Q:

A sum was put at simple interest at a certain rate for 10 years . Had it been put at 5% higher rate , it would have fetched Rs.600 more. What was the Sum?

A) Rs.1200 B) Rs.1300
C) Rs.1400 D) Rs.1500
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs.1200

Explanation:

At 5% more rate, the increase in S.I for 10 years = Rs.600  (given)

So, at 5% more rate, the increase in SI for 1 year = 600/10 = Rs.60/-

i.e. Rs.60 is 5% of the invested sum

So, 1% of the invested sum = 60/5

Therefore, the invested sum = 60 × 100/5 = Rs.1200

Q:

How long will it take for a sum of money to grow from Rs.1250 to Rs.10,000, if it is invested at 12.5% p.a simple interest?

A) 65years B) 56years
C) 45years D) 57years
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 56years

Explanation:

Simple interest is given by the formula SI = (pnr/100), where p is the principal, n is the numberof years for which it is invested, r is the rate of interest per annum

 

In this case, Rs. 1250 has become Rs.10,000.

 

Therefore, the interest earned = 10,000 – 1250 = 8750.

 

8750 = [(1250 x n x 12.5)/100]

 

=> n = 700 / 12.5 = 56 years.
