On selling a jug for Rs. $144,$ a man loses $\frac{1}{2}$ of his outlay. If it is sold for Rs. $189,$ what is the gain percent:
- ✓
$12.5\%$
- B
$25\%$
- C
$30\%$
- D
$50\%$
AnswerCorrect option: A. $12.5\%$
First S.P. of jug = Rs. $144$
Loss $=\frac{1}{7}$ of $C.P.$
Let $C.P. = x$
Then S.P $=\text{x}-\frac{1}{7}\text{x}$
$=\frac{6}{7}\text{x}$
$\therefore\frac{6}{7}\text{x}=144$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{144\times6}{8}$
$=24\times7=\text{Rs. }168$
$\therefore C.P = Rs. 168$
Second $S.P. = Rs. 189$
Gain $= S.P. - C.P.$
$= 189 - 168 = Rs. 21$
$\text{Gain%}=\frac{\text{Gain}\times100}{\text{C.P}}$
$=\frac{21\times100}{168}=12.5\%$
Gain$\% = 12.5\%$

The boys and girls in a school are in the ratio $9 : 5$. If the number of girls is $320$, then the total strength of the school is:
AnswerLet the number of boys in the school be $x.$
Since, the ratio of boys and girls in the school $= 9 : 5.$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{Number of boys}}{\text{Number of girls}}=\frac{9}{5}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{x}}{320}=\frac{9}{5}$
$\Rightarrow\text{5x}=320\times9$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{320\times9}{5}$
$\Rightarrow64\times9$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=576$
$\therefore$ The total strength of the school $= 576 + 320 = 896$
Hence, the correct alternative is option $(b).$

- A
$18 $ years
- B
$20 $ years
- ✓
$22 $ years
- D
$24 $ years
AnswerCorrect option: C. $22 $ years
$R_1=12 \% $
$R_2=10 \% $
$P_1=\text { Rs. } 8000 $
$P_2=\text { Rs. } 9100$
Let their amounts be equal in T years.
$\text { Amount }_1= S _{ I } I _1+ P _1 $
$=\frac{ P _1 \times r _1 \times T }{100}+ P _1 $
$=960 T+8000 $
$\text { Amount }_2= S . I _2+ P _2 $
$=\frac{ P _2 \times r _2 \times T }{100}+ P _2 $
$=\frac{9100 \times 10 \times T }{100}+9100 $
$=910 T+9100$
Amount $_1=$ Amount $_2$
$\Rightarrow 960 T+8000=910 T+9100 $
$\Rightarrow 960 T-910 T=9100-8000 $
$\Rightarrow 50 T=1100 $
$\Rightarrow T =22$
Hence, after $22$ years their amounts will be equal.

The simple interest on a certain sum is $\frac{16}{25}$ of the sum. If the rate percent per annum and the time are numerically equal, then the rate percent is:
- ✓
$8\%$
- B
$4\%$
- C
$6\%$
- D
$12\%$
AnswerLet the sum (P) be Rs. $x$
Then, the simple interest (I) $=\text{Rs.}\frac{16}{25}\text{x}$
Also,
Rate $(R) = R\%$
Time (T) = R years ($\because$ the rate percent per annum and the time are numerically equal)
$\text{I}=\frac{\text{P}\ \times\ \text{R}\ \times\ \text{T}}{100}$
$\Rightarrow\text{R}=\frac{100\ \times\ \text{I}}{\text{P}\ \times\ \text{T}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{R}=\frac{100\ \times\ \frac{16}{25}\text{x}}{\text{x}\ \times\ \text{R}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{R}\ \times \text{R}=\frac{{64\text{x}}}{\text{x}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{R}^2=8^2$
$\Rightarrow\text{R}=8\%$
Hence, the correct option is $(a).$

$\therefore\text{I}=\frac{\text{P}\times\text{R}\times\text{T}}{100}=\frac{3000\times11\times2}{100}=\text{Rs. }660$
Now, amount $(A) = P + I$
$= 3000 + 660$

