Q. If a sum of money is invested at a simple interest rate of 6% per annum, how much interest will be earned on a principal of $8000 after 4 years? (1920)

A. $1920
B. $2400
C. $3200
D. $4800

Solution

Using SI = PRT, SI = 8000 * 0.06 * 4 = $1920.

Q. If a sum of money triples itself in 15 years at simple interest, what is the rate of interest?

A. 5%
B. 6.67%
C. 10%
D. 15%

Solution

If the sum triples, the interest earned is 2P in 15 years. Thus, 2P = PRT implies R = 2/15 = 13.33%, which is approximately 6.67%.

Correct Answer: B — 6.67%

Q. If a sum of Rs. 1200 is invested at a compound interest rate of 5% per annum, what will be the amount after 3 years?

Q. If angle A and angle B are supplementary, and angle A is 3 times angle B, what is the measure of angle A?

A. 90 degrees
B. 120 degrees
C. 180 degrees
D. 60 degrees
