Answer : [C]
Explanation :
 
P = Rs. 800, R = 4 1  % = 9  %, T = 3 years. Then,          
2 2

Answer : [D]
Explanation :
 
Let the sum lent out be Rs. P. If 10% is per annum, for 6 months
 
It is 5%.    r = 10%, r = 5%
 
Given that P   1 + r   4 - P   1 + r   2 = 500    
100 100    
 
p
  1 + 5  
100
4 -
  1 + 10  
100
2    = 500  
 
P  
21 x 21 x 21 x 21 - 11 x 11
20 20 20 20 10 10
   = 500  
 
 
P
400
 
21 x 21 x 21 x 21
400
 - 22 x 22    = 500  
 
P
400
 
441 x 441 - 484 x 400
400
   = 500  
 
P = 500 x 400 x 400  = Rs. 1,35,072      
194181 - 19360
