The following question based on compound interest topic of quantitative aptitude
(a) 12%
(b) 5%
(c) 10%
(d) 6%
The correct answers to the above question in:
Answer: (b)
S.I. on Rs.2400 for 1 year
= Rs.(2, 520 - 2, 400) = Rs.120
Rate = $\text"S.I. × 100"/ \text"Principal × Time"$%
= ${120 × 100}/{2400 × 1}$ = 5%
Using Rule 7(i),
Here, b - a = 4 - 3 = 1
B = Rs.2520, A = Rs.2400
R% = $(B/A - 1)$ × 100%
= $[2520/2400 - 1] × 100%$
= $[{2520 - 2400}/2400] × 100%$
= $120/2400 × 100%$ = 5%

Question : 1
A sum becomes Rs.4500 after two years and Rs.6750 after four years at compound interest. The sum is
a) Rs.3050
b) Rs.4000
c) Rs.3000
d) Rs.2500
Answer »Answer: (c)
P$(1 + r/100)^2$ = 4500 ...(i)
P$(1 + r/100)^4$ = 6750 .....(ii)
On dividing equation (ii) by equation (i), we get
$(1 + r/100)^2 = 6750/4500$
From equation (i),
P × $6750/4500$ = 4500
P = ${4500 × 4500}/6750$ = Rs.3,000
Using Rule 7(ii),
Here, b - a = 4 - 2 = 2
B = Rs.6750, A = Rs.4500
R% = $[(B/A)^{1/2} - 1]$ × 100%
= $[(6750/4500)^{1/2} - 1] × 100%$
= $[(3/2)^{1/2} - 1] ×$ 100%
$(3/2)^{1/2} = 1 + R/100$
$3/2 = (1 + R/100)^2$
A = P$(1 + R/100)^2$
4500 = P × $3/2$ ⇒ P = Rs.3000
Question : 2
On a certain sum of money, the simple interest for 2 years is Rs.350 at the rate of 4% per annum. It was invested at compound interest at the same rate for the same duration as before, how much more interest would be earned?
a) Rs.35
b) Rs.3.50
c) Rs.14
d) Rs.7
Answer »Answer: (d)
Principal = $\text"S.I. × 100"/ \text"Time × Rate"$
= ${350 × 100}/{2 × 4}$ = Rs.4375
C.I. = P$[(1 + R/100)^T - 1]$
= 4375$[(1 + 4/100)^2 - 1]$
= 4375$[(1 + 1/25)^T - 1]$
= 4375$[(26/25)^2 - 1]$
= 4375$(676/625 - 1)$
= ${4375 × 51}/625$ = Rs.357
Required difference
= Rs.(357 - 350) = Rs.7
Question : 3
A sum of money is invested at 20% compound interest (compounded annually). It would fetch Rs. 723 more in 2 years if interest is compounded half yearly. The sum is
a) Rs.7,500
b) Rs.15,000
c) Rs.20,000
d) Rs.30,000
Answer »Answer: (d)
Let the principal be Rs. x.
When the interest is compounded annually,
C.I. = P$[(1 + R/100)^T - 1]$
= P$[(1 + 20/100)^2 - 1]$
= P$[(6/5)^2 - 1]$
= P$(36/25 - 1)$ = Rs.${11P}/25$
When the interest is compounded half–yearly,
C.I. = P$[(1 + 10/100)^4 - 1]$
= P$[(11/10)^4 - 1]$
= P$(14641/10000 - 1)$
= Rs.${4641P}/10000$
${4641P}/10000 - {11P}/25$ = 723
${4641P - 4400P}/10000$ = 723
${241P}/10000$ = 723
P = ${723 × 10000}/241$ = Rs.30000
