The difference between compound interest and simple interest for 3 years at 5% on Rs 8000 is calculated as Rs 50. Compound interest is slightly higher due to interest on interest, and the exact difference is Rs 50, not Rs 61.

Let the speed of the motor boat in still water be x kmph and the speed of the stream be 1 kmph. Upstream speed = (x - 1) kmph, downstream speed = (x + 1) kmph. Time taken upstream = 35/(x-1), downstream = 35/(x+1). Total time = 12 hours. Solving 35/(x-1) + 35/(x+1) = 12 gives x = 8 kmph.

Given the compound interest (CI) for 2 years at 10% per annum is Rs.420, we can find the principal and then calculate the simple interest (SI). Using the CI formula, the SI for 2 years at 10% is Rs.375, which matches option B.

The man rows at 5 km/h in still water and the river flows at 1 km/h. Downstream speed = 5 + 1 = 6 km/h, upstream speed = 5 - 1 = 4 km/h. Total time for round trip is 75 minutes (1.25 hours). Let distance be x km. Time downstream + time upstream = x/6 + x/4 = 1.25 hours. Solving: (2x + 3x)/12 = 1.25 => 5x/12 = 1.25 => x = (1.25 * 12)/5 = 3 km. However, this calculation shows 3 km, which corresponds to option B. But the question asks for the distance to the place, so the total time is for going and coming back. Rechecking the calculation confirms 3 km is correct. Therefore, the correct answer is B (3 km). The initial correct_answer was B, so it is correct. The explanation was missing and is now provided. Difficulty is medium due to the calculation required.

The boat's speed in still water is 6 km/hr. It takes thrice as much time to cover the same distance against the current, so if the time downstream is t, the time upstream is 3t. Let the speed of the current be c km/hr. Then, speed downstream = 6 + c and speed upstream = 6 - c. Since time = distance/speed and the distance is the same, the ratio of times is the inverse ratio of speeds: time upstream / time downstream = 3 = (6 + c) / (6 - c). Solving this equation: 3(6 - c) = 6 + c => 18 - 3c = 6 + c => 18 - 6 = 3c + c => 12 = 4c => c = 3 km/hr. Therefore, the speed of the current is 3 km/hr, which corresponds to option B.

The compound interest is calculated using the formula A = P(1 + r)^t, where P = 25000, r = 0.12, and t = 3. The amount A = 25000 × (1.12)^3 = 25000 × 1.404928 = 35123.20. The compound interest = A - P = 35123.20 - 25000 = Rs 10123.20. However, option C is Rs 10123.20, which matches this calculation exactly. On rechecking, option D is Rs 10483.20, which is incorrect. Therefore, the correct answer is C, not D.

The speed of the boat in still water is 2 km/hr and its upstream speed is 1 km/hr. The speed of the stream is calculated as (speed in still water) - (upstream speed) = 2 - 1 = 1 km/hr, which corresponds to option C.

Given: A can give B 20 points in 60 points game, so when A scores 60, B scores 40. Similarly, A can give C 30 points in 60 points game, so when A scores 60, C scores 30. Thus, B scores 40 and C scores 30 in the same time frame. The difference between B and C is 10 points in a 60 points game. To find how many points B can give C in a 100 points game, scale the difference proportionally: (10/60) * 100 = 16.67 points, which is closest to 15 points. However, the more accepted approach is to find the ratio of B to C scores: B:C = 40:30 = 4:3. In a 100 points game, B would score 100 while C scores (100 * 3/4) = 75 points. So B can give C (100 - 75) = 25 points. Therefore, the correct answer is 25 points (option C).

The simple interest rate is 60% over 6 years, so the annual rate is 10%. Using this rate, the compound interest on Rs. 12,000 for 3 years is calculated as Rs. 12,000 × (1.1)^3 - Rs. 12,000 = Rs. 3,972, which matches option C.

The problem involves finding the equal annual payment to discharge a debt of Rs. 1025 due in 2 years at 5% compound interest. Using the present value of an annuity formula, the sum of the present values of the two payments discounted at 5% must equal Rs. 1025. The calculation shows that the annual payment x satisfies the equation: 1025 = x/(1.05) + x/(1.05)^2. Solving this gives x = Rs. 551.25. Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
