## Arithmetic: Simple Interest Test -3

Congratulations - you have completed Arithmetic: Simple Interest Test -3.You scored %%SCORE%% out of %%TOTAL%%.You correct answer percentage: %%PERCENTAGE%% .Your performance has been rated as %%RATING%%
 Question 1
The simple interest accrued on an amount of Rs.2, 500 at the end of six years is Rs.1, 875. What would be the simple interest accrued on an amount of Rs.6, 875 at the same rate and same period?
 A Rs.4.556.5 B Rs.5.025.25 C Rs.4.895.25 D none
Question 1 Explanation:
Simple Interest for 6 years is Rs. 1875
Simple Interest for 1 year is : Rs. 1875/6.
The rate of interest is = $\frac{1875\times 100}{6\times 2000}=\frac{125}{8}%~$
The  SI  accrued on Rs. 6,875 @ 125/8 % for 6 years is = Rs. 6445 (approx)
 Question 2
A sum of money at simple interest amounts to Rs.14,160 in 3 years. If the rate of interest is increased by 25%, the same sum amounts to Rs.14,700 in the same time. The rate of interest is
 A 5% B 5$\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}$% C 6% D 7%
Question 2 Explanation:
Let the principal be Rs. x and rate = r %.
Amount in 3 years @ r% is $\displaystyle x(1+\frac{3r}{100})$ = Rs. 14160
Amount in 3 years @ (25+r)% is x$\displaystyle \frac{3\left( r+25 \right)}{100}$
=$\displaystyle \frac{\text{x}\left( 1+\frac{3\left( r+25 \right)}{100} \right)}{\text{x}\left( 1+\frac{3\left( r \right)}{100} \right)}=\frac{14700}{14160}$
 Question 3
Simple interest on a certain sum at a certain annual rate of interest is 16% of the sum. If the numbers representing rate percent and time in years be equal, then the rate of interest is
 A 4% B 6% C 4.5% D 6.5%
Question 3 Explanation:
Let the total sum = y
S.I. of the sum = 16/100 of y
we know that
Rate =Time =x
If x is the rate of interest and x years be the time .
then x2=16. x= 4.
Correct option is (a)
 Question 4
A sum of Rs.5000/- amounts to Rs.6, 050/- in two years. What is the rate of interest?
 A 15% p.a. B 13% p.a. C 11% p.a. D none
Question 4 Explanation:
S.I. in 2 years is Rs. 1050.
S.I. in 1 year is Rs. 525.
Rate of interest is$\displaystyle \frac{525} {5000}X100=\frac{105}{10}=10.5~%~$
 Question 5
Mr. A lends 40% of sum at 15% p.a. 50%of rest sum at 10%p.a. and the rest at 18% p.a. rate of interest. What would be the rate of interest if the interest is calculated on the whole sum?
 A 13.4% p.a. B 14.33% p.a. C 14.4% p.a D 13.33% p.a.
Question 5 Explanation:
Let the total number is Rs. 100
He lends Rs. 40 @ 15 %
Rs. 30 @ 10% and
Rs. 30 @ 18%.
Or we can say that Interest earned by each at end of 1 year By First Year
$\displaystyle \Rightarrow \frac{15}{100}\times \frac{40x}{100}=\frac{60}{1000}x$
By second Year
$\displaystyle \,\Rightarrow \frac{10}{100}\times \frac{30x}{100}=\frac{30}{1000}x$
By Third Year
$\displaystyle \,\Rightarrow \frac{18}{100}\times \frac{30x}{100}=\frac{54}{1000}x$
Total Interest = $\displaystyle =\frac{144}{1000}x$
=$\displaystyle =\frac{144}{1000}x$
Therefore Rate % = $\displaystyle \frac{\frac{144x}{1000}}{x}\times 100$
$\displaystyle =14.4%$
