Simple Interest [साधारण ब्याज-03

Question: At a certain rate of simple interest Rs. 800 amounted to Rs. 920 in 3 years. If the rate of interest be increased by 3%, what will be the amount after 3 years? [साधारण ब्याज की एक विशेष दर से 3 वर्षों में 800 रूपये बढ़कर 920 रूपये हो जाता है. यदि ब्याज की दर में 3% की वृद्धि होती है, तो बताएं कि 3 वर्षों के बाद मिश्रधन कितना हो जायेगा?] [Ans. (b) Rs. 992]

(a) Rs. 929  (b) Rs. 992  (c) Rs. 892  (d) Rs. 982 (e) None of these

Detailed Explanation: Since principal and time remain the same, and only rate is increased by 3%,  so at the rate of 3% pan and for the period of 3 years; the extra interest generated (3% × 3 = 9%) only is to be paid in addition to the amount (Rs. 920)  paid earlier. There is no need to calculate the rate of interest.

Principal is always taken as 100% and simple interest is calculated on the basis of principal (assuming it as 100% always) not on the basis of amount.

First Method:

                                          100% ≡? = Rs. 800
                                              9% ≡? = Rs. 72
                                       Required Amount = Rs. (920 + 72) = Rs. 992 Ans.

Second Method:
                                                   9% of Rs. 800 = Rs. 72
                                         Required Amount = Rs. (920 + 72) = Rs. 992 Ans.


Third Method: Rs. 800 becomes in Rs. 920 in 3 years, so the simple interest in 3 years is Rs. 120. The simple interest in one year is Rs. 40, which is 5% of Rs. 800 (As 100% ≡ Rs. 800, or it means 10% ≡ Rs. 80, or it means 5% ≡ Rs. 40). If the rate of interest is increased by 3%, then the new increased rate of interest is 8% pan. In three years, the S.I. (Simple Interest) will be 24%

                                          100% ≡ Rs. 800
                                            25% ≡ Rs. 200
                                              1% ≡ Rs. 8                               
                                         So, 24% ≡ Rs. 192                    
                                          Required Amount = Rs. (920 + 72) = Rs. 992 Ans.
Or, we can proceed as
                                          100% ≡ Rs. 800
                                            20% ≡ Rs. 160   (since, 10% ≡ Rs. 80)
                                              4% ≡ Rs. 32     (since, 1% ≡ Rs. 8)                               
                                      So, 24% ≡ Rs. 192                    
                                 Required Amount = Rs. (920 + 72) = Rs. 992 Ans.
