Find the rate at Simple interest, at which a sum becomes four times of itself in 15 years.

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

We can get SI of 3 years = 12005 - 9800 = 2205

SI for 5 years = (2205/3)*5 = 3675 [so that we can get principal amount after deducting SI]

Principal = 12005 - 3675 = 6125

So Rate = (100*3675)/(6125*5) = 12%

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Let the principal be P and rate be R

then

\begin{aligned}
\text{ratio = } [\frac{(\frac{P*R*6}{100})}{(\frac{P*R*9}{100})}] \\

= \frac{6PR}{9PR} = 2:3
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let sum be x and rate be r%
then, (x*r*15)/100 = 3x [important to note here is that simple interest will be 3x not 4x, beause 3x+x = 4x]

=> r = 20%

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 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}
