100 R + 120 R = 2200

R = 10%

A certain sum becomes Rs. 20720 in four years and 24080 in six years at simple interest. Find sum and rate of interest?

Answer: B

Let the interest for one year be x.

As amount = Principal + Interest, we have 

P + 4x = 20720 --- (1)  ; P + 6x = 24080 --- (2)

Solving the equations (1) and (2), we can get 

P = Rs. 14000 and x = Rs. 1680

Interest for one year on Rs. 14000 is Rs. 1680

So, R = (100 * 1680)/(14000 * 1) = 12% p.a.

Mr. Karan borrowed a certain amount at 6% per annum simple interest for 9 years. After 9 years, he returned Rs. 8110/-. Find out the amount that he borrowed.

Answer: D

Let us assume Mr. Karan borrowed amount is Rs. A. (the principal)
By formula of simple interest, S.I. = PRT / 100
Where P = The principal, R = Rate of interest as a %, T = Time in years
S.I. = (P * 6 * 9)/100 = 54 P/100
Amount = Principal + S.I.
8110 = P + (54P/100)
8110 = (100P + 54P)/100
8110 = 154P/100
P = (8110 * 100)/154 = Rs. 5266.233
