A. B. C. D. E.

I only III only I or II only II and Either I or III only All I, II and III are required

Answer & Explanation

Answer: Option D Explanation: I. gives, Rate = 5% p.a. II. gives, S.I. for 1 year = Rs. 600.

III. gives, sum = 10 x (S.I. for 2 years). Now I, and II give the sum. For this sum, C.I. and hence amount can be obtained. Thus, III is redundant. Again, II gives S.I. for 2 years = Rs. (600 x 2) = Rs. 1200. Now, from III, Sum = Rs. (10 x 1200) = Rs . 12000. Thus, Rate = 100 x 1200 2 x 12000 = 5% p.a.

Thus, C.I. for 2 years and therefore, amount can be obtained. Thus, I is redundant. Hence, I or III redundant. View Answer Workspace Report Discuss in Forum 2.

A. B. C. D. E.

I and II only II and III only I and III only Either II or III only Any two of the three

Answer & Explanation

Answer: Option D Explanation: I. gives, S.I for 3 years = Rs. 4500.

II. gives, Rate = 10% p.a. III. gives, (C.I.) - (S.I.) = Rs. 465. Clearly, using I and III we get C.I. = Rs. (465 + 4500). Thus, II is redundant. 100 x 4500 10 x 3

Also, from I and II, we get sum =

= 15000.

Now C.I. on Rs. 15000 at 10% p.a. for 3 years may be obtained. Thus, III is redundant. Either II or III is redundant. View Answer Workspace Report Discuss in Forum
