Question 6 of 20
6. Question
A sum of money lent out at simple interest amounts to Rs 720 after 2 years and to Rs 1,020 after a further period of 5 years. Find the sum and the rate %.
Hint
S.I. for 5 years
= Rs (1020 –720) = Rs 300
SI. for 2 years
=
∴ Principal = Rs (720 – 120) = Rs 600
Now, P = 600, T = 2, S.I. = 120
∴

Question 13 of 20
13. Question
A milk man borrowed Rs 2,500 from two money lendeRs For one loan, he paid 5% p.a. and for the other, he paid 7% p.a. The total interest paid for two years was Rs 275. How much did he borrow at 7% rate?
Hint
Let he borrowed at 5% = Rs x
∴ He borrowed at 7% = Rs (2500 – x)
Now I₁ + I₂ = 275
⇒ 10x + 14 (2500 – x) = 27500
⇒ 4x = 35000 – 27500 = 7500
⇒ x = Rs 1875
∴ Sum borrowed at 7% rate
= 2500 – 1875 = Rs 625

Nitin borrowed some money at the rate of 6% p.a. for the first three years, 9% p.a. for the next five years and 13% p.a. for the period beyond eight years If the total interest paid by him at the end of eleven years is Rs 8160, how much money did he borrow?
Hint
Let the sum be Rs x. Then,
⇒ 18 x + 45x + 39x = (8160 × 100)
⇒ 102x = 816000
⇒ x = 8000.

Question 15 of 20
15. Question
Mr. Thomas invested an amount of Rs 13,900 divided in two different schemes A and B at the simple interest rate of 14% p.a. and 11% p.a. respectively. If the total amount of simple interest earned in 2 years be Rs 3508, what was the amount invested in Scheme B?
Hint
Let the sum invested in Scheme A be Rs x and that in Scheme B be Rs (13900 – x).
Then,
⇒ 28x – 22x = 350800 – (13900 × 22)
⇒ 6x = 45000
⇒ x = 7500.
So, sum invested in Scheme B
= Rs (13900 – 7500) = Rs 6400.

Question 16 of 20
16. Question
An amount of Rs 1,00,000 is invested in two types of shares. The first yields an interest of 9% p.a. and the second, 11% p.a. If the total interest at the end of one year is 9¾% , then the amount invested in each share was:
Hint
Let the sum invested at 9% be Rs x and that invested at 11% be Rs (100000 – x).
Then,
⇒ 2x = (1100000 – 975000) = 125000
⇒ x = 62500.
∴ Sum invested at 9% = Rs 62500.
Sum invested at 11%
= Rs (100000 – 62500) = Rs 37500.

Question 17 of 20
17. Question
David invested certain amount in three different Schemes A, B and C with the rate of interest 10% p.a., 12% p.a. and 15% p.a. respectively. If the total interest accrued in one year was Rs 3200 and the amount invested in Scheme C was 150 % of the amount invested in Scheme A and 240% of the amount invested in Scheme B, what was the amount invested in Scheme B?
Hint
Let x, y and z be the amounts invested in schemes A, B and C respectively. Then,
⇒ 10x + 12y + 15z = 320000 … (i)
Now, z = 240% of y
=
… (ii)And, z = 150% of x
=
… (iii)From (i), (ii) and (iii), we have :
16y + 12y + 36y = 320000
⇒ 64y = 320000
⇒ y = 5000.
∴ Sum invested in Scheme B = Rs 5000.

Question 18 of 20
18. Question
Rajesh gave Rs 1200 on loan. Some amount he gave at 4% per annum simple interest and remaining at 5% per annum simple interest. After two years, he got Rs 110 as interest. Then the amounts given at 4% and 5% per annum simple interest are, respectively :
Hint
Let the amount of the loss at 4% per annum be Rs x.
Amount given at 5% per annum = Rs (1200 – x)
Now,
⇒ x = Rs 500
And, (1200 – x)
= 1200 – 500 = Rs 700

Question 19 of 20
19. Question
Divide Rs 2379 into 3 parts so that their amounts after 2, 3 and 4 years respectively may be equal, the rate of interest being 5% per annum at simple interest. The first part is:
Hint
Let the parts be x, y and [2379 – (x + y)].
But x + y +z = 2379.
⇒ 1380 k + 1320 k + 1256 k
= 2379 × 11 × 23 × 6
Hence, the first part is Rs 828.
