Answers :
1) Answer: D
Interest received by Gopi = 4400 * n * 12/100 = 528n
Interest received by Chandra = 5400 * (n + 8) * 2/100 = 108n + 864
528n – 108n – 864 = 816
=> n = 4
2) Answer: D
Amount received by Anita after 3 years = 4000 * (1.2)3 = Rs.6912
Amount received by Anita after 6 years = 6912 + 6912 * 0.10 * 3 = Rs.8985.6
3) Answer: D
2P – P = P * 4 * R/100
R = 25%
9P = P + (P * 25 * N/100)
N = 32
4) Answer: C
Interest earned = P[(1 + r/100)n – 1] + Pnr/100
= (40% of 5000) [(1 + 10/100)3 – 1] + (60% of 5000) * 3 * 8/100
= 662 + 720
= Rs.1382
5) Answer: C
Required gain = 6200 * 6/100 * 2 – 6200 * 4/100 * 2
= 744 – 496
= Rs.248
6) Answer: D
SI = 4400 * 12 * 2/100 = 1056
CI = 3000 * (1 + 10/100)2 – 3000
= Rs.630
Difference = 1056 – 630 = Rs.426
7) Answer: A
Sum invested = x
x * (1 + 10/100)2 = 8470
=> x = Rs.7000
Amount received by SI= 7000 * 4 * 20/100 + 7000
= Rs.12600
8) Answer: C
Let the amount of principal = Rs. x
So, according to the question,
x × (6/100 + 6.5/100 + 7/100 + 7.5/100) = 3807
x × (6 + 6.5 + 7 + 7.5)/100 = 3807
x × 27/100 = 3807
x = 3807 × 100/27
x = 14,100
9) Answer: E
In the question we don’t have any information regarding principal and the rate of interest.
So, we cannot find the solution of this question.
10) Answer: C
P * 15% * 2 = (P + 500) * 12% * 2 + 300
30%P=24%P+120+300
6%P=420
=> P = Rs.7000
Required interest = (2P + 500) * 2 * 12/100 =14500*2*12/100
= Rs.3480

Answers :
11) Answer: D
The difference between the simple interest and compound interest for 3 years is,
Difference = [Sum* r2 * (r + 300)]/1003
1123.2 = [Sum*144*312]/1003
Sum = (1123.2*100*100*100)/(144*312)
Sum = Rs. 25000
12) Answer: C
S.I = (1 / 16) P
(1 / 16) P = (P × r × r) / 100 (Here n=r)
1 / 16 = r2 / 100
r2 =100/16
r = 10 / 4 = 2 ½ %
13) Answer: B
Let Borrowed amount=x
Simple interest=P * N * R/100
CI=P * (1 + R/100)n – P
x/2 * 20 * 4/100=3600 – x/2
4x/10 + x/2=3600
9x=36000
x=Rs. 4000
CI=4000 * (1 + 10/100)2 – 4000
=Rs. 840
14) Answer: A
SI=P * N * R/100
SI=3640 – x – 2000=1640 – x
1640 – x=(x + 2000) * 15 * 2/100
164000 – 100x = 30x + 60000
130x=104000
x=Rs. 800
CA=P * (1 + R/100)n
CA=(5 * 800) * (1 + 20/100)2
=Rs. 5760
15) Answer: B
Let two parts be x and 11000 – x
(x*3*5)/100 = [(11000 – x)*9*2]/100
15x = 198000 – 18x
33x = 198000
x = 198000/33 = 6000
Two parts are Rs. 6000 and Rs. 5000
16) Answer: E
Difference = P * r * r/(100 * 100)
36 = P * 20 * 20/(100 * 100)
P = 900
17) Answer: A
In 5 years, amount = 22500
In 3 years, amount = 19500
S.I for 2 years = 22500 – 19500 = 3000
S.I for 1 year = 3000/2 = Rs. 1500
S.I for 3 year = 1500*3 = Rs. 4500
Principle = 19500 – 4500 = Rs. 15000
According to the question,
(15000 * 3 * r) / 100 = 4500
r = (4500 * 100) / (15000 * 3) = 10 %
18) Answer: D
CI = P * (1 + R/100)n – P
Sam received the amount = 7000 * (1 + x/100)6
Rahul received the amount = 7000 * (1 + x/100)3
[7000 * (1 + x/100)6]/ [7000 * (1 + x/100)3]= 27/8(1 + x/100)3 = 27/8
1 + x/100 = 3/2
100 + x = 150
x = 50%
19) Answer: B
P*1*10/100+P*1*12/100+P*14*1/100=9000
10P+12P+14P=900000
P=Rs.25000
20) Answer: B
8000*R1*3/100-8000*R2*3/100=1200
80*3(R1-R2) =1200
R1-R2=5%
