Question : 1
The compound interest on Rs.10,000 in 2 years at 4% per annum, the interest being compounded half-yearly, is :
a) Rs.828. 82
b) Rs.636.80
c) Rs.912. 86
d) Rs.824.32
Answer »Answer: (d)
Using Rule 1,
A = 10,000$(1 + 2/100)^4$
=10,000$(51/50)^4$ =10824.3216
Interest = 10,824.3216 - 10,000
= Rs.824.32
Question : 2
A man borrows Rs.21000 at 10% compound interest. How much he has to pay annually at the end of each year, to settle his loan in two years ?
a) Rs.12300
b) Rs.12000
c) Rs.12200
d) Rs.12100
Answer »Answer: (d)
If each instalment be x, then Present worth of first instalment
= $x/{1 + 10/100} = {10x}/11$
= Present worth of second instalment
= $x/(1 + 10/100)^2 = 100/121x$
$10/11x + 100/121x$ = 21000
${110x + 100x}/121 = 21000$
210x = 21000 × 121
$x = {21000 × 121}/210$ = Rs.12100
Using Rule 9,If a sum 'P' is borrowed at r% annual compound interest which is to be paid in 'n' equal annual installments including interest, then(i) For n = 2, Each annual installment= $p/{(100/{100 + r}) + (100/{100 + r})^2$(ii) For n = 3, Each annual installment= $p/{(100/{100 + r}) + (100/{100 + r})^2 + (100/{100 + r})^3$
Here, n = 2, p = Rs.21000, r = 10%
Each annual instalment
= $p/{(100/{100 + r}) + (100/{100 + r})^2$
= $21000/{100/110 + (100/110)^2}$
= $21000/{100/110 + 10000/12100}$
= $21000/{10/11 + 100/121}$
= $21000/{110 + 100} × 121$
= $21000/210 × 121$ = 12100
Question : 3
A certain sum, invested at 4% per annum compound interest, compounded half yearly, amounts to Rs.7,803 at the end of one year. The sum is
a) Rs.7,700
b) Rs.7,000
c) Rs.7,500
d) Rs.7,200
Answer »Answer: (c)
Using Rule 1,
Let the sum be P.
As, the interest is compounded half-yearly,
R = 2%, T = 2 half years
A = P$(1 + R/100)^T$
7803 = P$(1 + 2/100)2$
7803 = $(1 + 1/50)^2$
7803 = P$× 51/50 × 51/50$
P = ${7803 × 50 × 50}/{51 × 51}$ = Rs.7500
Question : 4
An amount of Rs.6,000 lent at 5% per annum compound interest for 2 years will become
a) Rs.6,615
b) Rs.600
c) Rs.6,610
d) Rs.6,600
Answer »Answer: (a)
Using Rule 1,
A = P$(1 + R/100)^T$
= 6000$(1 + 5/100)^2$
= 6000 × $21/20 × 21/20$ = Rs.6615
Question : 5
The sum of money that yields a compound interest of Rs.420 during the second year at 5% p.a is
a) Rs.21,000
b) Rs.4,000
c) Rs.8,000
d) Rs.42,000
Answer »Answer: (c)
Using Rule 1,
CI = P$[(1 + R/100)^T –1] - {PR}/100$
420 = P$[(1 + 5/100)^2 - 1] - {P × 5}/100$
420 = P$[(21/20)^2 - 1] - {5P}/100$
420 = ${41P}/400 - {5P}/100 = {21P}/400$
P = ${420 × 400}/21$ = Rs.8000
Question : 6
A principal of Rs.10,000, after 2 years compounded annually, the rate of interest being 10% per annum during the first year and 12% per annum during the second year (in rupees) will amount to :
a) Rs.11,320
b) Rs.12,000
c) Rs.12,500
d) Rs.12,320
Answer »Answer: (d)
Using Rule 3,
A = P$(1 + r_1/100)(1 + r_2/100)$
= 10000$(1 + 10/100)(1 + 12/100)$
= 10000 × $11/10 × 28/25$ = Rs.12320
