What is the present worth of Rs. 132 due in 2 years at 5% simple interest per annum

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:

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 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 D

Explanation:

Let sum = x
Time = 10 years.
S.I = 2x /5, [as per question]
Rate =( (100 * 2x) / (x*5*10))%
=> Rate = 4%

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
\text{ S.I. = } \frac{P \times R \times T}{100}
\end{aligned}
So, by putting the values in the above formula, our result will be.
\begin{aligned}
\text{ Required result = } \frac{7000 \times 50 \times 9}{3 \times 12 \times 100} = 875
\end{aligned}

[Please note that we have divided by 12 as we converted 9 months in a year format]
