Ashima took a loan of Rs. $1,00,000$ at $12 \% p.a.$ compounded halfyearly. She paid Rs. $1,12,360$. If $(1.06)2$ is equal to $1.1236$, then the period for which she took the loan is:
  • A
    $2$ years
  • $1$ year
  • C
    $6$ months
  • D
    $1\frac{1}{2}$ Years
Answer
Correct option: B.
$1$ year
Given, principal $(P) =$ Rs.$100000$
Rate of interest $(R \%) = 12 \%$ per annum compounded half-yearly
Let m be the time period, $v$ Amount paid = Rs.$112360$
We know that,
Amount, when interest is compound half-yearly
i.e., $\text{A}=\text{P}\Big(1+\frac{\text{R}}{200}\Big)^\text{2n},$ where n = time period
$112360=100000\Big(1+\frac{\text{12}}{100}\Big)^\text{2m}$
$\Big(\frac{53}{50}\Big)^{2\text{m}}=\frac{112360}{100000}$
$\Big(\frac{53}{50}\Big)^{2\text{n}}=\frac{2809}{2500}$
$\Big(\frac{53}{50}\Big)^{2\text{}}=\Big(\frac{53}{50}\Big)^{2\text{n}}$
On comparing both sides, we get
$2n = 2$
$n = 1$
So, the time period is $1$ yr.
Hence, option $(b)$ is correct.

  • A
    $15 \%$
  • $20 \%$
  • C
    $25 \%$
  • D

Let $x$ be the $CP$ of the article.
Then, $SP$ of the article $=\frac{6}{5}\text{x}$
Now, $\text{gain}=(\text{SP}-\text{CP})$
$=\Big(\frac{6}{5}\text{x}-\text{x}\Big)$
$=\frac{\text{x}}{5}$
$\therefore\text{Gain percentage}=\Big(\frac{\text{gain}}{\text{CP}}\times100\Big)\%$
$=\Big(\frac{\frac{\text{x}}{5}}{\text{x}}\times100\Big)\%$
$=\Big(\frac{\text{x}}{5}\times\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)\times100\Big)\%$

  • A
    Rs. $1225$
  • B

  • C
    Rs. $1248$
  • Rs. $1261$
Answer
Correct option: D.
Rs. $1261$
$S.I =$ Rs. $60000$
Rate $(R) = 5 \%$
Period $(T) = 3$ years
$\therefore$ Principal $=\frac{\text{S.I}\times100}{\text{R}\times\text{T}}=\frac{1200\times100}{5\times3}$
$=\text{Rs. }8000$
$\therefore$ Amount on $C.I$ $=8000\Big(1+\frac{5}{100}\Big)^3$
$=\text{Rs. }8000\times\frac{21}{20}\times\frac{21}{20}\times\frac{21}{20}$
$=\text{Rs. }9261$
$\therefore$ $C.I = A - P $= Rs. $9261 - 8000$

If the simple interest on a sum of money at $10 \%$ per annum for $3$ years is Rs. $1500$, then the compound interest on the same sum at the same rate for the same period is:
  • Rs. $1655$
  • B
    Rs. $1155$
  • C
    Rs. $1555$
  • D
    Rs. $1855$
Answer
Correct option: A.
Rs. $1655$
Here, $\text{SI}=\frac{\text{P}\times\text{R}\times\text{T}}{100}$
$\Rightarrow\text{Rs. }1500=\frac{\text{P}\times10\times3}{100}$
$\Rightarrow\text{P}=\frac{1500\times100}{10\times3}=\text{Rs. }5000$
Now, $\text{A}=\text{P}\times\Big(1+\frac{\text{R}}{100}\Big)^\text{n}$
$=\text{Rs. }5000\times\Big(1+\frac{10}{100}\Big)^3$
$=\text{Rs. }5000\times\Big(\frac{110}{100}\Big)^3$
$=\text{Rs. }5000\times\Big(\frac{11}{10}\Big)\times\Big(\frac{11}{10}\Big)\times\Big(\frac{11}{10}\Big)$
$=\text{Rs. }(5\times11\times11\times11)$
$=\text{Rs. }6655$
$\therefore$ $CI = A - P =$ Rs. $(6655 - 5000)$ = Rs. $1655$

