Solution and Detailed Explanation
1. Answer: A) ⇒ 7200 + 21000 = 28200
Total money with Mr. Bhargav = Rs.225000 ∴ Total amount he has after 4 years = Principal + Interest
It is divided among A, B and C in 4 : 5 : 6 ⇒ 75000 + 28200 = 103200
⇒ Amount with B = 5/15 × 225000 He invests this total amount in scheme 3 for 1 year.
⇒ Rs. 75000 Amount he gets after 1 year = P + (P × R × T) ÷ 100
B invest 30% of his money in scheme 1 and remaining in ⇒ 103200 + (103200 × 7 × 1) ÷ 100
scheme 2 for 4 years.
⇒ 110424
Interest he gets after 4 years = (P × R × T) ÷ 100
⇒ {(30/100 × 75000) × 8 × 4} ÷ 100 + {(70 / 100 ×

75000) × 10 × 4) ÷ 100 2. Answer: B)
Total money with Mr. Bhargav = Rs. 225000

Page 12 of 26
Exam
It is divided among A, B and C in 4 : 5 : 6
⇒ Amount with A = 4/15 × 225000 4. Answer: C)
⇒ Rs. 60000 Total money with Mr. Bhargav = Rs. 225000
A invested 50% of his money in scheme 2. It is divided among A, B and C in 4 : 5 : 6
Also, A invest half of the remaining money, i.e., 25% of ⇒ Amount with A = 4/15 × 225000
his money in scheme 1 and 25% in scheme 3 for 4 years
⇒ Rs. 60000
∴ Total simple interest he earns = (P × R × T) ÷ 100
∵ The rate of interest is highest in scheme 2, so to get
⇒ (30000 × 10 × 4) ÷ 100 + (15000 × 8 × 4) ÷ 100 + maximum return, A must invest in scheme 2 for the
(15000 × 7 × 4) ÷ 100 maximum period of time.
⇒ 12000 + 4800 + 4200 = 21000 ∴ A invests in scheme 2 for 4 years.
∴ The interest he earns at the end of 4 years is Rs. 21000. Similarly, he invests in scheme 1 for the next 2 years and
then in scheme 3 for 1 year.
∴ Interest A gets after 4 years = (P × R × T) ÷ 100

Total money with Mr. Bhargav = Rs.225000

5. Answer: D)
⇒ Amount with C = 6/15 × 225000
Total money with Mr. Bhargav = Rs. 225000
⇒ Rs. 90000
C invest 40% of his money in scheme 1 and remaining in
scheme 3. ⇒ Amount with B = 5/15 × 225000 = Rs. 75000
Interest he earns in 4 years = (P × R × T) ÷ 100 ⇒ Amount with C = 6/15 × 225000 = Rs. 90000
⇒ {(40/100 × 90000) × 8 × 4} ÷ 100 + {(60 / 100 × Amount B gets after 2 years = P + (P × R × T) ÷ 100
90000) × 7 × 4) ÷ 100
⇒ 75000 + (75000 × 8 × 2) ÷ 100
⇒ 11520 + 15120 = 26640
⇒ Rs. 87000
Total amount he gets after 4 years = principal amount +
interest Amount C gets after 2 years = P + (P × R × T) ÷ 100
⇒ 90000 + 26640 = 116640 ⇒ 90000 + (90000 × 8 × 2) ÷ 100

8. Answer: C)
Given,
6. Answer: A)
Total money a person has = 72000
Given,
Amount of money lent on compound interest to Ram =
Total money a person has = 72000 72000 × 2/18 = 8000
Amount of money lent on compound interest to Ram = Amount of money lent on compound interest to Raj =
72000 × 2/18 = 8000 72000 × 3/18 = 12000
Rate of interest = 20/2 = 10% Total amount of money gets = 8000(1 + 20/100) +
12000(1 + 15/100)3
Time period = 2 years
= 9600 + 18250.5 = Rs. 27850.5
Required Compound interest = 8000(1 + 10/100)2 – 8000
= Rs. 1680
9. Answer: C)
Let P = Principal, R = rate of interest and N = time

7. Answer: D)
Simple Interest = PNR/100
Amount of money lent to Ram = 72000 × 2/18 = 8000
Amount of money lent to Raj = 72000 × 3/18 = 12000
Amount of money given to Sam = 72000 × 5/18 = 20000
Amount of money given to Tom = 72000 × 8/18 = 32000
Total simple interest when amount given to Sam and
Tom = (20000 × 36 × 8/100) + (32000 × 25 × 6/100) = Simple Interest earned from Ram = 8000 × 20 × 1/100 =
105600 1600
Then, Simple Interest earned from Raj = 12000 × 15 × 3/100 =

