If a sum of money doubles itself in 8 years at simple interest, the ratepercent per annum is

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 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 A

Explanation:

One thing which is tricky in this question is to calculate the number of days.
Always remember that the day on which money is deposited is not counted while the day on which money is withdrawn is counted.
So lets calculate the number of days now,
Time = (24+31+18) days = 73/365 years = 1/5 years
P = 2000
R = 25/4%

\begin{aligned}
\text{ S.I. = } = \frac{2000 \times 25 }{4 \times 5 \times 100} = 25
\end{aligned}

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 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}
