Question 1.
Nikita invests ₹ 6,000 for two years at a certain rate of interest compounded annually. At end of first year it amounts to ₹ 6,720. Calculate:
(i) the rate of interest
(ii) the amount at the end of the second year.
Solution:
Nikita invests (P) = ₹ 6000
Period (T) = two years
and after 1 year she got back ₹ 6720
∴ Interest for 1 year = ₹ (6720 – 6000) = ₹ 720
(i) ∴ Rate of interest compounded annually
= \(\frac{720 \times 100}{6000}\) = 12%
(ii) Interest at end of second year
\(\frac{6720 \times 12 \times 1}{100}\)
∴ Amount at end of second year = ₹ (6720 + 806.40) = ₹ 7,526.40
Question 2.
Rohit borrows ₹ 86,000 from Arun for two years at 5% per annum simple interest. He immediately lends out this money to Akshay at 5% compound interest compounded annually for the same period. Calculate Rohit’s profit in the transaction at the end of two years.
Solution:
Rohit borrows ₹ 86,000 for 2 years at simple interest at 5% per annum
∴ Interest = \(\frac{86,000 \times 2 \times 5}{100}\) = ₹ 8600
Rohit gets ₹ 8600 in 2 years as simple interest Rohit lends money to Akshay at 5% p.a. compounded annually for 2 years
Amount he gets back after 2 years is
A = P \(\left(1+\frac{r}{100}\right)^n=86,000\left(1+\frac{5}{100}\right)^2\)
= 86,000 \(\left(1+\frac{1}{20}\right)^2\) [t = 2, r = 5%]
A = 86,000 x \(\frac { 21 }{ 20 }\) x \(\frac { 21 }{ 20 }\)
A = ₹ 94,815
C.I. = A – P
= 94,815 – 86,000
C.I. = ₹ 8815
Rohit’s profit in the transaction at the end of two years = ₹(8815 – 8600) = ₹ 215
Question 3.
Mr. Kumar borrowed ₹ 15,000 for two years. The rate of interest for the two successive years are 8% and 10% respectively. If he repays ₹ 6,200 at the end of the first year, find the outstanding amount at the end of the second year.
Solution:
For 1st year :
S.I = \(\frac{15000 \times 8 \times 1}{100}\) = ₹ 1200
Amount = ₹ (15000 + 1200) = ₹ 16200
Remaining amount after repayment
= ₹ (16200 – 6200) = ₹ 10000
For 2nd year :
P = ₹ 10000
S.I.= \(\frac{10000 \times 10 \times 1}{100}\) = ₹ 1000
Amount at the end of 2nd year = ₹ 10000 + ₹ 1000 = ₹ 11000
Question 4.
In what period of time will ₹ 12,000 yield ₹ 3,972 as compound interest at 10% per annum, if compounded on an yearly basis?
Solution:
P = ₹ 12000
A = ₹ 12000 + ₹ 3972 = ₹ 15972
R = 10% p.a., n = ?
Comparing,
n = 3
∴ Time = 3 years
Question 5.
On what sum of money will the difference between the compound interest and simple interest for 2 years be equal to ₹ 25 if the rate of interest charged for both is 5%?
Solution:
Difference between C.I. and S.l. = ₹25
Let principal (P) = ₹ 100
Rate (R) = 5% p.a. and period (n) = 2 years
Then S.I. = \(\frac{\mathrm{PRT}}{100}=\frac{100 \times 5 \times 2}{100}\) = ₹ 10
and when interest is compounded annually
A = P\(\left(1+\frac{\mathrm{R}}{100}\right)^n=100\left(1+\frac{5}{100}\right)^2\)
= ₹100 x \(\frac{21}{20} \times \frac{21}{20}=₹ \frac{441}{4}\)
and C.I. = A – P = ₹ \(\frac { 441 }{ 4 }\) – 100
= ₹\(\frac{441-400}{4}=₹ \frac{41}{4}\)
Now difference between C.I. and S.l.
= ₹\(\frac { 41 }{ 4 }\) – 10
= ₹ \(\frac { 41-40 }{ 4 }\) = ₹\(\frac { 1 }{ 4 }\)
If difference is ₹\(\frac { 1 }{ 4 }\), then principal = ₹ 100
and if difference is ₹ 1, then principal
= ₹\(\frac { 100×4 }{ 1 }\)
and if difference is ₹ 25, the principal
= \(\frac{100 \times 4 \times 25}{1}\) = ₹ 10000
Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs)
Question 6.
A sum of ₹ 12,000 deposited at compound interest becomes double after 5 years. After 20 years, it will become
(a) ₹ 48,000
(b) ₹ 96,000
(c) ₹ 1,90,000
(d) ₹ 1,92,000
Solution:
(d) ₹ 1,92,000
Sum (P) = ₹ 12000
∴ A = ₹ 12000 x 2 = ₹ 24000
Period (n) = 5 years
∴ A = P\(\left(1+\frac{\mathrm{R}}{100}\right)^n \Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{A}}{\mathrm{P}}=\left(1+\frac{\mathrm{R}}{100}\right)^n\)
⇒ \(\frac{24000}{12000}=\left(1+\frac{\mathrm{R}}{100}\right)^5 \Rightarrow 2=\left(1+\frac{\mathrm{R}}{100}\right)^5\)
∴ \(\left(1+\frac{R}{100}\right)^{20}\) = 24 = 16
Now, amount after 20 years
= P\(\left(1+\frac{\mathrm{R}}{100}\right)^{20}=12000\left[\left(1+\frac{\mathrm{R}}{100}\right)^5\right]^4\)
= ₹ 12000 x (2)4 = ₹ 12000 x 16
= ₹ 1,92,000
Question 7.
