MCQ: Compound Interest - 3 - Question 3

The difference between the simple interest and the compound interest at the rate of 33.33% p.a. for 2 years is Rs. 3600. If 2/3rd of this sum is invested at 15% p.a. compound interest for 2 years, what will be the interest (in Rs.) obtained?

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Compound Interest - 3 - Question 3

Difference between the CI and SI

Initial sum = 3 × 3 × 3600 = 32,400

Hence, option B is correct.

MCQ: Compound Interest - 3 - Question 4

A sum is invested at compound interest of 50% p.a. for four years. The sum of the amount of interest obtained in the first and third years is what percent of the sum of the amount of interest obtained in the second and fourth years?

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Compound Interest - 3 - Question 4

Amount at the end of the first, second, third, and fourth years be A1, A2, A3, A4
Let the sum be 16
Principal : A1 : A2 ; A3 : A4

= 16 : 24 : 36 : 54 : 81
The ratio of interest = 24 – 16 : 36 – 24 : 54 – 36 : 81 – 54 = 8 : 12 : 18 : 27

Hence, option D is correct.

MCQ: Compound Interest - 3 - Question 5

A sum of money becomes 8 times of itself in 3 years at a certain rate of interest per annum compounded annually. How many times of itself will the same sum of money become at the same rate in 7.5 years?

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Compound Interest - 3 - Question 5


R = 100%


P × 26 × 3
= 192 P
So, the sum will become 192 times itself in 7.5 years
Hence, option A is correct.

MCQ: Compound Interest - 3 - Question 6

What will be the difference between the compound interest and simple interest on a sum of Rs. 24,000 at the rate of 20% p.a. for 3 years?

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Compound Interest - 3 - Question 6

 

Alternate solution:-


CI in three years

SI in 3 years = 20 × 3 = 60%
Difference = 72.8 – 60 = 12.8%
12.8% of 24,000 = (12.5 + 0.3)% of 24,000

Hence, option D is correct.

MCQ: Compound Interest - 3 - Question 7

A sum of money becomes 172% of itself in 4 years when the rate of interest is different in different years. The interest obtained in the first, second, third and fourth years are in A.P. If the rate of interest in the first year is 12%, what is the rate of interest for the third year?

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Compound Interest - 3 - Question 7


Hence, option D is correct.

MCQ: Compound Interest - 3 - Question 8

Seema invested Rs. 4800 at compound interest of 50% p.a. for 3 years. Pooja invested Rs. x% of 4800 at 150% p.a. compound interest for 3 years. If Pooja got Rs. 300 more interest than Seema, what is the value of x?

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Compound Interest - 3 - Question 8



Interest received by Pooja = 11,400 + 300 = 11,700



x% of 4800 = 800
x = 16.67%
Hence, option A is correct.

MCQ: Compound Interest - 3 - Question 9

A sum becomes 184% of itself in four years when the rate of compound interest was different for different years. The rate of interest in the fourth year was 14.28% p.a. and the amount of interest in the second, third and fourth years was the same. If the interest of the first year was Rs. 450, what was the value (in Rs.) of the sum?

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Compound Interest - 3 - Question 9

Let principal = P, Amount at the end of first, second, third and fourth year be P, A1, A2, A3 and A4
P : A4 = 100 : 184
As the rate of interest in the fourth year = 14.28%
A3 : A4 = 7 : 8

Interest in fourth year = 184 – 161 = 23
A2 = 161 – 23 = 138
A1 = 138 – 23 = 115

Hence, option C is correct.

MCQ: Compound Interest - 3 - Question 10

A sum of Rs. 1600 is invested at compound interest for 4 years with different rates of interest for different years. The sum increased by 20% in the first year, 100% in the third year and 25% in the fourth year. If the total interest is 275% of the sum of money invested, what is the sum (in Rs.) of the total interest of the second and third years?

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Compound Interest - 3 - Question 10

Let principal = P, Amount at the end of first, second, third and fourth year be P, A1, A2, A3 and A4
P : A1 = 100 : 120
A2 : A3 : A4 = 50 : 100 : 125
P : A4 = 100 : 375
P : A1 : A2 : A3 : A4 = 100 : 120 : 150 : 300 : 375
Sum of interest in second and third year

Hence, option A is correct.

MCQ: Compound Interest - 3 - Question 11

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Compound Interest - 3 - Question 11

Amount after two years

Amount paid = 15,500
Amount remaining = 40,500 – 15,500 = 25,000
Amount paid at the end of four years

Total interest paid = 15,500 + 30,250 – 32,000 = 13,750
Hence, option A is correct.