5400
Total money given to Sam and Tom = 20000 + 32000 =
52000
Page 14 of 26
Exam
Simple Interest earned from Sam = 20000 × 36 × 8/100 =

57600
Simple Interest earned from Tom = 32000 × 25 × 6/100

= 48000
From above, Ram will return less amount of simple

interest.
10. Answer: A)

∴ Ratio = 8400 : 5610 = 280 : 187

12. Answer: C)
Simple Interest earned from Sam = 20000 × 36 × 8/100 =
57600 Total principal = Rs. 24000
Simple Interest earned from Tom = 32000 × 25 × 6/100 Let the principal deposited in scheme 4 = Rs. x
= 48000
Then the principal for scheme 1 = (1 + 2/3)x = 5x/3
Then,
∴ x + 5x/3 = 24000
Required difference = 57600 – 48000 = Rs. 9600
⇒ 8x/3 = 24000
11. Answer: C)
⇒ x = 9000
∴ Principal deposited in scheme 1 and 4 are Rs. 15000

and Rs. 9000 respectively
Compound interest obtained from scheme 1 = [15000 ×

(1 + 10/100)3] - 15000 = Rs. 4965
Compound interest obtained from scheme 4 = [9000 × (1

+ 20/100)3] - 9000 = Rs. 6552
∴ Required difference = 6552 - 4965 = Rs. 1587

13. Answer: B)
A = Compound interest from scheme 3 = [30000 × (1 +

15/100)2] - 30000 = Rs. 9675
B = Simple interest from scheme 2 = 30000 × 7.5 ×

4/100 = Rs. 9000
∴ Percentage by which A is more than B = (9675 –

9000)/9000 × 100 = 7.5%
14. Answer: A)
⇒ 6000 + 1324 = Rs. 7324
∴ Required difference = 11224 - 7324 = Rs. 3900
16. Answer: E)
Since R took the loan at simple interest;
Amount of interest paid by R = [80000 × 5 × 5]/100 =

Rs. 20000
Since T took the loan at compound interest;
Amount of interest paid by T = 40000 × [1 + 25/100]2 -

40000 = 62500 - 40000 = Rs. 22500
∴ Difference = Rs. 2500

⇒ 6750 + 4368 = Rs. 11118
17. Answer: C)
15. Answer: D)
Principal = Rs. 60000, r = 12.5%;
SI for 1st year = [60000 × 12.5 × 1]/100 = Rs. 7500
∴ Amount after 1st year = 60000 + 7500 = Rs. 67500
Since Rs. 17500 is paid by P at the end of 1st year;

Page 16 of 26
Exam
∴ Principal for 2nd year = 67500 - 17500 = Rs. 50000 ⇒ 3310x/1331 = 50000
SI for 2nd year = [50000 × 12.5 × 1]/100 = Rs. 6250 ⇒ x = 20105.74 = 20106
∴ Amount after 2nd year = 50000 + 6250 = Rs. 56250 ∴ Value of each instalment = Rs. 20106
Since Rs. 16250 is paid by P at the end of 2nd year;
∴ Principal for 3rd year = 56250 - 16250 = Rs. 40000 19. Answer: D)
SI for 3rd year = [40000 × 12.5 × 1]/100 = Rs. 5000 Principal = Rs. 100000, r = 20%, time = 3 years;
∴ Amount after 3rd year = 40000 + 5000 = Rs. 45000 CI = 100000 × [1 + 20/100]3 - 100000 = Rs. 72800
Since Rs. 15000 is paid by P at the end of 3rd year; SI = [100000 × 20 × 3]/100 = Rs. 60000
∴ Principal for 4th year = 45000 - 15000 = Rs. 30000 ∴ CI - SI = 72800 - 60000 = Rs. 12800
SI for 4th year = [30000 × 12.5 × 1]/100 = Rs. 3750
∴ Amount to be paid after 4th year = 30000 + 3750 = Rs. 20. Answer: C)
33750
Simple interest paid by P = [60000 × 12.5 × 4]/100 = Rs.
30000
18. Answer: B) Simple interest paid by Q = [50000 × 10 × 3]/100 = Rs.

