Simple Interest Quiz 2

shape Introduction

What is simple interest? Simple interest is a quick and easy method of calculating the interest charge on a loan. Simple interest is determined by multiplying the daily interest rate by the principal by the number of days that elapse between payments.
Important Formulae : 1. Simple interest(S.I) = [latex]\frac{principal(P) \times rate(R) \times time(T)}{100}[/latex]
2. Principal(P) = [latex]\frac{100 \times Simple interest}{Rate \times time}[/latex]
3. Rate = [latex]\frac{100 \times Simple interest}{principal \times time}[/latex]
4. Time = [latex]\frac{100 \times Simple interest}{principal \times rate}[/latex]
5. Amount = Principal + simple interest (or) Amount = P(1 + [latex]\frac{R \times T}{100} [/latex])
Simple Interest is one of important topic in Quantitative Aptitude Section. In Simple Interest Quiz 2 article candidates can find questions with an answer. By solving this questions candidates can improve and maintain, speed, and accuracy in the exams. Simple Interest Quiz 2 questions are very useful for different exams such as IBPS PO, Clerk, SSC CGL, SBI PO, NIACL Assistant, NICL AO, IBPS SO, RRB, Railways, Civil Services etc.

shape Q1

On a certain sum, the simple interest at the end of 5(1/3) years becomes 4/9 of the sum.What is the rate percent ?
    A. 5.5% B. 9.1% C. 7.6% D. 8.3%


R = [latex]\frac {100 \times (\frac {4x}{9})}{x \times \frac {16}{3}}[/latex]
R = [latex]\frac {100 \times 4 \times 3}{9 \times 16} = \frac {100}{12} = 8.3%[/latex]

shape Q2

P is going to pay Rs.700 to Q, 7 months later at 6% annual SI, Q is going to pay Rs.550 to P, 12 months later at 8% annual SI, if they decide to settle the debts, who will pay what amount to whom ?
    A. Rs.149 B. Rs.167 C. Rs.155 D. Rs.197


[latex]P + (p × 6 × \frac {7}{12} × 100) = 700 [/latex]
[latex]1200p + 42P = 700 \times 1200 [/latex]
P = 676.33
For Q:
[latex]P + (p × 8 × \frac {12}{12} × 100) = 550 [/latex]
1200P + 96P = 550 × 1200
P = 509.26
Q = 676 - 509 = 167

shape Q3

Two equal some of money were invested at an annual rate of 10%, One sum at SI and other at CI, If the difference between the interest after 2 years was Rs.100, What were the sum invested ?
    A. 25,000 B. 100000 C. 20,000 D. 10,000


Assume X =100
SI = 120
CI = 121
100 mean difference 1
200 mean difference 2
Hence 10000 mean difference 100

shape Q4

A man invests Rs.8000 for 5 years at 5% p.a. SI interest reckoned yearly. Income tax at the rate of 20% on the interest earned is deducted at the end of each year. Find the amount at the end of the fifth year.
    A. Rs.10,500 B. Rs.10,500 C. Rs.9,600 D. Rs.10,000


5% is the rate of interest. 20% deducted mean rate of Interest 4%
SI = [latex]8000 \times 4 \times \frac {5}{100} = 1600[/latex]
The amount at the end of 5 years = 8000 + 1600 = 9600

shape Q5

Ajay bought Rs.11,000 from a bank to buy a car at 12% simple Interest. If he paid $ 6,600 as interest while clearing the loan, find the time for which the loan was given.
    A. 7 B. 3 C. 4 D. 5


T = [latex]\frac {6600}{11000 \times 0.12}[/latex] = 5
