R =   
  y  
x  
I/B-A - 1    x 100%  
 
=    13176  - 1    x 100%

Answer : [D]
Explanation :
 
Difference in C.I. and S.I. for 2 years = Rs. (696.30 - 660) = Rs. 36.30.
 
S.I.  for one year = Rs. 330.
 
 
  S.I. on Rs. 330 for 1 year = Rs. 36.30.    
 
 
  Rate = 100 x 36.30 % = 11%  
330 x 1

Answer : [B]
Explanation :
 
Let P be the principal and R% per annum be the rate. Then,
 
  P 1 + R 3  = 10648 ...(i)    
  100    
 
and P 1 + R 2  = 9680 ...(ii)    
100    
 
On dividing (i) by (ii), we have
 
 
1 + R  = 10648  
100 9680  
 
 
R  = 968 = 1  
100 9680 10  
 
 
R  = 1 x 100 = 10%

Answer : [A]
Explanation :
 
Let the investment in scheme A be Rs. x
 
Then, investment in scheme B = Rs. (27000 - x).
 
 
  x x
 
  1 + 8   2 - 1
100
 
 + (27000 - x)  
  1 + 9   2 - 1
100
     = 4818.30  
 
 
 
 
x x 104
625
 
+
1881(27000 - x)
10000
=
481830
100
 
 
 
  1664x + 1881 (27000 - x) = 48183000  
 
 
  (1881x - 1664x) = (50787000 - 48183000)  
 
 
   217x = 2604000      
   
 
 
   x = 2604000  = 12000