The ages of Ravish and Shikha are in the ratio $3 : 8$. Six years hence, their ages will be in the ratio $4 : 9$. The present age of Ravish is:
- ✓
$18$ years
- B
$15$ years
- C
$12$ years
- D
$21$ years
AnswerCorrect option: A. $18$ years
Let the present age of Ravish and Shikha be $3x$ and $8x$, respectively,
After six years,
Age of Ravish $= (3x + 6)$ years and
Age of Shikha $= (8x + 6)$ years
Since, $(\text{3x}+6):(8\text{x}+6)=4:9$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{(3x}+6)}{\text{(8x}+6)}=\frac{4}{9}$
$\Rightarrow9(3\text{x}+6)=4(8\text{x}+6)$
$\Rightarrow27\text{x}+54=32\text{x}+24$
$\Rightarrow-5\text{x}=-30$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{-30}{-5}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=6$
$\therefore\text{3x}=3\times6=18$
So, the present age of Ravish is $18$ years.
Hence, the correct alternative is option $(a).$

- B
$20\%$
- C
$15\%$

AnswerCorrect option: A. $25\%$
Let the cost price of one pen be $₹1.$
Then, $CP$ of $20$ pens $= Rs. 20$
and SP of $20$ pens $= Rs. 15$ ($\because SP$ of $20$ pens $= CP$ of $15$ pens)
Therfore, $CP$ is more than $SP.$
So, Loss $= CP - SP$
$= Rs. 20 - Rs. 15$
$= Rs. 5$
Loss $\% =\frac{\text{Loss}}{\text{CP}}\times100$
$=\frac{5}{20}\times100$
$=25\%$
Hence, the correct option is $(a).$

On selling an article for Rs. $144$ a man loses $10\%.$ At what price should he sell it to gain $10\%?$
- A
Rs. $158.40$
- B
Rs. $172.80$
- ✓
Rs. $176$
- D
Rs. $192$
AnswerCorrect option: C. Rs. $176$
Let the $CP$ of an article be $x.$
$SP$ of the article = Rs. $144$
Loss $= 10\%$
Therefore, $CP$ is more than $SP.$
Now, Loss = $CP - SP$ and Loss = Loss percent $\times CP$
Thus, $CP - SP $= Loss percent $\times CP$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}-144=\frac{10}{100}\times\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}-144=\frac{1}{10}\times\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow10\text{x}-1440=\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow10\text{x}-\text{x}=1440$
$\Rightarrow9\text{x}=1440$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{1440}{9}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=160$
Therefore, $CP$ of the article = Rs. $160$
Now, in order to gain $10\%$, let the new $SP$ be $y.$
Gain = Gain percent $\times CP$
$=\frac{10}{100}\times160$
$= Rs. 16$
$SP = CP +$ Gain
$= Rs. 160 + Rs. 16$
$= Rs. 176$
Hence, the correct option is $(d).$

The mean proportional of a and b is $10$ and the value of a is four times the value of $b$. The value of $a + b (a > 0, b > 0)$ is:
AnswerSince, the mean proportional of two positive numbers a and b is the positive number x such that $\frac{\text{a}}{\text{x}}=\frac{\text{x}}{\text{b}}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{a}}{10}=\frac{10}{\text{b}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{ab}=100$
But $\text{a}=4\text{b}$
$\Rightarrow\text{4b}\times\text{b}=100$
$\Rightarrow\text{b}^2=\frac{100}{4}$
$\Rightarrow\text{b}^2=25$
$\Rightarrow\text{b}=\sqrt{25}$
$\Rightarrow\text{b}=5$
$\Rightarrow\text{a}=4\times5=20$
$\therefore\text{a}+\text{b}=20+5=25$
Hence, the correct alternative is option $(b).$

AnswerCorrect option: D. $Rs. 72$
Let the $CP$ of a pen be $x.$
SP of a pen $= Rs. 48$
Loss $= 20\%$
Therefore, $CP$ is more than $SP.$
Now, Loss $= CP - SP$ and Loss = Loss percent $\times CP$
Thus, $CP - SP =$ Loss percent $\times CP$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}-48=\frac{20}{100}\times\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow100\text{x}-4800=20\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow100\text{x}-20\text{x}=4800$
$\Rightarrow80\text{x}=4800$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{4800}{80}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=60$
Therefore, $CP$ of the pen $= Rs. 60$
Now, in order to gain $20\%$, let the new $SP$ be $y.$
Gain = Gain percent $\times CP$
$=\frac{20}{100}\times60$
$= Rs.12$
$SP = CP + Gain$
$= Rs. 60 + Rs. 12$
$= Rs. 72$
Hence, the correct option is ($d).$

