SSC CHSL Similar 15 Nov S1 – Question 67

Question:

A certain sum is invested at compound interest, compounded annually. The interest earned in the first year is Rs. 1,800 and in the second year is Rs. 2,160. Find 50% of the principal amount.

एक निश्चित राशि को वार्षिक रूप से संयोजित चक्रवृद्धि ब्याज पर निवेश किया जाता है। पहले वर्ष में अर्जित ब्याज 1,800 रुपये और दूसरे वर्ष में 2,160 रुपये है। मूलधन का 50% ज्ञात कीजिए।

Options:

  • Rs. 4,500
  • Rs. 6,000
  • Rs. 5,000
  • Rs. 7,000
  • 4,500 रुपये
  • 6,000 रुपये
  • 5,000 रुपये
  • 7,000 रुपये

Correct Answer: a)

Explanation:

Increase in interest in 2nd year = \(2160 – 1800 = \text{Rs. } 360\).
Rate of interest \(R = \dfrac{360}{1800} \times 100 = 20\%\).
First year interest = \(P \times 20\% = 1800 \implies P = \text{Rs. } 9000\).
50\% of Principal = \(9000 / 2 = \text{Rs. } 4,500\).

दूसरे वर्ष ब्याज में वृद्धि = \(2160 – 1800 = 360\) रुपये।
ब्याज दर \(R = \dfrac{360}{1800} \times 100 = 20\%\)।
मूलधन \(P = \dfrac{1800 \times 100}{20} = 9000\) रुपये।
मूलधन का 50% = 4,500 रुपये।
