Question : 1 [SSC CPO S.I.2008]
The simple interest and compound interest (compounded annually) on a certain sum of money with a given rate for a period of 2 years are Rs.900 and Rs.954 respectively. The sum of money is
a) Rs.3750
b) Rs.3700
c) Rs.3850
d) Rs.3650
Answer »Answer: (a)
Difference of CI and SI for two years
= Rs.(954 - 900) = Rs.54
Sum= Difference in CI and SI × $(100/{Rate})^2$
Rate = ${2 × \text"Difference" × 100}/\text"Simple interest"$
= ${2 × 5400}/900 = 12%$
Sum = 54 × $(100/12)^2$
= $54 × 25/3 × 25/3$ = Rs.3750
Using Rule 10,
C.I. = Rs.954, S.I.=Rs.900, P=?
C.I.= S.I.$(1 + R/200)$
954 = 900$(1 + R/200)$
$954/900 = 1 + R/200$
$954/900 - 1 = R/200$
${954 - 900}/900 = R/200$
$54/9 = R/2$
R = 12%
Now S.I. = ${P × R × T}/100$
900 = ${P × 12 × 2}/100$
P = Rs.3750
Question : 2 [SSC SO 2006]
Compound interest on a sum of money for 2 years at 4 per cent per annum is Rs.2,448. Simple interest of the same sum of money at the same rate of interest for 2 years will be
a) Rs.2,250
b) Rs.2,500
c) Rs.2,360
d) Rs.2,400
Answer »Answer: (d)
C.I.= P$(1 + r/100)^t$ - P
2448 = P$[(1 + r/100)^t - 1]$
or 2448 = P$[(1 + 4/100)^2 - 1]$
2448 = P$[676/625 - 1]$
2448 = P$[51/625]$
P = ${2448 × 625}/51$ = Rs.30,000
S.I. = ${30000 × 4 × 2}/100$ = Rs.2400
Using Rule 10,
Here, C.I. = Rs.2448, R = 4%, S.I. = ?
C.I.= S.I.$(1 + R/200)$
2448 = S.I.$(1 + 4/200)$
2448 = S.I.$(1 + 1/50)$
2448 = S.I.$(51/50)$
S.I. = ${2448 × 50}/51$ = Rs.2400
Question : 3 [SSC CGL Tier-I 2016]
A man borrowed some money from a private organisation at 5% simple interest per annum. He lended this money to another person at 10% compound interest per annum, and made a profit of Rs.26,410 in 4 years. The man borrowed
a) Rs.100000
b) Rs.200000
c) Rs.132050
d) Rs.150000
Answer »Answer: (a)
Let the principal be Rs.P. For 4 years,
S.I. = $\text"Principal × Time × Rate"/100$
= ${P × 4 × 5}/100$ = Rs.$P/5$
C.I. = P$[(1 + R/100)^T - 1]$
= P$[(1 + 10/100)^4 - 1]$
= P$[(11/10)^4 - 1]$
= P$(14641/10000 - 1) = {4641P}/10000$
According to the question,
${4641P}/10000 - P/5$ = 26410
${4641P - 2000P}/10000$ = 2641
${2641P}/10000$ = 2641
P = Rs.10000
Question : 4 [SSC CGL Tier-I 2014]
The compound interest on a certain sum of money for 2 years at 5% per annum is Rs.410. The simple interest on the same sum at the same rate and for the same time is
a) Rs.405
b) Rs.400
c) Rs.350
d) Rs.300
Answer »Answer: (b)
Compound interest = P $[(1 + R/100)^T - 1]$
410 = P$[(1 + 5/100)^2 - 1]$
410 = P$[(1 + 1/20)^2 - 1]$
410 = P$[(21/20)^2 - 1]$
410 = P$(441/400 - 1)$
410 = P$(41/400)$
P = ${410 × 400}/41$ = Rs.4000
S.I. = $\text"Principal × Time × Rate"/100$
= ${4000 × 2 × 5}/100$ = Rs.400
Using Rule 10,
Here, C.I. = Rs.410, R = 5%, S.I. = ?
C.I. = S.I.$(1 + R/200)$
410 = S.I.$(1 + 5/200)$
410 = S.I.$(205/200)$
S.I. = ${410 × 200}/205$ = Rs.400
Question : 5 [SSC CGL Tier-I 2013]
If the compound interest on a certain sum for two years at 12% per annum is Rs.2,544, the simple interest on it at the same rate for 2 years will be
a) Rs.2,440
b) Rs.2,400
c) Rs.2,480
d) Rs.2,500
Answer »Answer: (b)
C.I. = P$[(1 + R/100)^T - 1]$
2544 = P$[(1 + 12/100)^2 - 1]$
2544 = P$[(28/25)^2 - 1]$
2544 = P$(784/625 - 1)$
2544 = P$({784 - 625}/625)$
2544 = ${P × 159}/625$
P = ${2544 × 625}/159$ = Rs.10000
S.I. = ${P × R × T}/100$
= ${10000 × 2 × 12}/100$ = Rs.2400
Using Rule 10,
Here, C.I. = Rs.2544, R = 12%, S.I. = ?
C.I. = S.I.$(1 + R/200)$
2544 = S.I.$(1 + 12/200)$
2544 = S.I.$(212/200)$
S.I. = ${2544 × 200}/212$ = Rs.2400
