SIMPLE PROBLEMS




1.Find the present worth of Rs.930 due 3 years hence at 8% per

annum.Aso find the discount?

Sol: Amount=RS.930,Time=3years,Rate=8%

TrueDiscount = (Presentworth*Time*Rate)/100

Presentworth = (Amount*100) /(100+(R*T))

Presentworth = (930*100)/(100+(8*3)

=Rs.750

TrueDiscount = (930*3*8)/(100+(8*3)) =Rs.180 (or)

TrueDiscount = Amount-Presentworth

=Rs.930-Rs.750

=Rs.180

2.The truediscount on a bill due 9 months hence at 12% per

annum is Rs540.Find the amount of the bill and its presentworth?

Sol: Time=9months=9/12years=3/4years

Rate=12%

TrueDiscount=Rs540

TrueDiscount=(Amount*100)/(100+(R*T))

=>Amount=(TrueDiscount*(100+(R*T))) /100

=(540*(100+12*(3/4))/100

=Rs.6540

Presentworth=Amount-TrueDiscount

=Rs.6540-Rs540

=Rs.6000

3.The TrueDiscount on a certain sum of money due 3 years hence is Rs.250

and SimpeInterest on the same sum for same time and same rate is Rs375

find sum and rate%?

Sol: Time=3 years

Truediscount=Rs.250

SimpeInterest=Rs375

Sum = (SimpeInterest*TrueDiscount)/(SimpeInterest-TrueDiscount)

= (375*250)/(375-250)
=Rs.750
SimpeInterest=(Principle*Time*Rate)/100
375 = ( 750*3R)/100
R=50/3%
=> Rate=162/3%


4.The difference between SimpeInterest and TrueDiscount on a certain sum
of money for 6 months at 121/2% per annum is Rs25.find the sum.

Sol: Let amount be Rs.x
SimpleInterest=(Amount*T*R)/100
TrueDiscount=(Amount*T*R)/(100+(R*T))
SI-T.D=Rs25
=>((x*6/12*25/2)/100)-((x*6/12*25/2)/(100+(6/12*25/2))=25
=>x=Rs.6800


5.The Present worth of Rs.2310 due 21/2yrs henceThe interest being 15%
per annum is
sol: Amount=Rs2310,Time=21/2yrs,Rate=15%

Presentworth = (Amount*100) /(100+(R*T))

=2310*100/(100+15*5/2)

=Rs1680.
