A sum of Rs 12,500 amounts to Rs. 15,500 in the 4 years at the rate of simple interest. Find the rate percent

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

We need to calculate the profit of B.
It will be,
SI on the rate B lends - SI on the rate B gets

\begin{aligned}
\text{Gain of B}\\ &= \frac{3500\times11.5\times3}{100} - \frac{3500\times10\times3}{100}\\
= 157.50
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

S.I. = 956 - 800 = Rs 156

\begin{aligned}
R = \frac{156*100}{800*3} \\
R = 6\frac{1}{2}\% \\

\text{ New Rate = }6\frac{1}{2}+4 \\
= \frac{21}{2} \% \\

\text{ New S.I. = }800\times\frac{21}{2}\times{3}{100} \\
= 252
\end{aligned}

Now amount will be 800 + 252 = 1052

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Clue:
Firstly we need to calculate the SI with prinical 800,Time 3 years and Rate 9/2%, it will be Rs. 108

Then we can get the Time as

Time = (100*108)/(150*8) = 9

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

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

So, S.I = 15500 - 12500 = 3000.

\begin{aligned}
=> R = \frac{3000 * 100}{12500*4} = 6\%
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
\text{S.I.} = \frac{P*R*T}{100} \\
=> P = \frac{S.I. * 100}{R*T} \\
=> P = \frac{5400 * 100}{12*3} = Rs 15000
\end{aligned}
