Calculate Simple Interest if

Principal \[(P)=Rs.3000\]
Amount \[(A)=Rs.3200\]

\[Rs.100\]

\[Rs.150\]

\[Rs.200\]

\[Rs.250\]

Simple Interest \[(SI)=A-P\]

\[=Rs.(3200-3000)\]

\[=Rs.200\]

Hence \[SI=Rs.200/-\]

Calculate Simple Interest \[(SI)\] if

Principal \[(P)=Rs.400\]
Rate \[(R)=5\%\]
Time \[(T)=10 \ years\]

\[Rs.100\]

\[Rs.200\]

Principal \[(P)=Rs.5000\]
Time \[(T)=9 \ years\]

\[1\%\]

\[2\%\]

\[3\%\]

\[=\frac{5000}{5000}\]

\[=1\%\]

Hence Interest Rate \[(I)=1\%\]

Rate \[(R)=4\%\]

\[2 \ years\]

\[4 \ years\]

\[6 \ years\]

\[8 \ years\]

\[\frac{SI\times 100}{P\times R}\]

\[=\frac{6400\times 100}{20000\times 4}\]

\[=\frac{64}{8}\]

\[=8\]

Hence Time Duration \[(T)=8 \ years\]

Simple Interest on a certain Amount for \[2\] years is \[Rs.50\]. Simple Interest on the same amount in \[5\] years will be __________

\[Rs.100\]

\[Rs.115\]

\[Rs.120\]

\[Rs.125\]

Simple Interest in \[2\] years \[=Rs.50\]

\[\therefore\] Simple Interest for \[1\] year \[=Rs.\frac{50}{2}=Rs.25\]

\[\therefore\] Simple Interest in \[5\] years \[=Rs.(25\times5)=Rs.125/-\]

What sum of money must be given as simple interest for six months at \[4\%\] per annum in order to earn \[Rs.150\] interest?

\[Rs.6000\]

\[Rs.6500\]

\[Rs.7000\]

\[Rs.7500\]

\[P=\frac{\left(150\times 100\right)}{4\times 1}\times \frac{2}{1}\]

\[=Rs.7500\]

A sum of money lent at simple interest amounts to \[Rs.880\] in \[2\] years and to \[Rs.920\] in \[3\] years. The sum of money (in rupees) is

\[Rs.600\]

\[Rs.700\]

\[Rs.800\]

\[Rs.900\]

If the principal be \[x\] and rate of interest be \[x\%\] per annum, then

SI after \[1\] year \[= 920 – 880 = Rs.40\]

\[\therefore\] SI after \[2\] years \[= Rs.80\]

\[\implies 880 = x + 80 \]

\[\implies x = (880 – 80)\]

\[= Rs.800\]

A sum of \[Rs.1550\] was lent partly at \[5\%\] and partly at \[8\%\] simple interest. The total interest received after \[3\] years is \[Rs.300\]. The ratio of money lent at \[5\%\] to that at \[8\%\] is :

\[Rs.420\]

\[Rs.580\]

\[Rs.840\]

\[Rs.960\]

According to question,

Interest of one year \[= 42\]
Rate \[= 5\%\]
Time \[= 1\] year

\[\therefore P=\frac{SI\times 100}{R\times T}\]

\[=\frac{42\times 100}{5\times 1}\]

\[=42\times 20\]

\[=Rs.840\]

A sum of \[Rs. 4000\] is lent out in two parts, one at \[8\%\] simple interest and the other at \[10\%\] simple interest. If the annual interest is \[Rs. 352\], the sum lent at \[8\%\] is

\[Rs.6000\]

\[Rs.7000\]

\[Rs.8000\]

\[Rs.9000\]

Let the larger part of the sum be x

\[\implies\] Smaller part \[= (12000 – x )\]

According to the question,

\[\frac{\left(x\times 3\times 12\right)}{100}=\frac{\left(1200-x\right)x\times 9\times 16}{100}\]

\[\implies 36 x = (12000 – x ) 72 \]

\[\implies x = (12000 – x ) × 2\]

\[\implies x + 2 x = 24000 \]

\[\implies 3 x = 24000\]

\[x=\frac{24000}{3}\]

\[=Rs.8000\]

The rate of interest per annum at which the total simple interest of a certain capital for \[1\] year is equal to the total simple interest of the same capital at the rate of \[5\%\] per annum for \[2\] years, is

\[4\%\]

\[6\%\]

\[8\%\]

\[10\%\]

According to the question

\[\frac{\left(P\times R\times 1\right)}{100}=\frac{\left(P\times 5\times 2\right)}{100}\]

[\[\because\] Capital is same in both cases]

\[r\times 1=5\times 2\]

\[\Rightarrow r=10\%\]
