Olympiad Test: Comparing Quantities - Question 1

A sum of money, at compound interest, yields Rs. 200 and Rs. 220 at the end of first and second years respectively. What is the rate percent?

Detailed Solution for Olympiad Test: Comparing Quantities - Question 1

We have A=220 and P=200 for the second year
So A=P(1+R100)1
220=200(1+R100)1
11/10-1=R/100
R=10%

Olympiad Test: Comparing Quantities - Question 2

The sale price of a shirt is Rs.176. If a discount of 20% is allowed on its marked price, what is the marked price of the shirt?

Detailed Solution for Olympiad Test: Comparing Quantities - Question 2

Let x be the marked price

We know

Marked price (Mp)= selling price+discount %of Mp

x=176+20%of x

x=176+0.2x 

x-0.2x=176

0.8x=176

x=176÷0.8

x=220

The marked price is Rs 220

Olympiad Test: Comparing Quantities - Question 3

The difference in S.I. and C.I. on a certain sum of money in 2 years at 15% p.a. is Rs.144. Find the sum.

Detailed Solution for Olympiad Test: Comparing Quantities - Question 3

Let principle be p

T=2years

R=15%

SI= P*R*T/100 

=P*2*15/100 

=3P/10amount for ci

= P(1+R/100) 

=p(1+15/100) 

=529/400pCI=529P/400-P 

= 529-400/400

= 129/400PCI-SI

=144(given)129p/400-3p/10

=144129p-120p/400

=1449p/100=144p

=144*100/9p

=6400Therefore sum

=6400rs

Olympiad Test: Comparing Quantities - Question 4

In what time will a sum of Rs. 800 at 5% p.a. C.I. amount to Rs. 882?

Detailed Solution for Olympiad Test: Comparing Quantities - Question 4

A = P(1+R/100)t
882 = 800(1+5/100)t
441/400 = (21/20)t
(21/20)2 = (21/20)t
t = 2 years

Olympiad Test: Comparing Quantities - Question 5

What is the C.I. on Rs. 8000 for 1 year at 5% p.a. payable half-yearly?

Detailed Solution for Olympiad Test: Comparing Quantities - Question 5

A = P ( 1 + R/100)t. Since its half yearly,
t = 2
= 8000 (1 + 5/200)2
= 8405
CI = A-P = 8405 - 8000 = 405

Olympiad Test: Comparing Quantities - Question 10

The cost of a vehicle is Rs.175000. If its value depreciates at the rate of 20% per annum, find the total depreciation after 3 years.

Detailed Solution for Olympiad Test: Comparing Quantities - Question 10

Value of the vehicle after 3 years 

= Rs.89600

 ∴ Total depreciation 

= Rs.(175000−89600)

= Rs.85400

Olympiad Test: Comparing Quantities - Question 11

The C.I. on a certain sum for 2 years is Rs. 410 and S.I. is Rs. 400. What is the rate of interest per annum?

Detailed Solution for Olympiad Test: Comparing Quantities - Question 11

Simple interest for 1 year =400/2=200
CI of 1 year =200
CI for 2nd year=410-200=210
For 2nd year Amount=210 and P=200
A = P (1+R/100)1
210 = 200(1+R/100)
R=5%

Olympiad Test: Comparing Quantities - Question 12

The C.I. on a certain sum for 2 years at 10% per annum is Rs. 525. Calculate the S.I. on the same sum for double the time at half the rate percent per annum.

Detailed Solution for Olympiad Test: Comparing Quantities - Question 12

Let the principal be 100x

First year interest = 10% = 10x

Second year interest =10% = 10/100 *110x =11x

Total interest = 21x

If interest is 21x , principal is 100x

If interest is Rs 525 , principal is = 525 /21x *100x = Rs 2500

Simple interest on Rs 2500 at 5% for 4 years is

2500 x 4 x 5/100= Rs500 

Olympiad Test: Comparing Quantities - Question 13

The S.I. on a sum of money for two years is Rs. 660, while C.I. is Rs.696.30, the rate of interest being the same in both the cases. Find the rate of interest.

Olympiad Test: Comparing Quantities - Question 14

A sum of money doubles itself in 3 years at C.I., when the interest is compounded annually. In how many years will it amount to 16 times of itself?

Olympiad Test: Comparing Quantities - Question 15

The C.I. on a certain sum at 5% for 2 years is Rs. 328. Calculate the S.I. for the sum at the same rate and for the same period.

Detailed Solution for Olympiad Test: Comparing Quantities - Question 15

CI = A-P
CI = P(1+R/100)2-P
328 = P[(1+5/100)2-1]
328 = P*41/400
P = 3200
SI = 3200*2*5/100 = 320
