Question : 16 [SSC CGL Prelim 1999]
A sum of money becomes $7/6$ of itself in 3 years at a certain rate of simple interest. The rate per annum is :
a) 6$5/9$%
b) 5$5/9$%
c) 25%
d) 18%
Answer »Answer: (b)
Principal = P
Amount = ${7p}/6$
S.I. = ${7p}/6 - P = P/6$
R = ${S.I × 100}/{P × T} = {P × 100}/{6 × p × 3}$
= $50/9 = 5{5}/9%$
Using Rule 3If a certain sum becomes 'n' times of itself in T years on Simple Interest, then the rate per cent per annum is.R% = ${(n - 1)}/T × 100%$ andT = ${(n - 1)}/R × 100%$
R% = ${(7/6 - 1) × 100%}/3$
= $1/18 × 100% = 50/9%$
= 5$5/9$%
Question : 17 [SSC CAPFs 2016]
A certain sum of money amounts to Rs. 2200 at 5% p.a. rate of interest, Rs. 2320 at 8% interest in the same period of time. The period of time is :
a) 4 years
b) 3 years
c) 2 years
d) 5 years
Answer »Answer: (c)
Principal = Rs.P and time = T years
S.I. = $\text"Principal × Time × Rate"/100$
According to the question,
P + ${PT × 5}/100$ = 2200
P + ${PT}/20$ = 2200 ...(i)
Again, ${PT × 8}/100 - {PT × 5}/100$
= 2320 - 2200
${3PT}/100$ = 120
PT = ${120 × 100}/3$ = 4000 ...(ii)
From equation (i),
P + $4000/20$ = 2200
P = 2200 - 200 = Rs. 2000
From equation (ii),
PT = 4000
T = $4000/2000$ = 2 years
Alternative Method
Difference in rates
= 8 - 5 = 3%
Since,3% ≡ 2320 - 2200 = 120
5% ≡ $120/3$ × 5 = 200
Principal = Rs.(2200 - 200) = Rs.2000
Time = ${200 × 100}/{2000 × 5}$ = 2 years
Question : 18 [SSC CGL Tier-I 2016]
The rate of simple interest per annum at which a sum of money doubles itself in 16$2/3$ years is
a) 5%
b) 4%
c) 6$2/3$%
d) 6%
Answer »Answer: (d)
According to the question,
Principal = Rs.x.
Interest = Rs.x.
Time = $50/3$ years
Rate = ${Interest × 100}/\text"Principal × Time"$
= ${x × 100}/{x × {50/3}}$
= ${100 × 3}/50$ = 6% per annum
Question : 19 [SSC CGL Prelim 2007]
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 »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
Question : 20 [SSC CGL Prelim 2003]
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 »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%
