Q:

The difference between the compound interest and simple interest on a certain sum at 10% per annum for 2 years is Rs. 631. Find the sum.

A) 60100 B) 61100
C) 62100 D) 63100
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 63100

Explanation:

Let the sum be Rs. x. Then,
C.I. = x ( 1 + ( 10 /100 ))^2 - x = 21x / 100 ,
S.I. = (( x * 10 * 2) / 100) = x / 5
(C.I) - (S.I) = ((21x / 100 ) - (x / 5 )) = x / 100
( x / 100 ) = 632 * x = 63100.
Hence, the sum is Rs.63,100.

Q:

Rs.1200 divided among P, Q and R. P gets half of the total amount received by Q and R. Q gets one-third of the total amount received by P and R. Find the amount received by R ?

A) Rs. 1100 B) Rs. 500
C) Rs. 1200 D) Rs. 700
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs. 500

Explanation:

Let the amounts to be received by P, Q and R be p, q and r.
p + q + r = 1200
p = 1/2 (q + r) => 2p = q + r

Adding 'p' both sides, 3p = p + q + r = 1200
=> p = Rs.400

q = 1/3 (p + r) => 3q = p + r

Adding 'q' both sides, 4q = p + q + r = 1200
=> q = Rs.300

r = 1200 - (p + q) => r = Rs.500.

A) Rs. 660 B) Rs. 560
C) Rs. 1060 D) Rs. 960
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Rs. 960

Explanation:

Let C.P. = Rs. C.
Then, 832 - C = C - 448
2C = 1280 => C = 640
Required S.P. = 150% of Rs. 640 = 150/100 x 640 = Rs. 960.