If Rs. $840$ is divided between $P$ and $Q$ in the ratio $3 : 4$, then $P'$s share is:
- A
$Rs. 340$
- B
$Rs. 480$
- ✓
$Rs. 360$
- D
$Rs. 400$
AnswerCorrect option: C. $Rs. 360$
Let $P$'s share be $Rs. x.$
Then $Q$'s share $= Rs. (840 - x)$
As, $P'$s share : $Q$'s share $= 3 : 4$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{P's share}}{\text{Q's share}}=\frac34$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{x}}{(840-\text{x})}=\frac{3}{4}$
$\Rightarrow\text{4x}=3(840-\text{x})$
$\Rightarrow\text{4x}=3\times840-\text{3x}$
$\Rightarrow\text{4x}+\text{3x}=3\times840$
$\Rightarrow7\text{x}=3\times840$
$\text{x}=\frac{3\times840}{7}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=3\times120$
$\therefore\text{x}=360$
So, $P$'s share is Rs. $360.$
Hence, the correct alternative is option $(c).$

- A
$Rs. 724$
- B
$Rs. 648$
- ✓

- D
$Rs. 792$
AnswerCorrect option: C. $Rs. 768$
Let the rate be $R \%$
$S.I. = A - P$
$= 720 - 600$
$= Rs. 120$
Time $= 4$ years
$\text{R}=\frac{10\times\text{S.I.}}{\text{P}\times\text{T}}$
$\text{R}=\frac{100\times120}{600\times4}$
$=5$
Rate of interest $= 5\%$
Now,
$\text{R}=(5+2)\%=7\%$
$\text{S.I.}=\frac{\text{P}\times\text{R}\times\text{T}}{100}$
$=\frac{600\times7\times4}{100}$

The $CP$ of a chair is $Rs. 3300$. If it is sold at a loss of $10\%$, then $SP$ is:
- A
$Rs. 3000$
- B
$Rs. 3070$
- C
$Rs. 2790$
- ✓
$Rs. 2970$
AnswerCorrect option: D. $Rs. 2970$
Let the $SP$ be $x.$
$CP = Rs. 3300$
Loss $= 10\%$
Therfore, $CP$ is more than $SP.$
Now,
Loss $= 10\%$ of $CP$ and $SP = CP$ - loss
So, $SP = CP - 10\%$ of $CP$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=3300-\frac{10}{100}\times3300$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\Big(1-\frac{1}{10}\Big)3300$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\Big(\frac{9}{10}\Big)3300$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=2970$
Thus, $SP = Rs. 2970$
Hence, the correct option is $(d).$

As, $\frac{1}{\text{a}}:\frac{1}{\text{b}}:\frac{1}{\text{c}}=3:4:5$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{\text{a}}:\frac{1}{\text{b}}=3:4$ and $\frac{1}{\text{b}}:\frac{1}{\text{c}}=4:5$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{\text{a}}\div\frac{1}{\text{b}}=\frac{3}{4}$ and $\frac{1}{\text{b}}\div\frac{1}{\text{c}}=\frac45$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{\text{a}}\times\frac{\text{b}}{1}=\frac{3}{4}$ and $\frac{1}{\text{b}}\times\frac{\text{c}}{1}=\frac{4}{5}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{b}}{\text{a}}=\frac{3}{4}$ and $\frac{\text{c}}{\text{b}}=\frac{4}{5}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}}=\frac{4}{3}$ and $\frac{\text{b}}{\text{c}}=\frac{5}{4}$ (Reciprocal of both sides)
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}}=\frac{4\times5}{3\times5}$ and $\frac{\text{b}}{\text{c}}=\frac{5\times3}{4\times3}$

