Data Sufficiency: I P X R X N/100, Where P Is The Principal Amount, R Is The Rate of Interest
Data Sufficiency: I P X R X N/100, Where P Is The Principal Amount, R Is The Rate of Interest
In compound interest and simple interest you just have to calculate the rate
of interest based on the number of years given to you. The rate of interest
and the total amount has to be calculated on the based of the formulas.
Before solving the questions, here are the directions for the questions:
So, as per the data are given to us in this question, we need to find the total
worth of Ram’s assets and for that two statements are given to us. We will
start solving the question using statements alone and if we are not able to
find the answer then we will solve the question using both the statements.
Using statement I, we can see that the compound interest i.e. 10% is given
to us. Than 4% interest on this compound interest is also given to us. And
this interest will be a total of Rs. 1500. But to calculate the total worth we
need to have a duration of the compound interest as well as total amount
or the principal amount given to us. This data cannot be found in
statement I. Thus, a statement I is insufficient to determine the answer.
