In how many years will a sum of Rs. 16000 earn a compound interest of Rs. 3448.10 at 10% per annum, compounded annually?
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Amount = 16000 + 3448.10 = 19448.10. 19448.10 / 16000 = 1.21550625. Since (1.1)^3 = 1.331 and (1.1)^2 = 1.21... Let's evaluate carefully: 194481 / 160000 = (21/20)^n... Wait, 16000 * (1.1)^3 = 16000 * 1.331 = 21296. Mismatch. Let's calculate exactly: 16000 * (1.05)^n? Let's check 16000 * (1.1)^2 = 19360. Let's fix the math parameter: If Principal = 10000, CI = 3310 at 10% for 3 years. Let's use clean parameters: Principal Rs. 8000, Rate 5%, Time 3 years, Amount = 9261, CI = 1261. Let's find n for 16000 at 5% semi-annually? To ensure direct accuracy, let's keep the question structure perfectly clean: Sum Rs. 20000, 10% rate, 2 years, CI = 4200. Let's replace the item with a completely clean verified entry.

A sum of money becomes Rs. 11025 in 2 years at 5% compound interest. The sum is:
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
P = 11025 / (1.05)² = 11025 / 1.1025 = 10000.
P = 11025 / (1.05)² = 11025 / 1.1025 = 10000.

A sum of money at compound interest becomes Rs. 7396 in 2 years and Rs. 7950.70 in 3 years. Find the sum.
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Rate = (7950.70/7396 - 1)*100 = 7.5%? 7950.70/7396 = 1.075, so 7.5%. P = 7396 / (1.075)² = 7396 / 1.155625 = 6400 exactly. Check: 1.075^2 = 1.155625, 6400*1.155625 = 7396. So answer 6400.
Rate = (7950.70/7396 - 1)*100 = 7.5%? 7950.70/7396 = 1.075, so 7.5%. P = 7396 / (1.075)² = 7396 / 1.155625 = 6400 exactly. Check: 1.075^2 = 1.155625, 6400*1.155625 = 7396. So answer 6400.
