(C) Exercise
In questions 1 to 20, there are four options out of which one Is correct. Write the
correct answer.
Q.1) Suppose for the prlnclpal P, rate R% and time T, the simple Interest Is Sand compound
interest Is C. Consider the possibilities.
(I) C > S (II) C = S (Ill) C < S
Then
(a) only (I) Is correct.
(b) either (I) or (II) Is correct.
(c) either (II) or (111) Is correct.
(d) only (iii) is correct.
Sol.1) (a) Let the principal (P) = Rs.100 ~
Rate of Interest (R) = 100% and time period (T) = 2 yr. O

- x -10 $, 0-
Compound Interest, Cl= A - P = Rs.121 - u oo = Rs. 21
So, C>S
Hence, option (a) Is correct.

Q.2) Suppose a certain sum doubles In 2 years at r% rate of slmple Interest per annum or at
R% rate of Interest per annum compounded annually. We have
(a) r < R (b) R < r (c) R = r (d) can't be decided
Sol.2) (b) If the total amount received' after 2 yr Is same for both slmple Interest and
compound Interest on same__princi pal, then the rate of simple Interest Is greater than
the rate of compound intefest. i.e., R < r
Hence, option (b) Is corr.ect.
Q.3) The compound Interest on Rs.so,ooo at 4% per annum for 2 years compounded
annually is
(a) Rs.4,000 {bl Rs.4,080 (c) Rs.4,280 (d) Rs.4,050
Sol.3) (b) Given, principal (P) = Rs. 50000
Rate of Interest (R%) = 4% per annum
Time period (T) = 2 yr
We know that,

Hence, option (b) Is correct.
Q.4) If marked price of an article Is Rs.1,200 and the discount Is 12% then the selling price of
th~ :artlrlo le
 (a) Rs.1,056 (b) Rs.1,344 (c) Rs.1,212 (d) Rs.1,188
Sol.4) (a) Given, marked price of an article= Rs. 1200
Discount%= 12% Discount= Discount% on marked price= Ax 1200 = 12 x 12 = Rs. 144
Selling price = Marked price - Discount Selling price
= Rs. 11200- Rs.144 = Rs. 1056
Hence, option (a) Is correct.
Q.S) If 90% of x Is 315 km, then the value of x Is
(a) 325 km (b) 350 km (c) 350 m (d) 325 m
