Answer: Option A. -> 1 1/4 years


Let sum = x. Then, S.I. = 0.125x = 1/8 x, R = 10%Time = (100 * x) / (x * 8 * 10) = 5/4 = 1 1/4 years.

 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 5 5/9 %


Let sum = x. Then, amount = 7x/6S.I. = 7x/6 - x = x/6; Time = 3 years.Rate = (100 * x) / (x * 6 * 3) = 5 5/9 %.


Question 1118. A lends Rs. 2500 to B and a certain to C at the same time at 7% p.a. simple interest. If after 4 years, A altogether receives Rs. 1120 as interest from B and C, then the sum lent to C is?

 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Rs. 1500


Let the sum lent to C be Rs. x. Then,(2500 * 7 * 4) / 100 + (x * 7 * 4) / 100 = 11207/25 x = (1120 - 700) => x = 1500


Question 1119. A lent Rs. 5000 to B for 2 years and Rs. 3000 to C for 4 years on simple interest at the same rate of interest and received Rs. 2200 in all from both of them as interest. The rate of interest per annum is?

Let the rate be R% p.a. Then,(5000 * R * 2)/100 + (3000 * R * 4)/100 = 2200100 R + 120 R = 2200R = 10%


Question 1120. A person invests money in three different schemes for 6 years, 10 years and 12 years at 10 %, 12 %, and 15 %. Simple interest respectively. At the completion of each scheme, he gets the same interest. The ratio of his investments is
  1.    2: 3: 4
  2.    3: 4: 2
  3.    3: 4: 6
  4.    6: 3: 2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 6: 3: 2


Let the required ratio be x: 1: y. 
Then S.I on Rs x for 6 years at 10% p.a = S.I on re.1 10 years at 12 %p.a 
X × 10/100 × 6 = 1 × 12/100 × 10 
=> X = 120/60 =2 
S.I on Re.1 for 10 years at 12 % p.a = S. I on Rs. Y for 12 years at 15 % p.a 
Therefore, (1 x 12/100 x 10) = (y x 15/100 x 12) 
=> y = 120/180 = 2/3 
Required ratio = 2 : 1 = 2/3 = 6 : 3 : 2