15000
Principal = Rs. 50000, time = 3 years, r = 10%;
Simple interest paid by R = [80000 × 5 × 5]/100 = Rs.
Suppose the principal for each year is P1, P2 and P3 and 20000
the value of each instalment is Rs. x;
Simple interest paid by S = [100000 × 20 × 3]/100 = Rs.
∴ x = P1 × [1 + 10/100] 60000
⇒ P1 = 10x/11 Simple interest paid by T = [40000 × 25 × 2]/100 = Rs.
x = P2 × [1 + 10/100]2 20000
⇒ P2 = 100x/121 ∴ R & Twill pay the equal amount of interest on the sum
borrowed.
x = P3 × [1 + 10/100]3
⇒ P3 = 1000x/1331
21. Answer: A)
Since P1 + P2 + P3 = 50000
Ratio of amount invested by Anand in three schemes is 4
⇒ 10x/11 + 100x/121 + 1000x/1331 = 50000 :5:6
Page 17 of 26
Exam
Since Anand invested total Rs. 30000 in three schemes ⇒ 0.728P1 = 5824
⇒ Amount invested in 3 schemes: Rs. 8000, Rs. 10000 ⇒ P1 = 8000

and Rs. 12000 respectively
⇒ Rs. 8000 is invested in first scheme.
First scheme provides 20% interest compounded
annually Since the ratio of amount invested in scheme 1 and 3 is 2
:3
⇒ Interest from 1st scheme in 1 year = 8000[1 + 20/100]
– 8000 = Rs. 1600 ⇒ Amount invested in third scheme = Rs. 12000
Second scheme provides 40% interest compounded ⇒ Amount invested in second scheme = 30000 – 12000
quarterly – 8000 = Rs. 10000
⇒ Interest from 2nd scheme in 1 year = 10000[1 + Second scheme provides 40% interest compounded
10/100]4 – 10000 = Rs. 4641 quarterly in 1 year
Third scheme provides 30% simple interest per annum ∴ Interest from 2nd scheme = 10000[1 + 10/100]4 –
10000
⇒ Interest from 3rd scheme in 1 year = 12000[30/100] –
12000 = Rs. 3600 ⇒ 10000 × 1.4641 – 10000 = Rs. 4641
⇒ Total Interest = 1600 + 4641 + 3600 = Rs. 9841
Since total interest obtained by Anand from all three 23. Answer: B)
schemes earlier is Rs. 17665 Suppose P1, P2 and P3 are the sum invested in 3 schemes
∴ Amount of loss = 17665 – 9841 = Rs. 7824 Since interest obtained from first scheme is Rs. 5824
First scheme provides 20% interest compounded

22. Answer: D) annually in 3 years
Suppose P1, P2 and P3 are the sum invested in 3 schemes ⇒ P1[1 + 20/100]3 – P1 = 5824
Since interest obtained from first scheme is Rs. 5824 ⇒ P1[1.2]3 – P1 = 5824
First scheme provides 20% interest compounded ⇒ 1.728P1 – P1 = 5824

annually in 3 years ⇒ 0.728P1 = 5824
⇒ P1[1 + 20/100] – P1 = 5824
3
⇒ P1 = 8000
⇒ P1[1.2]3 – P1 = 5824 Since P1 + P2 + P3 = 30000
⇒ 1.728P1 – P1 = 5824 ⇒ P2 + P3 = 30000 – 8000 = Rs. 22000

= 7500 × 0.0201 = Rs. 150.75
Interest rate for simple interest = 1.25%
Simple interest = (Principal × Rate × Time)/100 = (7500

∴ Required percentage = (150.75/281.25) × 100 = 53.6%
38. Answer: C)
Simple interest = (Principal × Rate × Time)/100 =

(90000 × 2.75 × 4)/100 = Rs. 9900
Interest rate for compound interest = 1%
Compound interest = Principal × [(1 + rate/100)Time – 1]

= 9000 × [(1 + 1/100)2 – 1]
36. Answer: D)
= 9000 × 0.0201 = Rs. 180.9
∴ Total interest = 9900 + 180 = Rs. 10080.9
Simple interest = (Principal × Rate × Time)/100 =
(80000 × 2.75 × 2)/100 = Rs. 4400
Interest rate for compound interest = 3% 39. Answer: C)

Compound interest = Principal × [(1 + rate/100)Time – 1] (Principal = P)
= 80000 × [(1 + 3/100)2 – 1]
Initial rate for compound interest = 1%
= 80000 × 0.0609 = Rs. 4872
∴ Required difference = 4872 – 4400 = Rs. 472 = P × [(1 + 1/100)3 – 1] = 0.0303 P
Increased rate = (100 + 40)% of 1 = 1.4%

