Answer : [A]
Explanation :
 
Here, z = Rs. 9, a = Rs. 1, b =12,  n =10, R = ?
 
Using the formula
 
  z = na.+ Ra  x n(n-1)  
100 x b 2  
 
  We get 9 = 10 x 1 + R x 1 x 10 x 9  
  100 x 12 2  
 
 
 
90R = 1
 
R = 2400  = 266 2 %

Answer : [C]
Explanation :
 
Here, I = Rs. 256
 
Let the principal be Rs. 100
 
Let the rate of interest per annum be x%
 
The, time(T) = x years
 
Therefore, using the formula
 
  R = 100 x I    
P x T  
 
We have, x = 100 x 256
x2 = 256 or x = 16%
100 x x
 
  Rate of interest per annum is 16%

Answer : [D]
Explanation :
 
  Let the parts be x, y and [2379 - (x + y)].
 
  x + x x 2 x 5  = y + y x 3 x 5  = z + z x 4 x 5    
  100 100 100    
 
 
 
  11x = 23y = 6z  = k
 
 x = 10k , y = 20K , z = 5k      
10 20 5 11 23 6      
 
  But x + y + z = 2379
 
 
 
  10k + 20k = 5k  = 2379
 
  1380k + 1320K + 1265K = 2379 x 11 x 23 x 6      
11 23 6      
 
 
 
 k = 2379 x 11 x 23 x 6 = 3 x 11 x 23 x 6  
3965 5  
 
 
 
 x = 10 x 3 x 11 x 23 x 6  = 828.    
11 5    
 
 Hence, the first part is Rs. 828.