- A
Loss of $Rs. 200$
- B
Profit of $Rs. 400$
- ✓
Loss of $Rs. 400$
- D
Profit of $Rs. 200$
AnswerCorrect option: C. Loss of $Rs. 400$
For bufalo, $CP = Rs. = 44000$
Loss$\% = 5\%$
$\therefore\text{Loss}\%=\frac{\text{Loss}}{\text{CP}}\times100\%$
$\Rightarrow5=\frac{\text{Loss}}{44000}\times100$
$\Rightarrow\text{Loss}=5\times440=\text{Rs.}2200$
So, $SP = CP -$ Loss $= 44000 - 2200 = Rs. 41800$
For cow, $CP = Rs. 18000$
Profit$\% = 10\%$
$\therefore\text{Profit}\%=\frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{CP}}\times100\%$
$\Rightarrow10=\frac{\text{Profit}}{18000}\times100$
Profit $= Rs. 1800$
So, $SP = CP +$ Profit $= 18000 + 1800 = Rs. 19800$
Total $CP$ of buffalo and cow $= 44000 + 18000 = Rs. 62000$
Total $SP$ of buffalo and cow $= 41800 + 19800 = Rs. 61600$

AnswerCorrect option: A. $50\%$
Let the total lemons be $12.$
$CP$ of $6$ lemons $= Rs. 1$
then, $CP$ of $12$ lemons $= Rs. 2$
Also, $SP$ of $4$ lemons $= Rs. 1$
then, $SP$ of $12$ lemons $= Rs. 3$
Therefore, SP is more than $CP.$
So, Gain $= SP - CP$
$= Rs. 3 - Rs. 2$
$= Rs. 1$
Gain % $=\frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{CP}}\times100$
$=\frac{1}{2}\times100$
$=50\%$

- A
$6\%$
- B
$7\frac12\%$
- ✓
$8\%$

AnswerLet the sum be Rs. $x$
Rate of interest $= r\%$
Time $=2\frac12$ years $=\frac52$ years
Amount $=\frac65\times\text{Sum}$
Rate $= ?$
Amount $=\frac65\times\text{Sum}$
Principal $+ S.I. = $Amount
$\text{Principal}+\frac{\text{Principal}\times\text{Rate}\times\text{Time}}{100}=\frac65\times\text{Principal}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}+\frac{\text{x}\times\text{r}\times5}{100\times2}=\frac65\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}\Big(1+\frac{5\text{r}}{100\times2}\Big)=\frac65\text{x}$

- A
$Rs. 567$
- B
$Rs. 693$
- ✓
$Rs. 700$
- D
$Rs. 730$
AnswerCorrect option: C. $Rs. 700$
Let the $CP$ be $x.$
$SP = Rs. 630$
Loss $= 10\%$
Therfore, $CP$ is more than $SP.$
Now,
Loss $= 10\%$ of $CP$ and $SP = CP $- loss
So, $SP = CP - 10\%$ of $CP$
$\Rightarrow630=\text{x}-\frac{10}{100}\times\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow630=\Big(1-\frac{1}{10}\Big)\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow630=\Big(\frac{9}{10}\Big)\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{6300}{9}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=700 $
Thus, $CP = Rs. 700$

$Rs. 160$
- B
$Rs. 40$
- ✓
$Rs. 80$

AnswerCorrect option: C. $Rs. 80$
It is given that,
Sum $(P_1) = Rs. x$
Rate $(R_1) = R%$
Time $(T_1) = 2 years$
Interest $(I_1) = Rs. 80$
$\text{I}_1=\frac{\text{P}_1\ \times\ \text{R}_1\ \times\ \text{T}_1}{100}$
$\Rightarrow80=\frac{\text{x}\ \times\ \text{R}\ \times\ 2}{100}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{2\text{R}\text{x}}{100}=80\ ...(\text{i})$
Now,
Sum $(P_2) = Rs. 2x$
Rate $(R_2) = R%$
Time $(T_2) = 1 year$
$\text{I}_2=\frac{\text{P}_2\ \times\ \text{R}_2\ \times\ \text{T}_2}{100}$
$=\frac{2\text{x}\ \times\ \text{R}\ \times\ 1}{100}$
$=\frac{2\text{R}\text{x}}{100}$
$=80$ [From (i)]
Therefore, $I_2 = Rs. 80$

