Detailed Solution for MCQ: Simple Interest - 2 - Question 1

Amount received by Ajay = 100% + 20% = 120%
Amount received by Baman = 100% + 3 × 20% = 160%

Hence, Option A is correct.

MCQ: Simple Interest - 2 - Question 3

Kapil borrowed Rs. 17,800 from a bank at a simple interest of 5% p.a. for 6 years and lent it to Vishal at the rate of 7% p.a. simple interest for 5 years. After returning the due amount to bank, what is the amount (in Rs.) gained by Kapil in the whole transaction?

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Simple Interest - 2 - Question 3

Interest to be returned = 6 × 5% = 30%
Interest earned = 5 × 7% = 35%
Difference = 35% − 30% = 5%
Amount earned = 5% (17,800) = Rs. 890
Hence, Option B is correct.

MCQ: Simple Interest - 2 - Question 4

A sum of Rs. 15,000 lent out at the rate of r% p.a. gives Rs. 2700 as simple interest in 6 years. What would be the simple interest if the same sum was lent out at (r + 2)% p.a. for the same time?

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Simple Interest - 2 - Question 4

Previous interest = 6r%
New interest = 6 (r + 2)% = 6r% + 12%
New interest = 2700 + 12% of 15,000
New interest = 2700 + 1800 = Rs. 4500
Hence, Option C is correct.

MCQ: Simple Interest - 2 - Question 5

A sum of money increased by 10%, 9.09% and 8.33% in three successive years at a certain rate of simple interest. If the same sum of money will give the same amount in 4 years at y% p.a. simple interest, what is the value of y?

A sum of Rs. 24,000 is lent out at simple interest for 5 years when the rate of interest for the first 3 years is x% p.a. and that for the next 2 years is y% p.a. If the sum becomes Rs. 27,600 in 3 years and Rs. 33,600 in 5 years, what is the value of x : y?

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Simple Interest - 2 - Question 6

One year interest for first 3 years

One year interest for next 2 years

x : y = 1200 : 3,000 = 2 : 5
Hence, Option A is correct.

MCQ: Simple Interest - 2 - Question 7

A sum of Rs. 18,000 becomes Rs. 22,500 in 5 years at r% rate of simple interest. What will be the ratio of simple interest obtained on the same sum at (r + 2)% p.a. in 2 years to that obtained at (r + 3)% p.a. in 7 years?

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Simple Interest - 2 - Question 7



r = 5
Reqd. ratio = (5 + 2)% × 2 : (5 + 3)% × 7 = 1 : 4
Hence, Option C is correct.

MCQ: Simple Interest - 2 - Question 8

A lent out a sum of money at 5% p.a. simple interest for 5 years. B lent out half the sum of money lent out by A at 10% p.a. for 10 years. The interest received by A is what percent of the amount received by B?

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Simple Interest - 2 - Question 8

Let the sum lent out by A = 100
Interest received by A = (5 × 5%) of 100 = 25

Amount received by B = 50 × (100% + 10% × 10) = 100

Hence, Option B is correct.

MCQ: Simple Interest - 2 - Question 9

A sum of money is deposited in a bank for 3 years and per annum rate of simple interest for the first, second and third years is x%, (x + 4)% and (x + 5)%, respectively. If the sum becomes 124% of itself in 3 years, what is the rate of interest for the third year?

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Simple Interest - 2 - Question 9

100 (1 + (x + x + 4 + x + 5)%) = 124
100 + 3x + 9 = 124
3x + 9 = 24
x = 5
Rate for interest for the third year = x + 5 = 10%
Hence, Option D is correct.
