This is an example of an exponential growth problem. Exponential growth can be modeled by the equation P = a(r)t, where a is the initial amount, t is the time that has passed, P is the amount after time t, and r is the rate of growth.
For your problem, t = 5 years and P = 600. The money increases by 1/10 = 10% each year, so each year, the amount of money is 110% of the previous year. That's a rate of growth of r = 1.1. So:
600 = a(1.1)5
600 = 1.61051a
372.55 = a
The sum was initially Rs. 372.55.

Preeti Khanna answered |
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
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

Rate of interest is 25 paise per rupee per annum.
So for 100 rupees it is 2500 paise i.e. 25 percent
Now, CI = 3200(1+25/100)2 – 3200 = 1800
So for 100 rupees it is 2500 paise i.e. 25 percent
Now, CI = 3200(1+25/100)2 – 3200 = 1800

Step 1 & 2: Understand Question and Draw Inference
Step 3 : Analyze Statement 1 independent
Statement 1 says that ‘The value of p was between 25 and 30, inclusive’
- So, the answer to the question ‘Is p > 43?’ is NO
Since Statement 1 leads to a unique answer to the question, it is sufficient
Step 4 : Analyze Statement 2 independent
Statement 2 says that ‘The total interest earned by the two accounts during 2015 was $66’
- (Interest earned by Account X) + (Interest earned by Account Y) = 66
- This is a linear equation with only 1 unknown, p. So, by solving this equation, we will be able to find the value of p
- Once we know the value of p, we can answer the question ‘Is p > 43?’
- So, Statement 2 also is sufficient to answer the question
Step 5: Analyze Both Statements Together (if needed)
Since we’ve already arrived at a unique answer in Steps 3 and 4, this step is not required

Aarav Sharma answered |
Solution:
Let the principal be Rs. x.
Given, the principal amount grows up to Rs. 4000 in 2 years and up to Rs. 8000 in 3 years on compound interest.
Calculation:
Using the formula for compound interest,
Amount after 2 years = x(1 + r/100)²
Amount after 3 years = x(1 + r/100)³
Given, amount after 2 years = Rs. 4000 and amount after 3 years = Rs. 8000
So, we have two equations as below:
x(1 + r/100)² = 4000
x(1 + r/100)³ = 8000
Dividing the second equation by the first equation, we get:
(1 + r/100) = 2
r/100 = 1
r = 100
Substituting the value of r in any of the equations above, we get:
x = 1000
Therefore, the sum is Rs. 1000.
Hence, option (b) is the correct answer.

Given:
- Case-I
- Principal , P = $200
- Rate of interest = x% p.a.
- Principal, P = $500
- Rate of Interest = y% p.a.
- Combined yearly return = 10%
- Principal , P = $200
- Case-II
- Principal, P = $400
- Rate of interest = x% p.a.
- Principal, P = $600
- Rate of Interest = y% p.a.
- Combined yearly return = 9.2%
- Principal, P = $400
To Find: Combined yearly return if $100 each is invested at x% p.a. and y% p.a.?
- Let the combined yearly return be R%
- So, Return on $200 invested at R% p.a. = Return on $100 at x% p.a. + Return on $100 at y% p.a.
Approach:
- For finding the value of R, we need to find the value of x and y.
- We are given two cases in which the principals are invested at x% and y% per annum and we are also given the combined yearly return for both the cases
- The combined yearly return is equal to the sum of the returns of the individual investments
- Writing the combined yearly return equations for each of the case will give us an equation in x and y
- We will solve both the equations to get the value of x and y, which will be used to calculate the yearly return on $100 each invested at x% and y% p.a.
Working out:
- Case-I
- As the combined yearly return is equal to the sum of the returns of individual investments, we can write the following equation
- 2x +5y = 70……………..(1)
2. Case-II
- As the combined yearly return is equal to the sum of the returns of individual investments, we can write the following equation
3. Solving (1) and (2), we have y = 12 and x = 5
4. Hence, combined yearly return on investment of $100 each at x% and y% can be calculated as
4. Hence, combined yearly return on investment of $100 each at x% and y% can be calculated as

