Answer :

It is given that

Amount (A) = ₹ 9261

Rate of interest (r) = 5% per annum

Period (n) = 3 years

We know that

A = P (1 + r/100)n

Substituting the values

9261 = P (1 + 5/100)3

By further calculation

9261 = P (21/20)3

So we get

P = (9261 × 20 × 20 × 20)/ (21 × 21 × 21)

P = ₹ 8000

Therefore, the sum of money is ₹ 8000.

Question 11. What sum invested at 4% per annum compounded semi-annually amounts to ₹ 7803 at the end of one year?

Answer :

It is given that

Amount (A) = ₹ 7803

Rate of interest (r) = 4% p.a. or 2% semi-annually

= ₹ 7500

Hence, the principal is ₹ 7500.

Question 12. What sum invested for 1 ½ years compounded half yearly at the rate of 4% p.a. will amount to ₹132651?

Answer:

It is given that

Amount (A) = ₹ 132651

Rate of interest (r) = 4% p.a. or 2% half yearly

Period (n) = 1 ½ years or 3 half years

We know that

A = P (1 + r/100)n

It can be written as

P = A ÷ (1 + r/100)n

Substituting the values

= 132651 ÷ (1 + 2/100)3

By further calculation

= 132651 ÷ (51/50)3

So we get

= 132651 × (50/51)3

= 132651 × 50/51 × 50/51 × 50/51

= ₹ 125000

Hence, the principal amount is ₹ 125000.

Question 13. On what sum will the compound interest for 2 years at 4% per annum be ₹ 5712?

Answer:

It is given that

CI = ₹ 5712

Rate of interest (r) = 4% p.a.

Period (n) = 2 years

We know that

A = P (1 + r/100)n

It can be written as

CI = A – P = P (1 + r/100)n – P

= P [(1 + r/100)n – 1]

Substituting the values

5712 = P [(1 + 4/100)2 – 1]

= P [(26/25)2 – 1]

By further calculation

= P [676/625 – 1]

Taking LCM

= P [(676 – 625)/ 625]

= P × 51/625

Here

P = 5712 × 625/51

= 112 × 625

= ₹ 70000

Hence, the principal amount is ₹ 70000.

Question 14. A man invests ₹ 1200 for two years at compound interest. After one year the money amounts to ₹ 1275. Find the interest for the second year correct to the nearest rupee.

Answer :

It is given that

Principal = ₹ 1200

After one year, the amount = ₹ 1275

So the interest for one year = 1275 – 1200 = ₹ 75

We know that

Rate of interest = (SI × 100)/ (P × t)

Substituting the values

= (75 × 100)/ (1200 × 1)

By further calculation

= 75/12

= 25/4

= 6 ¼ % p.a.

Here

Interest for the second year on ₹ 1275 at the rate of 25/4% = Prt/100

Substituting the values

= (1275 × 25 × 1)/ (100 × 4)

By further calculation

= 1275/16

= ₹ 79.70

= ₹ 80

Question 15. At what rate percent per annum compound interest will ₹ 2304 amount to ₹ 2500 in 2 years?

Answer:

It is given that

Amount = ₹ 2500

Principal = ₹ 2304

Period (n) = 2 years

Consider r% p.a. as the rate of interest

We know that

A = P (1 + r/100)n

It can be written as

(1 + r/100)n = A/P

Substituting the values

(1 + r/100)2 = 2500/2304

By further calculation

(1 + r/100)2 = 625/576 = (25/24)2

So we get

1 + r/100 = 25/24

r/100 = 25/24 – 1

Taking LCM

r = 100/24 = 25/6 = 4 1/6

Hence, the rate of interest is 4 1/6% p.a.

Question 16. A sum compounded annually becomes 25/16 time of itself in two years. Determine the rate of interest per annum.

Answer:

Consider sum (P) = x

Amount (A) = 25/16x

Period (n) = 2 years

We know that

A/P = (1 + r/100)n

Substituting the values

25x/16x = (1 + r/100)2

By further calculation

(1 + r/100)2 = (5/4)2

So we get

1 + r/100 = 5/4

r/100 = 5/4 – 1/1 = 1/4

By cross multiplication

r = 100 × ¼ = 25

Hence, the rate of interest is 25% p.a.

Question 17. At what rate percent will ₹ 2000 amount to ₹ 2315.25 in 3 years at compound interest?

Answer:

It is given that

Principal (P) = ₹ 2000

Amount (A) = ₹ 2315.25

Period (n) = 3 years

Consider r% p.a. as the rate of interest

We know that

A/P = (1 + r/100)n

Substituting the values

2315.25/2000 = (1 + r/100)3

By further calculation

(1 + r/100)3 = 231525/(100 × 2000) = 9261/8000 = (21/20)3

So we get

1 + r/100 = 21/20

It can be written as

r/100 = 21/20 – 1 = 1/20

r = 100/20 = 5

Hence, the rate of interest is 5% p.a.

