A. 8 B. 10

C. 12 D. Cannot be determined

E. None of these

Page 72: Mathematics MCQ's

Answer & Explanation

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

15000 x 1 +R 2

- 15000 -15000 x R x 2

= 96100 100

 15000 1 +R 2

- 1 -2R

= 96100 100

 15000(100 + R)2 - 10000 - (200 x R)

= 9610000

 R2 =96 x 2

= 643

 R = 8.

 Rate = 8%.

1. What is the rate of compound interest?

I.The principal was invested for 4 years.

 II.The earned interest was Rs. 1491.

A. I alone sufficient while II alone not sufficient to answer

B. II alone sufficient while I alone not sufficient to answer

C. Either I or II alone sufficient to answer

D. Both I and II are not sufficient to answer

E. Both I and II are necessary to answer

Answer & Explanation

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Let Principal = Rs. P and Rate = R% p.a. Then,

Amount = Rs. P 1 +R 4

100

 C.I. = P 1 +R 4

- 1100

P 1 +R 4

- 1 = 1491.100

Clearly, it does not give the answer.

3. An amount of money was lent for 3 years. What will be the difference between the simple and the compound interest earned on it at the same rate?

I.The rate of interest was 8 p.c.p.a.

 II.The total amount of simple interest was Rs. 1200.

A. I alone sufficient while II alone not sufficient to answer

B. II alone sufficient while I alone not sufficient to answer

C. Either I or II alone sufficient to answer

D. Both I and II are not sufficient to answer

E. Both I and II are necessary to answer

Answer & Explanation

Answer: Option E

Explanation:

Given: T = 3 years.

 I. gives: R = 8% p.a.

II. gives: S.I. = Rs. 1200.

Page 75: Mathematics MCQ's

Thus, P = Rs. 5000, R = 8% p.a. and T = 3 years.

 Difference between C.I. and S.I. may be obtained.

So, the correct answer is (E).

I.An amount doubles itself in 5 years on simple interest.

II.Difference between the compound interest and the simple interest earned on a certain amount in 2 years is Rs. 400.

 III.Simple interest earned per annum is Rs. 2000.

A. I only

B. II and III only

C. All I, II and III

D. Any two of the three

E. I only or II and III only

Answer & Explanation

Answer: Option E

Explanation:

  I.P x R x 5

= P           R = 20.100

 II. P 1 +R 2

- P -P x R x 2

= 400           PR2 = 4000000.100

100

III.P x R x 1

= 2000           PR = 200000.100

PR2

=4000000

          R = 20.PR 200000

Thus I only or (II and III) give answer.

 Correct answer is (E).

Answer & Explanation

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

P = Rs. 5000 & T = 2 years.

I. S.I. on Rs. 5000 in 5 years is Rs. 2000.

5000 x R x 5= 2000           R = 8.

1. Mr. Gupta borrowed a sum of money on compound interest. What will be the amount to be repaid if he is repaying the entire amount at the end of 2 years?

I.The rate of interest is 5 p.c.p.a.

II.Simple interest fetched on the same amount in one year is Rs. 600.

 III.The amount borrowed is 10 times the simple interest in 2 years.

A. I only

B. III only

Page 77: Mathematics MCQ's

C. I or II only

D. II and Either I or III only

E. All I, II and III are required

Answer & Explanation

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

  I. gives, Rate = 5% p.a.

 II. gives, S.I. for 1 year = Rs. 600.

III. gives, sum = 10 x (S.I. for 2 years).

Now I, and II give the sum.

For this sum, C.I. and hence amount can be obtained.

Thus, III is redundant.

Again, II gives S.I. for 2 years = Rs. (600 x 2) = Rs. 1200.

Now, from III, Sum = Rs. (10 x 1200) = Rs . 12000.

Thus, Rate =100 x 1200

= 5% p.a.2 x 12000

Thus, C.I. for 2 years and therefore, amount can be obtained.

Thus, I is redundant.

Hence, I or III redundant.

2. What is the compound interest earned at the end of 3 years?

I.Simple interest earned on that amount at the same rate and for the same period is Rs. 4500.

II.The rate of interest is 10 p.c.p.a.

 III.Compound interest for 3 years is more than the simple interest for that period by Rs. 465.

A. I and II only

B. II and III only

Page 78: Mathematics MCQ's

C. I and III only

D. Either II or III only

E. Any two of the three

Answer & Explanation

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

  I. gives, S.I for 3 years = Rs. 4500.

 II. gives, Rate = 10% p.a.

III. gives, (C.I.) - (S.I.) = Rs. 465.

Clearly, using I and III we get C.I. = Rs. (465 + 4500).

Thus, II is redundant.

Also, from I and II, we get sum =100 x 4500

= 15000.10 x 3

Now C.I. on Rs. 15000 at 10% p.a. for 3 years may be obtained.

Thus, III is redundant.

 Either II or III is redundant.