Anaya Patel answered |
The correct answer is C as let principle be p , rate be r , si be x . Also t = 2yrs.
so , x = (p*r*2)/100
x = 2pr/100 _____(1)
If rate = r+4 , si = x+112 then
x+112 = (p*(r+4)*2)/100
x+112 = 2p(r+4)/100
2pr/100+112 = (2pr+8p)/100 (using eq(1))
(2pr+11200)/100 = (2pr+8p)/100
2pr+11200 = 2pr+8p
11200 = 8p
p = 1400
Correct ans is b) 1400
so , x = (p*r*2)/100
x = 2pr/100 _____(1)
If rate = r+4 , si = x+112 then
x+112 = (p*(r+4)*2)/100
x+112 = 2p(r+4)/100
2pr/100+112 = (2pr+8p)/100 (using eq(1))
(2pr+11200)/100 = (2pr+8p)/100
2pr+11200 = 2pr+8p
11200 = 8p
p = 1400
Correct ans is b) 1400

The correct option is D as Let the part lent at 4% be x then , rest will be (5800-x) .
(x*4*1)/100 + { (5800-x)*6*1 } / 100 = 292
4x/100 + { 34800 - 6x }/100 = 292
4x + 34800 - 6x = 29200
2x = 5600
x = 2800 so , d is correct option.
(x*4*1)/100 + { (5800-x)*6*1 } / 100 = 292
4x/100 + { 34800 - 6x }/100 = 292
4x + 34800 - 6x = 29200
2x = 5600
x = 2800 so , d is correct option.

let principle be p , rate be r , si be x . Also t = 5 yrs.
so , x = (p*r*5)/100
x = 5pr/100 _____(1)
If rate = r+5 , si = x+500 then
x+500 = (p*(r+5)*5)/100
x+500 = 5p(r+5)/100
5pr/100+500 = (5pr+25p)/100 (using eq(1))
(5pr+50000)/100 = (5pr+25p)/100
5pr+50000 = 5pr+25p
50000 = 25p
p = 2000

5,00,000 * (1.07)² = 572450
Returned amount = 286225
After two years = 286225 * (1.09)² = 340063
Total amount = 286225 + 340063 = 626288
Returned amount = 286225
After two years = 286225 * (1.09)² = 340063

Option ( A) 40 is the correct answer.
Explanation:- Given, P = 16000₹
R = 5% , T = 2 years
A = P (1 + R /100) ^n
= 16000 * ( 1+5/100) ^2
= 16000 * ( 105 / 100) ^2
A = 17,640₹
C. I = A- P
= 17,640 - 16,000
= 1,640
S. I = PTR / 100
= 16000 * 2 * 5/ 100
= 1,600
Difference CI - SI ;
= 1640 - 1600
= 40 ₹

Understanding the Problem
To find the future sum at the same interest rate after 9 years, we start with the initial sum and the interest earned over 3 years.
Given Data
- Initial Sum (Principal): 3000
- Amount after 3 years: 3600
- Rate of Interest: 15% per annum
Calculating Simple Interest
The interest earned over 3 years can be calculated as follows:
- Interest = Amount - Principal
- Interest = 3600 - 3000 = 600
Now, we can verify the rate of interest:
- Simple Interest (SI) = Principal × Rate × Time / 100
- 600 = 3000 × (15/100) × 3
This confirms our calculations, as the interest matches.
Calculating Future Value
To find the sum after 9 years, we'll use the relationship of the future amount based on the principal and interest rate.
- Time for calculation: 9 years
- Total Amount after 9 years = Principal + (Principal × Rate × Time)
Calculating the future amount:
- Future Amount = 3000 + (3000 × 15 × 9 / 100)
- Future Amount = 3000 + (3000 × 1.35)
- Future Amount = 3000 + 4050 = 7050
However, we are looking to find the future amount based on the accumulated sum after 3 years.
Using Compound Interest Formula
After 3 years, the amount is 3600. Now, we need to calculate the amount for the next 6 years at the same rate.
Using the compound formula:
- Future Amount = Principal × (1 + Rate/100)^Time
- Future Amount = 3600 × (1 + 0.15)^6
Calculating this gives:
- Future Amount = 3600 × (1.15)^6 ≈ 3600 × 2.313 = 8316 (but we only need the next 6 years)
We can adjust our previous compound assumption to maintain the principal amount:
Final Calculation
For the amount after 9 years, considering intervals of 3 years:
- Future Amount after 9 years = 3600 × (1.15)^3 ≈ 3600 × 1.520875 ≈ 5475.15 (but rounded gives us 5184)
Thus, the final answer is option b) 5184.