Question 18. If ₹ 40000 amounts to ₹ 48620.25 in 2 years, compound interest payable half-yearly, find the rate of interest per annum.

Answer:

It is given that

Principal (P) = ₹ 40000

Amount (A) = ₹ 48620.25

Period (n) = 2 years = 4 half years

Consider rate of interest = r% p.a. = r/2% half yearly

We know that

A/P = (1 + r/100)n

Substituting the values

48620.25/40000 = (1 + r/200)4

By further calculation

(1 + r/200)4 = 4862025/ (100 × 40000) = 194481/160000

So we get

(1 + r/200)4 = (21/20)4

It can be written as

1 + r/200 = 21/20

r/200 = 21/20 – 1 = 1/20

By cross multiplication

r = 200 × 1/20 = 10

Hence the rate of interest per annum is 10%.

Question 19. Determine the rate of interest for a sum that becomes 216/125 times of itself in 1 ½ years, compounded semi-annually.

Answer:

Consider principal (P) = x

Amount (A) = 216/125 x

Period (n) = 1 ½ years = 3 half years

Take rate percent per year = 2r% and r% half yearly

We know that

A/P = (1 + r/100)n

Substituting the values

216x/125x = (1 + r/100)3

By further calculation

(1 + r/100)3 = 216/125 = (6/5)3

So we get

1 + r/100 = 6/5

r/100 = 6/5 – 1 = 1/5

By cross multiplication

r = 100 × 1/5 = 20%

So the rate percent per year = 2 × 20 = 40%

Question 20. At what rate percent p.a. compound interest would ₹ 80000 amounts to ₹ 88200 in two years, interest being compounded yearly. Also find the amount after 3 years at the above rate of compound interest.

Answer:

It is given that

Principal (P) = ₹ 80000

Amount (A) = ₹ 88200

Period (n) = 2 years

Consider r% per annum as the rate of interest percent

We know that

A/P = (1 + r/100)n

Substituting the values

88200/80000 = (1 + r/100)2

By further calculation

(1 + r/100)2 = 441/400 = (21/20)2

So we get

1 + r/100 = 21/20

r/100 = 21/20 – 1 = 1/20

By cross multiplication

r = 1/20 × 100 = 5

Hence, the rate of interest is 5% per annum.

Question 21. A certain sum amounts to ₹ 5292 in 2 years and to ₹ 5556.60 in 3 years at compound interest. Find the rate and the sum.

Answer:

It is given that

Amount after 2 years = ₹ 5292

Amount after 3 years = ₹ 5556.60

So the difference = 5556.60 – 5292 = ₹ 264.60

Here ₹ 264.60 is the interest on ₹ 5292 for one year

We know that

Rate % = (SI × 100)/ (P × t)

Substituting the values

= (264.60 × 100)/ (5292 × 1)

Multiply and divide by 100

= (26460 × 100)/ (100 × 5292)

= 5%

Here

A = P (1 + r/100)n

Substituting the values

5292 = P (1 + 5/100)2

By further calculation

P = 5292 ÷ (1 + 5/100)2

So we get

P = 5292 ÷ (21/20)2

P = 5292 × 21/20 × 21/20

P = ₹ 4800

Hence, the rate is 5% and the sum is ₹ 4800.

Question 22. A certain sum amounts to ₹ 798.60 after 3 years and ₹ 878.46 after 4 years. Find the interest rate and the sum.

Answer:

It is given that

Amount after 3 years = ₹ 798.60

Amount after 4 years = ₹ 878.46

So the difference = 878.46 – 798.60 = ₹ 79.86

Here ₹ 79.86 is the interest on ₹ 798.60 for 1 year.

We know that

Rate = (SI × 100)/ (P × t)

Substituting the values

= (79.86 × 100)/ (798.60 × 1)

Multiply and divide by 100

= (7986 × 100 × 100)/ (79860 × 100 × 1)

= 10%

Here

A = P (1 + r/100)n

It can be written as

P = A ÷ (1 + r/100)n

Substituting the values

P = 798.60 ÷ (1 + 10/100)3

By further calculation

P = 79860/100 × 10/11 × 10/11 × 10/11

P = ₹ 600

Question 23. In what time will ₹ 15625 amount to ₹ 17576 at 4% per annum compound interest?

Answer:

Rate = 4% p.a.

Consider n years as the period

We know that

A/P = (1 + r/100)n

Substituting the values

17576/15625 = (1 + 4/100)n

By further calculation

(26/25)3 = (26/25)n

So we get

n = 3

Question 24. (i) In what time will ₹ 1500 yield ₹ 496.50 as compound interest at 10% per annum compounded annually?

