Simple interest on a certain sum of money for 3 years at 8% per annum is half the compound interest on Rs. 4000 for 2 years at 10% per annum. The sum placed on simple interest is

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Principal = Rs.1000;
Amount = Rs.1331;
Rate = Rs.10%p.a.

Let the time be n years then,

\begin{aligned}
1000(1+\frac{10}{100})^n = 1331 \\

(\frac{11}{10})^n = \frac{1331}{1000} \\

(\frac{11}{10})^3 = \frac{1331}{1000} \\

\end{aligned}
So answer is 3 years

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
Amount = [7500 \times (1+ \frac{4}{100})^2] \\
= (7500 \times \frac{26}{25} \times \frac{26}{25}) \\
= 8112 \\

\end{aligned}

So compound interest = (8112 - 7500) = 612

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Please remember, when we have to calculate C.I. quarterly then we apply following formula if n is the number of years

\begin{aligned}
Amount = P(1+\frac{\frac{R}{4}}{100})^{4n}
\end{aligned}

Principal = Rs.16,000;
Time=9 months = 3 quarters;
Rate = 20%, it will be 20/4 = 5%

So lets solve this question now,

\begin{aligned}
Amount = 16000(1+\frac{5}{100})^3 \\
= 18522\\
C.I = 18522 - 16000 = 2522
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Difference between C.I and S.I for 2 years = 36.30
S.I. for one year = 330.
S.I. on Rs 330 for one year = 36.30

So R% = \frac{100*36.30}{330*1} = 11%

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

It is clear from question that Ram's share after five years = Sham's share after seven years
Hence we can conclude following :
\begin{aligned}

\text{(Rams's present share)}\left(1 + \dfrac{5}{100}\right)^5 = \text{(Sham's present share)}\left(1 + \dfrac{5}{100}\right)^7\\
=> \dfrac{\text{(Ram's present share)}}{\text{(Sham's present share)}}= \dfrac{\left(1 + \dfrac{5}{100}\right)^7}{\left(1 + \dfrac{5}{100}\right)^5} \\ = \left(1 + \dfrac{5}{100}\right)^{(7-5)} = \left(1 + \dfrac{5}{100}\right)^2 \\ = \left(\dfrac{21}{20}\right)^2 = \dfrac{441}{400}

\end{aligned}
Ram's present share : B's present share = 441 : 400

\begin{aligned}

\text{As amount is Rs.3364, Ram's share = }3364 \times \dfrac{441}{(441+400)} \\\\
= 3364 \times \dfrac{441}{841} = 4 \times 441 = \text{ Rs. 1764}
\end{aligned}

So Sham's share is = 3364-1764 = 1600
