    CI for 2 years = Rs. 786
    SI for 2 years = Rs. 750
    36/360 * 100 = 10%
    P for first year = 3600
    P*x*x/100 = 1296
    x = 6%

  2. Hari took an educational loan from a nationalized bank for his 2 years course of MBA. He took the loan of Rs.5 lakh such that he would be charged at 7% p.a. at CI during his course and at 9% CI after the completion of the course.

    C.I. compounded half yearly = (4641/10000)x
    C.I. compounded annually = (11/25)x
    (4641/10000)x – (11/25)x = 723
    x = 30000

  6. A sum of Rs.7140 is to be divided between Anita and Bala who are respectively 18 and 19 yr old, in such a way that if their shares will be invested at 4% per annum at compound interest, they will receive equal amounts on attaining the age of 21 year. The present share of Anita is

    ⇒ X(56/36) = 8400
    X = 5400

  9. During the first year the population of a village is increased by 5% and the second year it is diminished by 5%. At the end of the second year its population was 31500. What was the population at the beginning of the first year?

    C. 8800
    D. 8520
    E. None of these
    Answer – A. 8640
    Explanation :
    Let rate = R% and time = n year
    Then, 10368 =7200(1+R/100)n
    ⇒ (1+R/100)n = 10368/7200 = 1.44
    ∴ (1 + R/100)n/2 = √1.44 = 1.2
    ∴ Required amount for n/2 yr
    = 7200(1+ R/100)n/2
    = 7200 x 1.2 = Rs. 8640