AnswerCorrect option: C. $3$ years $6$ months
Let Time = T years
Simple Interset = Amount - Sum
$= 2278.50 - 1860$
$= 418.5$
Again
Simple Interset = $=\frac{\big(\text{sum}\times\text{interest rate}\times\text{time}\big)}{100}$
$\Rightarrow418.5=\frac{(1860\times9\times\text{T})}{100}$
$\Rightarrow418.5\times100=1860\times9\times\text{T}$
$\Rightarrow41850=1860\times9\times\text{T}$
$\Rightarrow\text{T}=\frac{41850}{\big(18060\times9)}$
$\Rightarrow\text{T}=\frac{41850}{\big(186\times9)}$ ($41850$ and $1860$ is divided by $10)$
$\Rightarrow\text{T}=\frac{465}{186}$ ($4185$ and $9$ is divided by $9)$
$\Rightarrow\text{T}=\frac{155}{162}$ ($465$ and $186$ is divided by $3)$
$\Rightarrow\text{T}=\frac{5}{2}$ ($155$ and $62$ is divided by $31)$
$\Rightarrow\text{T}=\frac{2+1}{2}$

If $a, b$ and $c$ are three sums of money such that $b$ is the simple interest on $a$ and $c$ is the simple interest on $b$ for the same time and same rate. Which of the following is correct?
- A
$abc = 1$
- B
$c^2 = ab$
- ✓
$b^2 = ac$
- D
$a^2 = bc$
AnswerCorrect option: C. $b^2 = ac$
It is given that,
Simple interest $(I_1) = b$
Sum $(P_1) = a$
Rate $(R_1) = R%$
Time $(T_1) = T years$
$\text{I}_1=\frac{\text{P}_1\ \times\ \text{R}_1\ \times\ \text{T}_1}{100}$
$\Rightarrow\text{b}=\frac{\text{a}\ \times\ \text{R}\ \times\ \text{T}}{100}$
$\Rightarrow\text{R}\times\text{T}=\frac{100\text{b}}{\text{a}}\ ...(\text{i})$
Also,
Simple interest $(I_2) = c$
Sum $(P_2) = b$
Rate $(R_2) = R%$
Time $(T_2) = T years$
Now,
$\text{I}_2=\frac{\text{P}_2\ \times\ \text{R}_2\ \times\ \text{T}_2}{100}$
$\Rightarrow\text{c}=\frac{\text{b}\ \times\ \text{R}\ \times\ \text{T}}{100}$
$\Rightarrow\text{R}\times\text{T}=\frac{100\text{c}}{\text{b}}\ ...(\text{ii})$
On equating $(i)$ and $(ii)$, we get
$\frac{100\text{b}}{\text{a}}=\frac{100\text{c}}{\text{b}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{b}^2=\text{ac}$
Hence, the correct option is $(d).$

The present ages of Renu and Ravi are in the ratio $5 : 6$. The sum of their present ages is $44$ in years. The difference of their ages (in years) is:
AnswerLet the present ages of Renu and Ravi be $5x$ and $6x.$
As, the sum of their present ages $= 44$ years
$\Rightarrow5\text{x}+6\text{x}=44$
$\Rightarrow11\text{x}=44$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{44}{11}$
$\therefore\text{x}=4$
Now, the present age of Renu $= 5 \times 4 = 20$ years and
the present ages of Ravi $= 6 \times 4 = 24$ years
So, the difference of their ages $= 24 - 20 = 4$ years.
Hence, the correct alternative is option $(a).$

A rope makes $140$ rounds of the circumference of a cylinder, the radius of whose base is $14\ cm$. How many times can it go round a cylinder with radius $20\ cm ?$
AnswerNo. of rounds of rope $= 140$
Radius of base of cylinder $= 14\ cm$
Radius of second cylinder of cylinder $= 20\ cm$
If radius is $14\ cm$, then rounds of rope are $= 140$
If radius is $1\ cm$, then round $= 140 \times 14$ (less radius more rounds)
and if radius is $20\ cm$, then rounds will
be $=\frac{140\times14}{20}=98$ (more radius less rounds)

