The following question based on simple interest topic of quantitative aptitude

Questions : A sum doubles itself in 16 years, then in how many years will it triple itself; rate of interest being simple

(a) 32 years

(b) 25 years

(c) 64 years

(d) 48 years

The correct answers to the above question in:

Answer: (a)

Case I

Principal = Rs. x

Interest = Rs. x

Rate = ${SI × 100}/\text"Principal × Time"$

= ${x × 100}/{x × 16} = 25/4%$ per annum

Case II

Interest = Rs. 2x

Time = ${SI × 100}/\text"Principal × Rate"$

= ${2x × 100 × 4}/{x × 25}$ = 32 years

Using Rule 3,

R = ${(n - 1)}/T × 100%$

= ${(2 - 1)}/16 × 100%$

= $25/4 % = 6{1}/4%$

Now, T = ${(n - 1)}/R × 100%$

= ${(3 - 1)}/{25/4} × 100$

= $800/25$ = 32 years.

Question : 1

At a certain rate of simple interest, a certain sum of money becomes double of itself in 10 years. It will become treble of itself in

a) 18 years

b) 15 years

c) 30 years

d) 20 years

Answer: (d)

If principal be x, interest = x

and rate = r% p.a. then

Rate = ${SI × 100}/\text"Principal × Time"$

= ${x × 100}/{x × 10}$ = 10%

Now, p = x, interest = 2x

Then, time = ${SI × 100}/\text"Principal × Rate"$

= ${2x × 100}/{x × 10}$ = 20 years

Using Rule 3,

R = ${(2 - 1)}/10$ × 100%

R = 10%

T = ${(n - 1)}/R × 100$ years

= ${3 - 1}/10 × 100$ = 20 years.

Question : 2

If a sum of money at simple interest doubles in 12 years, the rate of interest per annum is

a) 7.5%

b) 16$2/3$%

c) 10%

d) 8$1/3$%

Answer: (d)

Let the principal be x.

Amount = 2x

Interest = (2x - x) = x

Rate = ${S.I. × 100}/\text"Principal × Time"$

= ${x × 100}/{x × 12} = 25/3 = 8{1}/3%$

Using Rule 3,

R = ${(2 - 1)}/12 × 100%$

R = $25/3% = 8{1}/3$%

Question : 3

At what rate of simple interest per annum will a sum become $7/4$ of itself in 4 years ?

a) 18$1/4$%

b) 18%

c) 18$1/2$%

d) 18$3/4$%

Answer: (d)

Let the principal be x

Principal + SI = ${7x}/4$

SI = ${7x}/4 - x = {3x}/4$

Rate = ${SI × 100}/\text"Principal × Time"$

= ${3x × 100}/{4 × x × 4} = 18{3}/4%$

Using Rule 3,

R = ${(7/4 - 1)}/4 × 100%$

= $3/16$ × 100%

= $75/4% = 18{3}/4%$

Question : 4

A sum of money becomes $41/40$ of itself in $1/4$ years at a certain rate of simple interest. The rate of interest per annum is

a) 1%

b) 10%

c) 5%

d) 2.5%

Answer: (b)

Let the principal be Re.1

S.I. = $41/40 - 1 = 1/40$

Now, rate = ${\text"Interest" ×100}/{\text"Principal × Time"}$

= ${1/40 × 100}/{1 × 1/4} = {100 × 4}/40$ = 10%

Using Rule 3,

R = ${(41/40 - 1) × 100%}/{1/4}$

= $1/40 × 4 × 100%$ = 10%

Question : 5

Rs.6,000 becomes Rs.7,200 in 4 years at a certain rate of simple interest. If the rate becomes 1.5 times of itself, the amount of the same principal in 5 years will be

a) Rs.8,250

b) Rs.8,000

c) Rs.9,000

d) Rs.9,250

Answer: (a)

Using Rule 1,

SI = Rs.(7200–6000) = Rs.1200

SI = $\text"PRT"/100$

1200 = ${6000 × R × 4}/100$

R = ${1200 × 100}/{6000 × 4}$ = 5%

New rate of R = 5×1.5 = 7.5%

Then, SI = ${6000 × 7.5 × 5}/100$ = Rs.2250

Amount = Rs.(6000 + 2250) = Rs.8250