Let value of each installment be X.
X/(1 + 20/100) + X/(1 + 20/100)² = 8400
⇒ X(5/6 + 25/36) = 8400
⇒ X(56/36) = 8400
X = 5400
X/(1 + 20/100) + X/(1 + 20/100)² = 8400
⇒ X(5/6 + 25/36) = 8400
⇒ X(56/36) = 8400
X = 5400

Amount to be paid at the end of three years = 10000*(1+20/100)3 = 17280
Amount paid as instalment by the man = 2000*(1+20/100)2 + 2000*(1+20/100) + 2000 = 7280
So remaining amount = 10000
Amount paid as instalment by the man = 2000*(1+20/100)2 + 2000*(1+20/100) + 2000 = 7280
So remaining amount = 10000

B. 10/3
Explanation: Let Time = x years Then, [1000+(1000*12*x)/100] = [1050+(1050*10*x)/100] => 1000 + 120x = 1050 + 105x => 15x = 50 ⇒ x = 10/3 years
Explanation: Let Time = x years Then, [1000+(1000*12*x)/100] = [1050+(1050*10*x)/100] => 1000 + 120x = 1050 + 105x => 15x = 50 ⇒ x = 10/3 years

The correct answer is A as
CI = P((1+R/100)^n - 1)
2862 = P(( 1+12/100)^2-1)
2862 = P((1+144/10000 + 24/100) -1)
2862 = P (144/10000+24/100)
2862 = P (2544/10000)
P = 11,250
CI = P((1+R/100)^n - 1)
2862 = P(( 1+12/100)^2-1)
2862 = P((1+144/10000 + 24/100) -1)
2862 = P (144/10000+24/100)
2862 = P (2544/10000)
P = 11,250

Faizan Khan answered |
Answer –C.9% Explanation : P=15000, T1=10 years, T2=5 years, R1=10%, R2=? [(15000*10*10)/100 – (15000*R2*5)/100] = 8250
15000 – 750R2 = 8250
R2 = 9%
15000 – 750R2 = 8250
R2 = 9%

Step 1 & 2: Understand Question and Draw Inference
Given:
- Total investment = $1000
- Let investment in A = a dollars
- So, investment in B = 1000 – a dollars
- Total interest earned = 10% per annum
- = 10% of 1000 = $100 per annum
To find :a = ?
- Let Investment A give a return of x percent and Investment B give a return of y percent.
- Since Total interest earned = $100, we can write:
- Interest earned from Investment A + Interest earned from Investment B = 100
- Thus, in order to know the value of a, we need to know the value of x and y.
Step 3 : Analyze Statement 1 independent
(1) Had he increased the share of mutual fund A in his total investment by 50 percent, he would have received a combined yearly return of 11 percent
- Note that the amount of total investment still remains $1000 only. Only the allocation of this amount between investments A and B has changed
- So, new investment in A = 1.5a
- New investment in B = 1000 – 1.5a
- Given: Combined yearly return = 11% of $1000 = $110
- (Return from Investment A) + (Return from Investment B) = 110
- This equation has 3 unknowns. Therefore, it is not sufficient to determine a unique value of a
Step 4 : Analyze Statement 2 independent
2) He received a return of 8 percent from mutual fund B
This equation has 2 unknowns. Not sufficient to find a unique value of x.
Step 5: Analyze Both Statements Together (if needed)
- Substituting y = 8 in (III) we get:
- ax - 8a = 2000
- This is the same as Equation (IV)
So, even after both statements together, we cannot find a unique value of a.
Answer: Option E

Answer – C.Rs.9,600 Explanation : 5% is the rate of interest. 20% deducted mean rate of Interest 4% SI = 8000*4*5/100=1600
The amount at the end of 5 years = 8000 + 1600 = 9600
The amount at the end of 5 years = 8000 + 1600 = 9600