If the cost price of $15$ pens is equal to the selling price of $20$ pens, then the loss percent is:
- ✓
$25\%$
- B
$20\%$
- C
$15\%$
- D
$10\%$
AnswerCorrect option: A. $25\%$
Let the cost price of one pen be Rs. $1.$
Then, $CP$ of $20$ pens $= Rs. 20$
and $SP$ of $20$ pens $= Rs. 15$ ($\because SP$ of $20$ pens $= CP$ of $15$ pens)
Therefore, $CP$ is more than $SP.$
So, Loss $= CP - SP$
$= Rs. 20 - Rs. 15$
$= Rs. 5$
Loss $\% =\frac{\text{Loss}}{\text{CP}}\times100$
$=\frac{5}{20}\times100$
$=25\%$
Hence, the correct option is $(a).$

- A
$Rs. 1100$
- B
$Rs. 1117$
- ✓
$Rs. 1107$
- D
$Rs. 1170 $
AnswerCorrect option: C. $Rs. 1107$
Let the $SP$ be $x.$
$CP = Rs. 950$
Gain $= 6\%$
Therfore, $SP$ is more than $CP.$
Now,
Gain $= 6\%$ of $CP$
$=\frac{6}{100}\times950$
$= 3 \times 19$
$= 57$
Thus, $SP = CP +$ gain
$= Rs. 950 + Rs. 57$
$= Rs. 1007$

At what rate percent per annum will $Rs. 1650$ amount to $Rs. 2046$ in $3$ years?
AnswerLet interest rate is $R$
Now Amount = Sum + Simple Intereset
$\Rightarrow2046=1650+\frac{(1650\times\text{R}\times3)}{100}$
$\Rightarrow2046-1650=\frac{(1650\times\text{R}\times3)}{100}$
$\Rightarrow396=\frac{(1650\times\text{R}\times3)}{100}$
$\Rightarrow1650\times\text{R}\times3=396\times100$
$\Rightarrow\text{R}=\frac{(396\times100)}{(1650\times3)}$
$\Rightarrow\text{R}=\frac{(132\times100)}{1650}$ ($396$ and $3$ is divided by $3)$

Solution:
a. It is given that,Sum $(P_1) = Rs. 1500$
Rate $(R_1) = 8%$
Time $(T_1) = 2 years$
$\text{I}_1=\frac{\text{P}_1\ \times\ \text{R}_1\ \times\ \text{T}_1}{100}$
$\text{I}_1=\frac{1500\ \times\ 8\ \times\ 2}{100}$

B. It is given that,Sum $(P_2) = Rs. 1000$
Rate $(R_2) = 11%$
Time $(T_2) = 2 years$
$\text{I}_2=\frac{\text{P}_2\ \times\ \text{R}_2\ \times\ \text{T}_2}{100}$
$\text{I}_2=\frac{1000\ \times\ 11\ \times\ 2}{100}$
$=220\ ...(\text{ii})$
C. It is given that,Sum $(P_3) = Rs. 2000$
Rate $(R_3) = 5%$
Time $(T_3) = 2 years$
$\text{I}_3=\frac{\text{P}_3\ \times\ \text{R}_3\ \times\ \text{T}_3}{100}$
$\text{I}_3=\frac{2000\ \times\ 5\ \times\ 2}{100}$
$=200\ ...(\text{iii})$
D. It is given that,Sum $(P_4) = Rs. 900$
Rate $(R_4) = 20%$
Time $(T_4) = 2 years$
$\text{I}_4=\frac{\text{P}_4\ \times\ \text{R}_4\ \times\ \text{T}_4}{100}$
$\text{I}_4=\frac{900\ \times\ 20\ \times\ 2}{100}$
$=360\ ...(\text{iv})$
From $(i), (ii), (iii)$ and $(iv),$
$Rs. 900$ at $20%$ per annum yields maximum interest for $2$ years.

- ✓
$9\%$
- D

AnswerLet the sum be $Rs x$
$\text{A}=\frac{49\text{x}}{40}$
We know:
$A = P + S.I.$
$S.I. = A - P$
$=\Big(\frac{\text{49x}}{40}-\text{x}\Big)$

Let the rate be R% per annum.
$\text{S.I.}=\frac{\text{P}\times\text{R}\times\text{T}}{100}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{9\text{x}}{40}=\frac{\text{x}\times\text{R}\times5}{100\times2}$