  • A
    $75$
  • B
    $45$
  • $80$
  • D
    $65$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$80$
Let the required number be $x$. Then,
we have: $(25 \%$ of $x) + 60 = x$
$\Rightarrow\Big(\text{x}\times\frac{25}{100}\Big)+60=\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{25\text{x}}{100}+60=\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow\Big(\frac{25\text{x}}{100}-\text{x}\Big)=-60$
$\Rightarrow\frac{-75\text{x}}{100}=-60$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\Big(60\times\frac{100}{75}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=80$

Avinash bought an electric iron for Rs. $900$ and sold it at a gain of $10 \%$. He sold another electric iron at $5 \%$ loss which was bought Rs. $1200$. On the transaction he has a:
  • A
    Profit of Rs. $75$
  • B
    Loss of Rs. $75$
  • Profit of Rs. $30$
  • D
    Loss of Rs. $30$
Answer
Correct option: C.
Profit of Rs. $30$
Avinash bought an electric iron = Rs. $900$
He sold it, at $10 \%$ profit.
So, selling price of the electric iron$=\frac{10}{100}\times900+900=90+900=\text{Rs.}990$
He also sold another electric iron at $5 \%$ loss.
Cost price of another electric iron = Rs.$1200$
So, selling price of the electric iron$=1200\times\frac{5}{100}\times1200$
$=1200-60=\text{Rs.}1140$
Total amount paid by Avinash for purchasing electric irons = Rs. $900$ + Rs.$1200$ =Rs.$2100$
Total received amount = Rs. $990$ + Rs. $1140$ = Rs. $2130$
So, his profit = Rs.$2130$- Rs.$2100$ = Rs.$30$ in transaction.

Answer
Correct option: C.
Rs. $750$
Let the basic price be $x$
$VAT = 10 \%$ of Rs. $x$
$=\text{Rs. }\Big(\text{x}\times\frac{10}{100}\Big)$

Price including $VAT$ $=\text{Rs. }\Big(\text{x}+\frac{\text{x}}{100}\Big)$
$=\text{Rs. }\frac{11\text{x}}{10}$
Now, $\frac{11\text{x}}{10}=825$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\Big(825\times\frac{10}{11}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=750$

Answer
Correct option: C.
Rs $506$
Latika bought a teapot = Rs. $120$ and a set of cups = Rs. $400$
She sold teapot at a prot of $5 \%$,
So, selling price of teapot$=\frac{5}{100}\times120+120$
$=\frac{120}{20}+120$
$= 6 + 120 =$ Rs. $126$
Also, she sold cups at a loss of $5 \%$. So, selling price of cups$=400-\frac{5}{100}\times400$
$= 400 - 20 =$ Rs. $380$
Then, the total amount received by her = Rs. $126 +$ Rs. $380 =$ Rs. $506$

    Rs. $5051$
  • Rs. $832$
  • D

$=\text{Rs. }5000\Big(1+\frac{8}{100}\Big)^2$
$=\text{Rs. }5000\times\frac{27}{25}\times\frac{27}{25}$
$=\text{Rs. }5832$
$\therefore$ $C.I = A - P =$ Rs. $5832 - 5000$

An article is at $10 \%$ more than the $CP$. If discount of $10 \%$ is allowed, then which of the following is right?
  • A
    $1 \%$ gain
  • $1 \%$ loss
  • C
    No gain no loss
  • D
    $1.1 \%$ loss
Answer
Correct option: B.
$1 \%$ loss
According to question,
Let $CP$ of the article is = Rs. $100$
$MP$ is $10 \%$ high of $CP$ mean = Rs. $110$
Discount always given on Marked Price
$10 \%$ discount of $MP$ means
$= \frac{10}{100} \times 110 = \text{Rs } 11$
$\therefore$ $SP = MP$ - Discount
$SP = 110 - 11 =$ Rs. $99$
$\therefore \text{ Loss%} = \frac{\text{CP - SP}}{\text{CP}} \times 100$
$= \frac{100 -99}{100} \times 100 = \frac{1}{100} \times 100 = 1\%$
