for 1 year only.
Second, where we take money at some interest and lends at other, then we use to subtract each other to get result in this type of question. Lets solve this Simple Interest question now.

\begin{aligned}
\text{Gain in 2 year = } \\
[(5000 \times \frac{25}{4} \times \frac{2}{100})-(\frac{5000 \times 4 \times 2}{100})] \\
= (625 - 400) = 225 \\
\text{ So gain for 1 year = }\\
\frac{225}{2} = 112.50
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
P = \frac{S.I. * 100}{R*T}
\end{aligned}

So by putting values from our question we can get the answer

\begin{aligned}
P = \frac{4016.25 * 100}{9*5} \\
= 8925
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let sum = x then Simple Interest = x

Rate = (100 * x) / (x * 8) = 12.5