The difference between C.I. (compound interest) and S.I. (simple interest) on a sum of ₹ 4,000 for 2 years at 5% p.a. payable yearly is
(a) ₹ 20
(b) ₹ 10
(c) ₹ 50
(d) ₹ 60
Solution:
(b) ₹ 10
Sum (P) = ₹ 4000
Rate (R) = 5% p.a.
Period (n) = 2 years
∴ S.I = \(\frac{\mathrm{PRT}}{100}=\frac{4000 \times 5 \times 2}{100}\) = ₹ 400
and when interest is compounded annually,
then A = \(\left(1+\frac{\mathrm{R}}{100}\right)^n \Rightarrow 4000\left(1+\frac{5}{100}\right)^2\)
= ₹ 4000 x \(\frac { 21 }{ 20 }\) x \(\frac { 21 }{ 20 }\) = ₹ 4410
and C.I. = A – P = ₹ 4410 – 4000 = ₹ 410
and difference between C.I. and S.I.
= ₹ 410 – 400 = ₹ 10
Question 8.
If the difference between simple interest and compound interest on a certain sum of money for 3 years at 10% per annum is ₹ 31, the sum is
(a) ₹ 500
(b) ₹ 50
(c) ₹ 1000
(d) ₹ 1250
Solution:
(c) ₹ 1000
Difference in C.I. and S.I. = ₹ 31
Let principal (P) = ₹ 100
Rate (R) = 10% p.a.
Period (n) = 3 years
∴ S.I. = \(\frac{\text { PRT }}{100}=₹ \frac{100 \times 10 \times 3}{100}\) = ₹ 30
When interest is compounded annually then
A = P\(\left(1+\frac{\mathrm{R}}{100}\right)^n\)
= 100\(\left(1+\frac{10}{100}\right)^3=₹ 100 \times \frac{11}{10} \times \frac{11}{10} \times \frac{11}{10}\)
= ₹ \(\frac { 1331 }{ 10 }\)
∴ C.I. = A – P = ₹ \(\frac{1331-100}{10}=₹ \frac{331}{10}\)
and difference between C.I. and S.I.
= ₹\(\frac{1331-100}{10}=₹ \frac{331}{10}\)
If difference is ₹\(\frac { 31 }{ 10 }\) then principal = ₹ 100
If difference is ₹ 1 then principal = ₹\(\frac { 100×10 }{ 31 }\)
and if difference is ₹31, then principal
= \(\frac { 100×10×31 }{ 31 }\) = ₹1000
Question 9.
On what sum of money will compound interest for 2 years at 5% per annum amount to ₹164?
(a) ₹ 1600
(b) ₹ 1500
(c) ₹ 1400
(d) ₹ 1700
Solution:
(a) ₹ 1600
C.I. = ₹ 164
Rate = 5% p.a.
and period (n) = 2 years
Let principal (P) = ₹ 100
Then A = P\(\left(1+\frac{\mathrm{R}}{100}\right)^n\)
= ₹\(\left(1+\frac{5}{100}\right)^2=₹ 100 \times \frac{21}{20} \times \frac{21}{20}\)
= ₹ \(\frac { 441 }{ 4 }\)
and C.I. = A – P
= ₹ \(\frac { 441 }{ 4 }\) – 100 = ₹ \(\frac { 41 }{ 4 }\)
If C.I. is ₹ \(\frac { 41 }{ 4 }\)then principal = ₹ 100
If C.I. is ₹ 1 then principal = ₹ \(\frac { 100×4 }{ 41 }\)
and if C.L is ₹ 164, then principal
= ₹ \(\frac { 100×4×164 }{ 41 }\)
= ₹ 1600
Question 10.
A sum of money becomes eight times in 3 years. If the rate is compounded annually, in how much time will the same amount at the same compound rate becomes sixteen times?
(a) 6 years
(b) 4 years
(c) 8 years
(d) 5 years
Solution:
(b) 4 years
Let principal (P) = ₹ 100
Then amount (A) = ₹ 100 x 8 = ₹ 800
Period (n) = 3 years
∴ A = P\(\left(1+\frac{\mathrm{R}}{100}\right)^n \Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{A}}{\mathrm{P}}=\left(1+\frac{\mathrm{R}}{100}\right)^n\)
⇒ \(\frac{800}{100}=\left(1+\frac{\mathrm{R}}{100}\right)^3\)
⇒ \(\left(1+\frac{\mathrm{R}}{100}\right)^3=8=2^3 \Rightarrow\left(1+\frac{\mathrm{R}}{100}\right)\) = 2 … (i)
In second case,
P = ₹ 100
Then A = ₹ 100 x 16 = 1600
∴ \(\frac { A }{ P }\) = \(\left(1+\frac{\mathrm{R}}{100}\right)^n \Rightarrow \frac{1600}{100}=\left(1+\frac{\mathrm{R}}{100}\right)^n\)
⇒ \(\left(1+\frac{\mathrm{R}}{100}\right)^n\) = 16
⇒ (2)n = 24 [From (i)]
Comparing,
n = 4
∴ Period = 4 years