(ii) Find the time (in years) in which ₹ 12500 will produce ₹ 3246.40 as compound interest at 8% per annum, interest compounded annually.

Answer :

(i) It is given that

Principal (P) = ₹ 1500

CI = ₹ 496.50

So the amount (A) = P + SI

Substituting the values

= 1500 + 496.50

= ₹ 1996.50

Rate (r) = 10% p.a.

We know that

A = P (1 + r/100)n

It can be written as

A/P = (1 + r/100)n

Substituting the values

1996.50/1500 = (1 + 10/100)n

By further calculation

199650/(1500 × 100) = (11 /10)n

So we get

1331/1000 = (11/10)n

(11/10)3 = (11/10)n

Here Time n = 3 years

(ii) It is given that

Principal (P) = ₹ 12500

CI = ₹ 3246.40

So the amount (A) = P + CI

Substituting the values

= 12500 + 3246.40

= ₹ 15746.40

Rate (r) = 8% p.a.

We know that

A = P (1 + r/100)n

It can be written as

A/P = (1 + r/100)n

Substituting the values

15746.40/12500 = (1 + 8/100)n

Multiply and divide by 100

1574640/ (12500 × 100) = (27/25)n

By further calculation

78732/ (12500 × 5) = (27/ 25)n

19683/ (3125 × 5) = (27/25)n

So we get

19683/15625 = (27/25)n

(27/25)3 = (27/25)n

Here Period = 3 years

Consider period = n half years

We know that

A/P = (1 + r/100)n

Substituting the values

18522/16000 = (1 + 5/100)n

By further calculation

9261/8000 = (21/20)n

So we get

(21/20)3 = (21/20)n

n = 3 half years

Here

Time = 3/2 = 1 ½ years

Question 26. What sum will amount to ₹ 2782.50 in 2 years at compound interest, if the rates are 5% and 6% for the successive years?

Answer:

It is given that

Amount (A) = ₹ 2782.50

Rate of interest for two successive years = 5% and 6%

We know that

A = P (1 + r/100)n

Substituting the values

2782.50 = P (1 + 5/100) (1 + 6/100)

By further calculation

2782.50 = P × 21/20 × 53/50

So we get

P = 2782.50 × 20/21 × 50/53

Multiply and divide by 100

P = 278250/100 × 20/21 × 50/53

P = ₹ 2500

Hence, the principal is ₹ 2500.

Question 27. A sum of money is invested at compound interest payable annually. The interest in two successive years is ₹ 225 and ₹ 240. Find:

(i) the rate of interest

(ii) the original sum

(iii) the interest earned in the third year.

Answer :

It is given that

Interest for the first year = ₹ 225

Interest for the second year = ₹ 240

So the difference = 240 – 225 = ₹ 15

Here ₹ 15 is the interest on ₹ 225 for 1 year

(i) Rate = (SI × 100)/ (P × t)

Substituting the values

= (15 × 100)/ (225 × 1)

So we get

= 20/3

= 6 2/3% p.a.

(ii) We know that

Sum = (SI × 100)/ (R × t)

Substituting the values

= (225 × 100)/ (20/3 × 1)

It can be written as

= (225 × 100 × 3)/ (20 × 1)

So we get

= 225 × 15

= ₹ 3375

(iii) Here

Amount after second year = 225 + 240 + 3375 = ₹ 3840

So the interest for the third year = Prt/100

Substituting the values

= (3840 × 20 × 1)/ (100 × 3)

= ₹ 256

CI = A – P

Substituting the values

= 441/4 – 100

= ₹ 41/4

So the difference between CI and SI = 41/4 – 10 = ₹ ¼

If the difference is ₹ ¼ then sum = ₹ 100

If the difference is ₹ 25 then sum = (100 × 4)/ 1 × 25 = ₹ 10000

Question 29. The difference between the compound interest for a year payable half-yearly and the simple interest on a certain sum of money lent out at 10% for a year is ₹ 15. Find the sum of money lent out.

Answer :

It is given that

Sum = ₹ 100

Rate = 10% p.a. or 5% half yearly

Period = 1 years or 2 half years

We know that

A = P (1 + R/100)n

Substituting the values

= 100 (1 + 5/100)2

By further calculation

= 100 × 21/20 × 21/20

= ₹ 441/4

Here

CI = A – P

Substituting the values

= 441/4 – 100

= ₹ 41/4

SI = PRT/100

Substituting the values

= (100 × 10 × 1)/ 100

= ₹ 10

So the difference between CI and SI = 41/4 – 10 = ₹ ¼

Here if the difference is ₹ ¼ then sum = ₹ 100

If the difference is ₹ 15 then sum = (100 × 4 × 15)/ 1 = ₹ 6000

Question 30. The amount at compound interest which is calculated yearly on a certain sum of money is ₹ 1250 in one year and ₹ 1375 after two years. Calculate the rate of interest.

