Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option B

Quantity I < Quantity Il

Solution :

To determine the relationship between Quantity I and Quantity II, we will calculate the value of each sum step-by-step.

Quantity I: The sum on which simple interest earned is Rs. 2340 at the rate of 6% per annum in 2 years.
Let the principal sum for Quantity I be P1.
The formula for simple interest (SI) is:
SI=P×R×T100
Where:
SI = Rs. 2340
Rate (R) = 6% per annum
Time (T) = 2 years
Substituting these values into the formula:
2340=P1×6×2100
2340=12P1100
12P1=234000
P1=23400012
P1=19500
So, Quantity I = Rs. 19,500.

Quantity II: The sum of money that earned Rs. 5 simple interest per day at the rate of 5% per annum in 2017.
Let the principal sum for Quantity II be P2.
The year 2017 is a non-leap year, which means it has 365 days.
The total simple interest earned in the year is:
SI=Rs. 5×365=Rs. 1825
Rate (R) = 5% per annum
Time (T) = 1 year
Substituting these values into the simple interest formula:
1825=P2×5×1100
1825=5P2100
5P2=182500
P2=1825005
P2=36500
So, Quantity II = Rs. 36,500.

Comparison:
Comparing the two values:
Quantity I = Rs. 19,500
Quantity II = Rs. 36,500
Clearly, 19,500 < 36,500, which means Quantity I < Quantity II.
