Question

A certain sum amounts to Rs.3825 in 4 years and to Rs.4050 in 6 years. Find the rate percent and the sum.

Sum

Solution

In 6 years sum amounts to = Rs.4050

In 4 years sum amounts to = Rs.3825

∴ Interest of 2 years = Rs.4050 − Rs.3825 = Rs.225

The interest of 4 years = Rs.`225/2xx4`

= Rs.450 ...(∵ Rs.225 is interest for 2 years)

Now P = A − I

= Rs.3825 − Rs.450

= Rs.3375

I = Rs.450

T = 4 years

R =`(100xx"I")/("P"xx"T")`

`=(100xx450)/(3375xx4)`

`= 45000/13500%=450/135%`

`=10/3%=3 1/3%`

∴ R =`3 1/3%`

P = Rs.3375
