D) Rs. 22000


Solution...
Rule 1) 2 year CI= (2×r)+( r^2/100)

Rule 2) 3year CI= (3×r)+(3×r^2/100)+ (r^3/100^2)

Rule 3) 2year difference between SI and CI

Difference= sum × (r/100)^2

Now ans))
1) B
1year interest 854-815=39
3year interest 39×3=117

Sum=815-117=698

2) A
2000×5%=100

Then (2000+2000+100)× 5%=205

Total 100+205=305

3) A
P=100×100/4×4= 625

4) C
6year 60%
1year 10% rate

3year 10% CI=33.1%
12000×33.1%=3972

5) C
Difference=P×(r/100)^2

D=96
P=15000
So r=8%

6) C
2year 5% SI=10%
2year 5% CI=10.25%

10%=60rs
10.25%=61.50rs

7) A
20% CI for 2 year=44%

10% CI for 4 year=46.41% ( as compounded half yearly)

46.41-44%=60.25
2.41%=60.25
100%=2500

8) B
10% 1year=10%
5% 1year =10.25% (compounded half yearly)

900×0.25%=2.25
 (10.25-10=0.25)

9) A
5000× (6.25-4)
5000×2.25%=112.50

10) B
12×3=36%
36%=5400
100%=15000
