Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) is an investment vehicle offered by mutual funds to investors, allowing them to invest small amounts periodically instead of lump sums. It is good for investors who don't have much financial market's understanding. It involves lesser risks and low returns because investment is done in small amounts over a period of time.

  2. Rs 5555.5

  3. Rs 5452.0

  4. Rs 4452.5

  5. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: A
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.

  1. Rs 12, 000

  2. Rs 13,500

  3. Rs 15, 000

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: A
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 $x=12000 Rs$

A family made a down payment of $75 and borrowed a set of encyclopedias that cost $400. The balance with interest was paid in 23 monthly payments of $16 each and a final payment of $9. What was the per cent of interest to the borrowed sum?

investement and financial planning banking compound interest comparing quantity maths

  1. 12 %

  2. 14 %

  3. 16 %

  4. 18 %

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Total cost =$ 400
Down payment=$ 75
Remaining amount=$400-75=$ 325$
Balanced paid in 24 months=$23 \times 16+9=$ 377$
Difference=$377-325=$52$
The per cent of interest to the borrowed sum=$\frac{52}{325}\times 100=16$


A $500 investment and a $1,500 investment have a combined yearly return of 8.5 per cent of the total of the two investments. If $500 investment has a yearly return of 7 per cent, what per cent yearly return does the $1,500 investment have?

investement and financial planning banking compound interest comparing quantity maths

  1. $9$

  2. $10$

  3. $11$

  4. $11\displaystyle \frac{1}{9}$

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Total investment by A=$500+1500=2000$
Yearly return =8.5 % of 2000
$\Rightarrow \frac{8.5}{100}\times2000=170$
Yearly return of 500=7% of 500
$\Rightarrow \frac{7}{100}\times500=35$
Let yearly return of 1500 is x
Yearly return=x% of 1500
$\Rightarrow \frac{x}{100}\times 1500=15x$
Then according to the question
$\Rightarrow 35+15x=170$
$\Rightarrow 15x=170-35$
$\Rightarrow 15x=135$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{135}{15}=9$