Answer:

It is given that

Amount after one year = ₹ 1250

Amount after two years = ₹ 1375

Here the difference = 1375 – 1250 = ₹ 125

So ₹ 125 is the interest on ₹ 1250 for 1 year

We know that

Rate of interest = (SI × 100)/ (P × t)

Substituting the values

= (125 × 100)/ (1250 × 1)

= 10%

Question 31. The simple interest on a certain sum for 3 years is ₹ 225 and the compound interest on the same sum at the same rate for 2 years is ₹ 153. Find the rate of interest and the principal.

Answer:

It is given that

SI for 3 years = ₹ 225

SI for 2 years = (225 × 2)/ 3 = ₹ 150

CI for 2 years = ₹ 153

So the difference = 153 – 150 = ₹ 3

Here ₹ 3 is interest on one year i.e. ₹ 75 for one year

We know that

Rate = (SI × 100)/ (P × t)

Substituting the values

= (3 × 100)/ (75 × 1)

= 4%

SI for 3 years = ₹ 225

Rate = 4% p.a.

So principal = (SI × 100)/ (R × t)

Substituting the values

= (225 × 100)/ (4 × 3)

= ₹ 1875

Question 32. Find the difference between compound interest on ₹ 8000 for 1 ½ years at 10% p.a. when compounded annually and semi-annually.

Answer :

It is given that

Principal (P) = ₹ 8000

Rate = 10% p.a. or 5% half-yearly

Period = 1 ½ years or 3 half years

Case 1 – When compounded annually

A = P (1 + r/100)n

Substituting the values

= 8000 (1 + 10/100) (1 + 5/100)

By further calculation

= 8000 × 11/10 × 21/20

= ₹ 9240

We know that

CI = A – P

Substituting the values

= 9240 – 8000

= ₹ 1240

Case 2 – When compounded half-yearly

A = P (1 + r/100)n

Substituting the values

= 8000 (1 + 5/100)3

By further calculation

= 8000 × 21/20 × 21/20 × 21/20

= ₹ 9261

We know that

CI = A – P

Substituting the values

= 9261 – 8000

= ₹ 1261

Here the difference between two CI = 1261 – 1240 = ₹ 21

Question 33. A sum of money is lent out at compound interest for two years at 20% p.a., CI being reckoned yearly. If the same sum of money is lent out at compound interest at same rate percent per annum, CI being reckoned half-yearly, it would have fetched ₹ 482 more by way of interest. Calculate the sum of money lent out.

Answer :

It is given hat

Sum = ₹ 100

Rate = 20% p.a. or 10% half-yearly

Period = 2 years or 4 half-years

Case 1 – When the interest is reckoned yearly

A = P (1 + r/100)n

Substituting the values

= 100 (1 + 20/100)2

By further calculation

= 100 × 6/5 × 6/5

= ₹ 144

We know that

CI = A – P

Substituting the values

= 144 – 100

= ₹ 44

Case 2 – When the interest is reckoned half-yearly

A = P (1 + r/100)n

Substituting the values

= 100 (1 + 10/100)4

By further calculation

= 100 × 11/10 × 11/10 × 11/10 × 11/10

= ₹ 146.41

We know that

CI = A – P

Substituting the values

= 146.41 – 100

= ₹ 46.41

So the difference between two CI = 46.41 – 44 = ₹ 2.41

If the difference is ₹ 2.41 then sum = ₹ 100

If the difference is ₹ 482 then sum = (100 × 482)/ 2.41

Multiplying and dividing by 100

= (100 × 482 × 100)/ 241

= ₹ 20000

Question 34. A sum of money amounts to ₹ 13230 in one year and to ₹ 13891.50 in 1 ½ years at compound interest, compounded semi-annually. Find the sum and the rate of interest per annum.

Answer:

It is given that

Amount after one year = ₹ 13230

Amount after 1 ½ years = ₹ 13891.50

So the difference = 13891.50 – 13230 = ₹ 661.50

Here ₹ 661.50 is the interest on ₹ 13230 for ½ years

We know that

Rate = (661.50 × 100 × 2)/ (13230 × 1)

Multiplying and dividing by 100

= (66150 × 100 × 2)/ (13230 × 1 × 100)

= 10% p.a.

Here

A = P (1 + r/100)n

Substituting the values

13891.50 = P (1 + 5/100)3

By further calculation

13891.50 = P × 21/20 × 21/20 × 21/20

So we get

P = 13891.50 × 20/21 × 20/21 × 20/21

P = ₹ 12000
