  5. None of these

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
Given Principle amount $= Rs . 6000$
And$,$
Rate of interest $= r = 5\% $ compounded annually

So$,$
Interest after $1 year = 6000 × \dfrac{5}{100} × 1 = 60× 5 = Rs . 300$
Total money owed after $1 year = 6000 + 300 = 6300$

And$,$
$Rs. 1200$ paid $,$ So
Total money starting of second year $= 6300 - 1200 = Rs.5100$

And$,$
Interest after $2 year = 5100 × 5 × 1100 = 51× 5 = Rs . 255$
money owned after $2 year = 5100 + 255 = 5355$

And$,$
$Rs. 1200$ paid $,$ So
Total money outstanding starting of Third year $= 5355 - 1200$ $= Rs.4155$

Hence,
option $(A)$ is correct answer.

  2. Rs 13,500

  3. Rs 15, 000

  4. None of these

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Let p invested Rs x Then q invested Rs $(27000-x)$
$\therefore x(1+\dfrac{8}{100})^{2}-1+(27000-x)(1+\dfrac{9}{100})^{2}-1=4818.30$
$\Rightarrow (x\times \dfrac{104}{625})+\dfrac{1881(27000-x)}{10000}= \dfrac{481830}{100}$
$\Rightarrow 1664x+1881(27000-x)=48183000$
$\Rightarrow (1881x-1664x)=50787000-48183000$
 Or $217x=2604000$
  Or $x=12000 Rs$
