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]

shape Q1

If simple interest on a certain sum of money for 6 years at 5% per annum is same as the simple interest on Rs. 650 for 9 years at the rate of 12% per annum then the sum of money is
    A. Rs.2340 B. Rs.3240 C. Rs.2400 D. Rs.3500


[latex]\frac {X \times 6 \times 5}{100} = \frac {650 \times 12 \times 9}{100}[/latex]
[latex]\frac {30x}{100} = \frac {70,200}{100}[/latex]
30x = 70200
X = 2340

shape Q2

If the annual rate of simple interest increases from 8% to 13%, a man’s yearly income increases by Rs. 4800. His principal (in Rs.) is:
    A. Rs.90,000 B. Rs.96,000 C. Rs.88,000 D. Rs.1,00,000


[latex]\frac {x \times 13 \times 1}{100} – \frac {x \times 8 \times 1} {100} = 4800 [/latex]
[latex]\frac {13x}{100} – \frac{8x}{100} = 4800[/latex]
[latex]\frac{5x}{100} = 4800[/latex]
5x = 480000
x = 96000

shape Q3

A fixes the rate of interest 5% p.a. for first 3 years and for the next 4 years 6% p.a. and for the period beyond 7 years, 7.5% p.a. If A lent out Rs.1800 for 11 years, find the total interest earned by A?
    A. Rs.1422 B. Rs.1242 C. Rs.1244 D. Rs.1342


5% for 3 years = 15%
6% for 4 years = 24%
7.5% for 4 years = 30%
69% of 1800 = 1242

shape Q4

    A. 4:5 B. 7:5 C. 9:5 D. 8:5


R1 = 5x; R2 = 7x; T1 = T2 = [latex]\frac {1}{2}[/latex] yr
[latex] \frac {P1 \times 5x \times \frac {1}{2}}{100}[/latex] = [latex] \frac {P2 \times 7x \times \frac {1}{2}}{100}[/latex]
P1 : P2 = 7 : 5

shape Q5

Mr. Ravi finds that due to a fall in the rate of interest from 9% to 6%, his yearly income diminishes by Rs.267. His capital is ?
    A. Rs.3800 B. Rs.8400 C. Rs.8600 D. Rs.8900

Capital = x
3% of x = 267
x = 8900