37. Answer: C) Compound interest = Principal × [(1 + rate/100)Time – 1]
= P × [(1 + 1.4/100)3 – 1] = 0.0426P
Interest rate for compound interest = 1%
Increase in compound interest = 0.0426 P – 0.0303 P =

As given in chart, total investment by Jigyasa and Ravi

in M = Rs.84000
40. Answer: D)
Percentage of Jigyasa in M = 52%
Case 1:
∴ Amount invested in scheme M by Jigyasa = 52% of
Interest rate = 5% 84000
Total interest = Principal × [(1 + rate/100)Time – 1] = = (52/100) × 84000 = Rs. 43680
120000 × [(1 + 5/100)2 – 1] = Rs. 12300
So, amount invested in scheme M by Ravi = Rs. (84000
Case 2: – 43680) = Rs. 40320
Interest rate = 4.5% As we know that, simple interest on any amount p for a
Total interest = (Principal × Rate × Time)/100 = (120000 time t with rate r is (prt/100)
× 4.5 × 2)/100 = Rs. 10800 Thus, difference between simple interest on amount
Case 3: invested by Jigyasa (=p1) and Ravi(=p2) at a rate r for
time 8 years is given by
Interest rate = 3%
Total interest = 2 × 60000 × [(1 + 3/100)2 – 1] = Rs.

7308
Case 4:
Interest rate = 2.75%
Total interest = (2 × 60000 × 2.75 × 2)/100 = Rs. 6600
Case 5:
Interest rate on Rs. 100000 = 4.5% 42. Answer: C)
Interest rate on Rs. 20000 = 2.75% Amount invested by Jigyasa in schemes O = 40% of
26000
Total interest = (100000 × 4.5 × 2)/100 + (20000 × 2.75
× 2)/100 = 9000 + 1100 = Rs. 10100 = (40/100) × 26000 = Rs. 10400
∴ Taking two loans of Rs. 60000 each on simple interest Amount invested by Jigyasa in schemes Q = 41% of
will be most beneficial 62000
= (41/100) × 62000 = Rs. 25420

Page 22 of 26

Total amount invested by Jigyasa in schemes O and Q

together = Rs(10400 + 25420) = Rs. 35820
Similarly, Amount invested by Ravi in schemes O =

26000 – 10400 = Rs. 15600
Amount invested by Ravi in schemes Q = 62000 – 25420

= Rs. 36580
total amount invested by Ravi in schemes O and Q

together = Rs(15600 + 36580) = Rs. 52180
Respective ratio between total amount invested by

Jigyasa in schemes O and Q together and total amount
invested by Ravi in the same scheme together = 35820 : Now, total interest earned by Ravi = Rs(4284 + 7325.64)

And CI = P [(1 + r/100)t – 1]
time t with rate r = (prt/100)
Amount invested in scheme R by Ravi = (100 – 64)% of
And CI = P [(1 + r/100)t – 1]
85000
Amount invested by Jigyasa in scheme S = amount
= 36% of 85000
invested by him in scheme N = 60% of 66000
= (36/100) × 85000
= (60/100) × 66000 = Rs. 39600
= Rs30600
As given in the question, the rate of interest per annum
Now, according to the question, for the first two years, of schemes S and N are same. The only difference is
scheme R offers simple interest at 7% per annum, scheme S offers compound interest (compounded
therefore annually), whereas the scheme N offers simple interest.
Interest thus earned, SI = (30600 × 7 × 2)/100 = Rs.4284 ∴ InterestS – InterestN = Rs. 349.92

From statement l and ll,
Capital is 2000 and amount he gets after investing for 3

years is 3850,
45. Answer: A)
Total interest as percentage = (3850-2000/2000) × 100 =
We know that, compound interest CI on some amount p 92.5%,
at a rate r compounded annually for n years is
By applying successive methodology i.e. X + Y + (X ×
CI = P [(1 + r/100)t – 1] Y/100),
Amount invested by Jigyasa in schemes O = 40% of Let the interest rate for 2nd year be ‘m’, then for year
26000 2017 and 2018 total interest will be,
= (40/100) × 26000 = Rs. 10400 ⇒ 40 + m + 40m/100,
Thus, amount invested by Ravi in schemes O = 26000 – And now successive increase for first two years
10400 = Rs. 15600 (cumulatively) and 3rd year will be 92.5%,
Now, CI for Ravi – CI for Jigyasa ⇒ (40 + m + 40m/ 100) + 25 + (40 + m + 40m/ 100) ×
25/ 100 = 92.5
⇒ m = 10% (rate of 2nd year)
Now overall rate % from 2017 to 2018 will be,
⇒ 40 + 10 + (40 × 10)/ 100 = 54%,
Total amount after 2018 will be 154% of 2000 = 3080.

