√x=25
x=625

Q10. (239.98 % of 639.93)÷(7.94)² =?

Solution:

240/100×640×1/64=24

Directions (11-15): Study the bar graph to answer the following questions. The given bar graph shows the total investment (in Rs. thousand) and Percentage of Richa's investment out of total Richa’s and Diksha’s investment in 6 schemes (A, B, C, D, E and F)

Q11. Scheme A offers simple interest at a certain rate of interest (per cent per annum). If the difference between the interest earned by Richa and Diksha from scheme A after 4 yr is Rs. 4435.20, then what is the rate of interest (per cent per annum)?

17.5

16.5

Solution:

Amount invested by Richa in scheme A = 54% of 84000 = Rs. 45360
∴ Amount invested by Diksha in scheme A = 84000 – 45360 = Rs. 38640
Let the required rate be r% per annum. Then,
= (45360×r×4)/100-(38640×r×4)/100 = 4435.20
⇒6720×r×4 = 443520
⇒ r = 16.5%

Q12. What is the respective ratio between total amount invested by Richa in schemes C and E together and total amount invested by Diksha in the same scheme together?

31 : 44

31 : 42

27 : 44

35 : 48

29 : 38

Solution:

Required ratio = (Total amount invested by Richa in schemes C and E together): (Total amount invested by Diksha in schemes C and E together)
= (40% of 32000 + 42% of 64000): (60% of 32000 + 58% of 64000)
= 39680: 56320 = 31: 44

Q13. If scheme C offers compound interest (compounded annually) at 12% per annum, then what is the difference between interest earned by Richa and Diksha from scheme C after 2 years?

Rs. 1628.16

Rs. 1584.38

Rs. 1672.74

Rs. 1536.58

Rs. 1722.96

Solution:

Difference of amount invested by Richa and Diksha in
Scheme C = 60% of 32000 – 40% of 32000 = 20% of 32000 = Rs. 6400
∴ Required difference in their interest
=6400[(1+12/100)²-1]=6400×0.2544=Rs.1628.16

Q14. Diksha invested in scheme F for 4 yr. If scheme F offers simple interest at 7% per annum for the first two years and then compound interest at 10% per annum (compound annually) for the 3rd and 4th year, then what will be the interest earned by Diksha after 4 yr?

Rs. 13548.64

Rs. 13112.064

Rs. 12242.5

Rs. 12364

Rs. 11886

Solution:

Amount invested by Diksha in investment F
= (100 – 64) % of 96000 = 36% of 96000 = Rs. 34560
Then, total interest earned by Diksha after 4 years
= (34560×7×2)/100+(34560+SI of first 2 years)[(1+10/100)²-1] = 4838.40 + 8273.664 = Rs. 13112.064

Q15. Amount invested by Richa in scheme G is equal to the amount invested by her in scheme B. The rate of interest per annum of schemes G and B is same. The only difference is scheme G offers compound interest (compounded annually), whereas the scheme B offers simple interest. If the difference between the interest earned by Richa from both the schemes after 2 yr is Rs. 349.92, then what is the rate of interest?

13%

11%

Solution:

Amount invested by Richa in each of scheme G and B
= 60% of 72000 = 43200
Let the rate of interest be r% per annum.
Then, according to the question,
C.I -S.I. = PR²/100² (for two years)
349.92= 43200×r²/100²
or, r²=81
∴ r = 9%
