Let Rs.x be the amount that the elder daughter got at the

time of the will. Therefore, the younger daughter got

(5,00,000 – x).

The elder daughter’s money earns interest for (21 – 15) =

6 years @ 10% p.a simple interest

The younger daughter’s money earns interest for (21 –

10) = 11 years @ 10% p.a simple interest.

As the sum of money that each of the daughters get when

they are 21 is the same,

x + (6*10*x/100)= (5,00,000 – x) +(11*10*[5,00,000-

x]/100)

100x+60x = (5,00,000-x)+(55,000,000-110x)

Principal (P) = $ 10000

Rate of Interest (R) = 10%

Time (T) = 2 Years

Therefore, interest = I = P×R×T100

= 10000×10×2100

= $ 2000.

Therefore, amount A = P + I = $ 10000 + $ 2000 = $

12000

Therefore David will repay $ 12,000 to Jason after 2

years.

For James:

Principal (P) = $ 10000

Rate of Interest (R) = 10%

Time (n) = 2 Years

A = $ 10000 × (1+10/100)2(1+10/100)2

= $ 10000 × (110/100)2(110/100)2

= $ 10000 × (11/10)2(11/10)2

= $ 100 × 121

= $ 12100

Therefore, James will repay $ 12,100.

Now, $ 12100 > $ 12000, so, James will pay more. He

will pay $ 12100 - $ 12000, i.e., $ 100 more than David.

SI(y) = (32000 * 6)/100 = 1920

Total Interest = 4000, Interest on the remaining amount =

4000 – 550 – 1920 = 1530

Let the principle be P.

Interest on this amount when compounded annually at

Interest on this amount when compounded half yearly =

P [(1.10)4 − 1]

The difference between the two is Rs. 482

∴ P [(1.10)4 − 1] – P [(1.20)2 −1] = 482

∴ P [1.4641 – 1.44] = 482

∴ P = Rs. 20,000

Lets first calculate the total rate % that Aditya will have

after 3 years:

As per the question Aditya invested at rate of 12% pa

simple interst

So, for 3 years tenure he will get = 12 × 3 = 36%

And the amount that Bhushan invested at rate of 10% pa

compound interest

By net% effect formula, we can calculate the total

perecntage for 3 years tenure = 33.1% (sub details)

So, the difference between SI and CI = 36% – 33.1% =

2.9% (SI is more)

Here Aditya will get, 2.9% of 10000 = 290

So Aditya will have Rs. 290 more than Bhushan.

Sub-details:-

Net% effect = x + y = xy

% 100

For the first 2 years: Here, x = y = 10%

= 10 + 10 = 10 × 10

= 21% 100

And for the next year: Here x = 21% and y = 10%

= 21 + 10 = 21 × 10

= 33.1% 100

Total interest = x*40/100 + (72000-x)*44/100=30480

10x+72000*11-11x=30480*25

X=30000

Required difference = 42000-30000=12000

43. A

Let us take one part as x and another part as 80000-x

Given,

(44/100*x+(80000-x)*30/100)-(x*32.25/100+(80000-

x)*40/100)=2875

14x+7.75x-940000=-287500

21.75x=652500

X=30000

Required difference = (80000-30000)-30000=20000

(3000*2x/100+2400*20/100)-

(3000*20/100+2400*2x/100)=120

(60x+480)-(600+48x)=120

12x=240=>x=20%

45. A

Given,

x*20/100*2+860=x((1+20/100)2-1)

44/100*x-40/100*x=860

4x/100=860=>x=21500

46. D

Given,

(30000-x)*30/100+x*44/100=10750

900000-30x+44x=1075000

14x=175000=>x=12500

Required sum = 30000-12500=17500

47. E

Let us take Mathi’s sum be y

2275=Y ((1+20/100)3-1)

2275*125/91=Y

=>Y=3125

Akhilan’s investment and interest are 3750 and 2250

3750*x*2/100=2250

=>x=30%

48. D

Let us take sum be y

Given,

130/100*y=19500

=>y=15000

S.I = 15000*(15/100)*2 =4500

C.I = 4500+2100 =6600

Total amount= 15000+6600 = 21600

15000(1+x/100)2=21600

(1+x/100)2=(6/5)2

1+x/100=6/5x/100=1/5=>x=20%

49.E

Difference = P(R)²/100²

90 = P(12)²/(100)²

90 x 100²/12² = P

P = Rs. 6250

Now, calculating the compound interest on Rs. 6250 will

be,

A = 6250(1 + 12/100)³

A = 6250(112/100)³ => 6250(1.12)³ => Rs. 8780.80

So, the compounded amount after three years will be Rs.

8780.80

50. A

For 1st year S.I =C.I.

Thus, Rs.16 is the S.I. on S.I. for 1 year, which at 8% is

thus Rs.200

i.e S.I on the principal for 1 year is Rs.200

Principle = Rs.100*2008*1 = Rs.2500

Amount for 2 years, compounded half-yearly

Rs.2500*1+41004=Rs.2924.4

C.I = Rs.424.64

Also, S.I=Rs.2500*8*2100=Rs.400

Hence, [(C.I) - (S.I)] = Rs. (424.64 - 400) = Rs.24.64
