Question : What is the amount (in INR) of debt that will be discharged in 6 equal instalments of INR 800 each, if the debt is due in 6 years at 5% per annum?

Option 1: 6,600

Option 2: 7,500

Option 3: 8,000

Option 4: 5,400

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 5,400


Solution : Given:
Installment = INR $800$
Rate, $r$ = $5$%
Time, $t$ = $6$ years
Let the debt be $x$.
Installment $=\frac{\text{Debt×100}}{100×t+\frac{r×t(t-1)}{2}}$
⇒ $800=\frac{100x}{100×6+\frac{5×6(6-1)}{2}}$
⇒ $800=\frac{100x}{675}$
$\therefore x = 5400 $
Hence, the correct answer is 5,400.

Question : In how many years will Rs. 40000 amounts to Rs. 46656 at the rate of 8% compound interest per annum.

Option 1: 5

Option 2: 2

Option 3: 4

Option 4: 3

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 2


Solution : Given that Total amount = Rs. 46656, Principal = Rs. 40000, and Rate = 8%
Let time be $n$ years.
We know that, $\text{Total amount}=\text{Principal}×(1+\frac{\text{Rate}}{100})^{\text{Time}}$
$⇒46656 = 40000 \left(1 + \frac{8}{100}\right)^n$
$ ⇒\frac{46656}{40000}=\left(1 + \frac{8}{100}\right)^n$
$ ⇒\frac{11664}{10000}=\left( \frac{108}{100}\right)^n$
$⇒ (\frac{108}{100})^2=\left( \frac{108}{100}\right)^n$
$\therefore n=2$
Hence, the
