Question

The simple interest on a certain sum for 3 ½ years at 12% per annum is Rs. 98 more than the simple interest on the same sum for 2 ½ years at 14% per annum. Find the sum.

hintHint:

Equate both the cases and then find the sum.

The correct answer is: P=Rs 1400


    Complete step by step solution:
    Let the sum of money = P

    Case Ι
    Principal amount = P, Rate = 12% and time = 3.5 years
    We know the formula of Interest I = fraction numerator P T R over denominator 100 end fraction,
    where P is Principal amount, T is number of years and  is rate of interest
    On substituting the values, we get I equals fraction numerator p cross times 3.5 cross times 12 over denominator 100 end fraction equals fraction numerator 42 P over denominator 100 end fraction…(i)
    Case Ⅱ
    Principal amount = P, Rate = 14% and time = 2.5 years
    We know the formula of Interest I = fraction numerator P T R over denominator 100 end fraction,
    where P is Principal amount, T is number of years and  is rate of interest
    On substituting the values, we get I equals fraction numerator P cross times 2.5 cross times 14 over denominator 100 end fraction equals fraction numerator 35 P over denominator 100 end fraction…(ii)
    It is given that the simple interest for case I is Rs 98 more than the simple interest for case Ⅱ.
    So, fraction numerator 42 P over denominator 100 end fraction minus fraction numerator 35 P over denominator 100 end fraction equals 98
    fraction numerator 7 P over denominator 100 end fraction equals 98
    On multiplying  on both the sides, we get 7p = 9800
    Divide the above equation by 7 on both the sides,
    We get P = 1400
    Hence the sum P = Rs 1400

    The table shows the racing times in minutes for the first two laps in a race. Complete the scatter plot.

    Scattered plots can display relationships between two pairs of continuous data. These graphs show symbols at the paired variables' data points' X and Y coordinates. Scattergrams and scatter charts are other names for scatterplots.
    By looking at the dot pattern on a scatterplot, you may detect whether two continuous variables are correlated or related. The scatterplot shows the direction of any relationship and whether it is linear or curved if one exists. 1.) values on the X-axis of a continuous variable. When one of the variables may be categorized as an independent variable, this is typically the independent variable.
    2.) Values on the Y-axis of a continuous variable are usually the dependent variable.
    3.) Plotting of symbols at your data's (X, Y) coordinates. Represents various groups on the same graph; the graph can use various colored or shaped symbols.
