Question 5.
The compound interest on a certain sum of money for 2 years is ₹1331·20 and the simple interest on the same sum for the same period and at the same rate is ₹1280. Find the sum and the rate of interest per annum.
Solution:
C.I. for 2 years = ₹1331·20
and S.l. for 2 years = ₹1280·00
Difference = ₹1331·20 – ₹1280·00
= ₹51·20

Question 8.
In what time will ₹2400 amount to ₹2646 at 10% p.a. compounded semiannually ?
Solution:
Amount (A) = ₹2646
Principal (P) = ₹2400
Rate (r) = 10% p.a. or 5% semi-annually Let period = n half-years
We know that

Question 10.
The population of a city is 320000. If the annual birth rate is 9·2% and the annual death rate is 1·7%, calculate the population of the town after 3 years.
Solution:
Birth rate = 9·2%
and Death rate = 1·7%
∴ Net growth rate = 9·2 – 1·7 = 7·5%
Present population (P) = 320000
Period (n) = 3 years
∴ Population after 3 years (A)

Question 13.
The cost of a washing machine depreciates by ₹720 during the second year and by ₹648 during the third year. Calculate :
(i) the rate of depreciation per annum.
(ii) the original cost of the machine.
