  • A. Rs 17423
  • B. Rs 18973
  • C. Rs 19448
  • D. Rs 19880

Explanation: At 10% annually compounded half-yearly, the rate per half-year is 5%, and 2 years contain 4 periods.

Correct answer: Rs 19448
  • A. Rs 230
  • B. Rs 232
  • C. Rs 600
  • D. Rs 832

Explanation: A's simple interest is 6,000 Rs x 5% x 2 = 600 Rs. B's compound interest is 5,000 Rs x [(1.08)^2 - 1] = 832 Rs, so the difference is 832…

Correct answer: Rs 232
  • A. Rs 50
  • B. Rs 60
  • C. Rs 61
  • D. Rs 600

Explanation: The simple interest is 8,000 Rs x 5% x 3 = 1,200 Rs. The compound interest is 8,000 Rs x [(1.05)^3 - 1] = 1,261 Rs, so the difference is…

Correct answer: Rs 61
  • A. Rs 145
  • B. Rs 150
  • C. Rs 165
  • D. Rs 180
  • E. None of these

Explanation: The simple interest is 5,000 Rs x 10% x 3 = 1,500 Rs. The compound interest is 5,000 Rs x [(1.10)^3 - 1] = 1,655 Rs, so the difference is…

Correct answer: None of these
  • A. Rs.4400
  • B. Rs.4445
  • C. Rs.4460
  • D. Rs.4520

Correct answer: Rs.4460
  • A. Rs.1500
  • B. Rs.2000
  • C. Rs.2500
  • D. Rs.3000

Explanation: The one-year compound growth factor is Rs.3,149.28 ÷ Rs.2,916 = 1.08, so the annual rate is 8%.
