The following questions are accompanied by three statements (I), (II), and (III). You have to determine which statements(s) is/are sufficient/necessary to answer the questions. Find the amount of money invested by Jamnalal in the scheme? I. An increase in simple interest from 44/3% to 58/3% per annum increases his yearly income by 2800. II. The sum invested get doubled, when invested at 20% per annum for 5 years. III. Amount on sum is twice in 5 years.
The following questions are accompanied by three statements (I), (II), and (III). You have to determine which statements(s) is/are sufficient/necessary to answer the questions. Find the amount of money invested by Jamnalal in the scheme? I. An increase in simple interest from 44/3% to 58/3% per annum increases his yearly income by 2800. II. The sum invested get doubled, when invested at 20% per annum for 5 years. III. Amount on sum is twice in 5 years. Correct Answer Only I
Let the invested amount be Rs. x
From statement I:
⇒ SI = P × r × n/100
Increase in rate of interest = 58/3 – 44/3 = 14/3%
Increase in SI because of increased rate of interest:
⇒ x × 14/3 × 1/100
This increase = Increase in income = 2800
⇒ x × 14/3 × 1/100 = 2800
⇒ x = 280000 × 3/14
⇒ x = 60,000
From statement II:
⇒ P = x
⇒ SI = 2X
⇒ 2x = x × 20 × 5/100
X cannot be calculated.
From statement III:
Since rate of interest is not given, we cannot calculate
From here x cannot be calculated
∴ Statement I alone is sufficient while statement II and III are not sufficient to answer the question.
