B.5%

D.12%

E.None of these

Answers :

1) Answer: E

Difference = P * r * r/(100 * 100)

36 = P * 20 * 20/(100 * 100)

P = 900

2) Answer: A

In 5 years, amount = 22500

In 3 years, amount = 19500

S.I for 2 years = 22500 – 19500 = 3000

S.I for 1 year = 3000/2 = Rs. 1500

S.I for 3 year = 1500*3 = Rs. 4500

Principle = 19500 – 4500 = Rs. 15000

According to the question,

(15000 * 3 * r) / 100 = 4500

r = (4500 * 100) / (15000 * 3) = 10 %

3) Answer: D

CI = P * (1 + R/100)n – P

Sam received the amount = 7000 * (1 + x/100)6

Rahul received the amount = 7000 * (1 + x/100)3

[7000 * (1 + x/100)6]/ [7000 * (1 + x/100)3]= 27/8

(1 + x/100)3 = 27/8

1 + x/100 = 3/2

100 + x = 150

x = 50%

4) Answer: B

P*1*10/100+P*1*12/100+P*14*1/100=9000

10P+12P+14P=900000

P=Rs.25000

5) Answer: B

8000*R1*3/100-8000*R2*3/100=1200

80*3(R1-R2) =1200

R1-R2=5%
