  • A father left a will of Rs.5 lakhs between his two daughters aged 10 and 15 such that they may get equal amounts when each of them reach the age of 21 years. The original amount of Rs.5 lakhs has been instructed to be invested at 10% p.a. simple interest. How much did the elder daughter get at the time of the will?
    A.Rs.2,04,797
    B.Rs.3,05,890
    C.Rs.1,90,00
    D.Rs.4,00,700
    E.Rs.2,46,870

    Answer & Explanation
    Answer – A.Rs.2,04,797
    Explanation :
    Let Rs.x be the amount that the elder daughter got at the time of the will. Therefore, the younger daughter got (5,00,000 – x).
    The elder daughter’s money earns interest for (21 – 15) = 6 years @ 10% p.a simple interest
    The younger daughter’s money earns interest for (21 – 10) = 11 years @ 10% p.a simple interest.
    As the sum of money that each of the daughters get when they are 21 is the same,
    x + (6*10*x/100)= (5,00,000 – x) +(11*10*[5,00,000-x]/100)
    100x+60x = (5,00,000-x)+(55,000,000-110x)
    160x =55,500,000-111x
    271x = 55,500,000
    X = 2,04,797

  • Out of Rs. 60,000 that Rahul has, he lends Rs. 10,000 at 11/2 % per annum simple interest and Rs. 32,000 at 6% per annum simple interest. He lends the remaining money at a certain rate of interest so that he gets total annual interest of Rs. 4000. The rate of interest per annum, at which the remaining money is lent, is?
    A.5%
    B.7.5%
    C.8%
    D.8.5%
    E.10%

    Answer & Explanation
    Answer –D.8.5%
    Explanation :
    Total Amount = 60000
    Amount divided into three parts – x, y, z
    x = 10000, T = 1 yr
    SI(x) = (10000 * 11/2)/100 = 550
    y = 32000 R = 6%
    SI(y) = (32000 * 6)/100 = 1920
    Total Interest = 4000, Interest on the remaining amount = 4000 – 550 – 1920 = 1530
    z = 60000 – 32000 – 10000 = 18000
    R = (1530 * 100) /18000 = 8.5%

  • A portion of Rs.8500 is invested at a8% per annum, while the remainder is invested at a 3% per annum. If the annual income from the portion earning a 8% per annum is thrice that of the other portion, what is the total income from the two investments after one year?
    A.Rs.350
    B.Rs.370
    C.Rs.450
    D.Rs.480
    E.Rs.520

    Answer & Explanation
    Answer –D.Rs.480
    Explanation :
    8x + 3y = z (Total Income)
    x + y = 8500 -(1)
    8x= 3(3y)
    8x – 9y = 0 -(2)
    By solving (1) and (2) we get, x = 4500 so y = 4000
    (4500*8*1)/100 + (4000*3*1)/100 = 360 + 120 = 480

    C. 16.5%
    D. 19.5%
    E. None of the Above

    Answer & Explanation
    B. 14.4%
    Explanation:
    x – (40/100)*x = 60x/100
    40/100 at 15% p.a = 40/100 * 15/100 = 60x/1000
    50/100*60x/100 = 30x/100 at 10% p.a = 30x/100 * 10/100 = 30x/1000
    Balance amount = x – 40x/100 – 30x/100 = 30x/100 at 18% p.a = 18/100 * 30x/100 = 54x/1000
    R = [(144x/1000)/x] * 100 = 14.4%

  • Vivek took a loan from the bank at 8% per annum, and was supposed to pay a sum of Rs.2500 at the end of 4 years. If the same sum is cleared off in four equal annual instalments at the same rate, then the amount of annual instalment will be?
    A. Rs.558
    B. Rs.978
    C. Rs.766
    D. Rs.856
    E. None of the Above

    Answer & Explanation
    A. Rs.558
    Explanation:
    x + (x*8*1/100) = 27x/25
    x + (x*8*2/100) = 29x/25
    x + (x*8*3/100) = 31x/25
    (x + 27x/25 + 29x/25 + 31x/25) = 2500
    112x/25 = 2500 => x = 558
  • Sachin invested some amount at the rate of 12% simple interest and a certain amount at the rate of 10% simple interest. He received yearly interest of Rs.140. But if he had interchanged the amounts invested, he would have received Rs.4 more as interest. How much did he invest at 12% simple interest?
    A. Rs. 750.65
    B. Rs. 545.45
    C. Rs. 850.65
    D. Rs. 465.45
    E. None of the Above

    Answer & Explanation
    B. Rs. 545.45
    Explanation:
    Amount invested at 12% = Rs. x
    Amount invested at 10% = Rs. y
    140 = x*12*1/100 + y*10*1/100
    12x + 10y = 14000 -(i)
    144 = x*10*1/100 + y*12*1/100
    10x + 12y = 14400 -(ii)
    x = 545.45

 

  • Bharat borrowed Rs.180,000 on a condition that he had to pay 7.5% interest every year. He also agreed to pay the principal in equal annual instalments over 21 years. After a certain number of years, however, the rate of interest has been reduced to 7%. It is also known that at the end of the agreed period, he will have paid in all Rs.2,70,900 in interest. For how many years does he pay at the reduced interest rate?
    A. 10 years
    B. 12 years
    C. 13 years
    D. 14 years
    E. None of the Above

    Answer & Explanation
    D. 14 years
    Explanation:
    x = interest paid at 7.5%
    (21-x) years interest paid at 7%
    ((180000*x*7.5)/100) + ((180000*7*(21-x))/100) = 270900
    x = 7
    21 – 7 = 14 years he paid at the reduced interest rate.
  • Ankita borrows Rs.7000 at simple Interest from a lender. At the end of 3 years, she again borrows Rs.3000 and settled that amount after paying Rs.4615 as interest after 8 years from the time she made the first borrowing. what is the rate of interest?
    A. 5.5%
    B. 9.5%
    C. 7.5%
    D. 6.5%
    E. None of the Above

    Answer & Explanation
    D. 6.5%
    Explanation:

    Again borrowed=3000
    SI = (3000*r*5)/100
    Total interest= [(7000*r*8)/100] + [(3000*r*5)/100] = 4615
    560r + 150r = 4615
    710r = 4615
    r = 6.5%

    B. 30080
    C. 20500
    D. 28800
    E. None of the Above

    Answer & Explanation
    D. 28800
    Explanation:
    First Part = x
    [x * (0.06)*6] / (388800 – x)*0.05*2 = 5/4
    1.44x = 19400 – 0.5x
    x = 10000
    Second Part = 38800 – 10000 = 28800
  • Harshita lent out some money at 6% Simple Interest per annum. After one year, Rs.6800 is repaid and the rest of the amount is repaid at 5% per annum. If the second year’s interest is 11/20 of the first year’s interest, find what amount of money was lent out.