Page 24 of 26

From statement I and lll, Hence, option 3 is correct.
Rate % will be 25% of 40 = 10%,
Now overall rate % from 2017 to 2018 will be, 48. Answer: E)
⇒ 40 + 10 + (40 × 10)/ 100 = 54%, For Quantity 1-
Total amount after 2018 will be 154% of 2000 = 3080. Total interest earned by scheme l in year 2017 + 2018 +
2019
Hence, option 3 is correct.
⇒ 20% + 30% + 30% = 80%
Total Amount we get 180% of 1000 = 1800,

47. Answer: C)
And half of the total amount will be 900.
For scheme l,
For Quantity 2-
For two successive years increment,
Total Interest = 3000 × (1 + 30/100) – 3000 = 900.
⇒ X + Y + (XY/ 100),
Hence, option 5 is correct.
⇒ 30 + 20 + 30 × 20/100 = 56%,
Overall 56% increase in these two years.

49. Answer: D)
For scheme lll,
Correct option is option 4 because we cannot find
For the year 2018 two successive increments occur interest ratio without principal value.

⇒ 10 + 10 + 10 × 10/100 = 21% overall increment in

2018, 50. Answer: E)
And now for year 2017 and 2018 simultaneously, Let principles be 5x, 3x and 4x,
⇒ 25 + 21 + (25 × 21)/ 100 = 51.25% Interest = 5x × 20/100 = 1x,
Sunil’s principle = 1.2 × Anil’s principle Amount of 1st principle is 6x,
Sunil : Anil will be 6 : 5 (ratio of investments), For 2nd principle,
Now ratio of interests will be, Interest = 3x × 25/100 = 0.75x,
⇒ 6 × 51.25% : 5 × 56%, Amount = 3.75x,
⇒ 123 : 112 For 3rd principle,

Page 25 of 26

Interest = 4x × 40/100 = 1.6x, ⇒ 0.75x/ 15.35x = 15/307
Amount = 5.6x, Hence correct option is ‘5’.
Share of interest from scheme lll is 0.75x and total is

Solution and Detailed Explanation

1. Answer: A) ⇒ 7200 + 21000 = 28200

It is divided among A, B and C in 4 : 5 : 6 ⇒ 75000 + 28200 = 103200

⇒ Rs. 75000 Amount he gets after 1 year = P + (P × R × T) ÷ 100

⇒ {(30/100 × 75000) × 8 × 4} ÷ 100 + {(70 / 100 ×

Total money with Mr. Bhargav = Rs. 225000

It is divided among A, B and C in 4 : 5 : 6

⇒ Amount with A = 4/15 × 225000 4. Answer: C)

⇒ Rs. 60000 Total money with Mr. Bhargav = Rs. 225000

A invested 50% of his money in scheme 2. It is divided among A, B and C in 4 : 5 : 6

⇒ 12000 + 4800 + 4200 = 21000 ∴ A invests in scheme 2 for 4 years.

∴ Interest A gets after 4 years = (P × R × T) ÷ 100

It is divided among A, B and C in 4 : 5 : 6

⇒ 90000 + 26640 = 116640 ⇒ 90000 + (90000 × 8 × 2) ÷ 100

⇒ Rs. 104400 Simple Interest = 52000 × 20 × 4/100 = 41600

Let P = Principal, R = rate of interest and N = time

Then, Simple Interest earned from Raj = 12000 × 15 × 3/100 =

Simple Interest earned from Sam = 20000 × 36 × 8/100 =

Simple Interest earned from Tom = 32000 × 25 × 6/100

From above, Ram will return less amount of simple

Let P = Principal, R = rate of interest and N = time

Simple Interest = PNR/100

Amount of money given to Tom = 72000 × 8/18 = 32000

∴ Principal deposited in scheme 1 and 4 are Rs. 15000

Compound interest obtained from scheme 1 = [15000 ×

Compound interest obtained from scheme 4 = [9000 × (1

∴ Required difference = 6552 - 4965 = Rs. 1587

A = Compound interest from scheme 3 = [30000 × (1 +

B = Simple interest from scheme 2 = 30000 × 7.5 ×

∴ Percentage by which A is more than B = (9675 –

⇒ 6000 + 1324 = Rs. 7324

∴ Required difference = 11224 - 7324 = Rs. 3900
