Question : 1

The difference between simple and compound interests on a sum of money at 4% per annum for 2 years is 8. The sum is

a) 5,000

b) 400

c) 4,000

d) 800

Answer: (a)

Using Rule 6,

Let the sum be x.

When difference between the compound interest and simple interest on a certain sum of money for 2 years at r% rate is x, then the sum is given by:

Sum = Difference × $(100/\text"Rate")^2$

= Rs.8 × $(100/4)^2$

= Rs.8 × 25 × 25 = Rs.5000

Question : 2

If the difference between the compound interest, compounded every six months, and the simple interest on a certain sum of money at the rate of 12% per annum for one year is 36, the sum is :

a) 9,000

b) 10,000

c) 15,000

d) 12,000

Answer: (b)

Easy Trick

As the interest was compounded half-yearly,

we changed r to $r/2$ and t to 2t.

T = 1 year & R 6%

Sum = ${36 × 100 × 100}/{6 × 6}$ = Rs.10000

Question : 3

The difference between the compound interest and simple interest on a certain sum for 2 years at 10% per annum is 300. Find the sum.

a) 30,500

b) 31,000

c) 30,000

d) 31,500

Answer: (c)

Using Rule 6,

Difference = ${PR^2}/10000$

300 = ${P × 10 × 10}/10000$

P = 300 × 100 = Rs.30000

Question : 4

The difference between compound interest and simple interest of a sum for 2 years at 8 per cent is 768. The sum is

a) 1,70,000

b) 1,00,000

c) 1,20,000

d) 1,10,000

Answer: (c)

Using Rule 6,

Simple Approach

Sum = (CI - SI)$(100/r)^2$

= 768 × $(100/8)^2$ = Rs.1,20,000

Question : 5

On a certain sum of money, the difference between the compound interest for a year, payable half-yearly, and the simple interest for a year is 180. If the rate of interest in both the cases is 10%, then the sum is

a) 54,000

b) 60,000

c) 62,000

d) 72,000

Answer: (d)

If the interest is compounded half yearly,

C.I. = P$[(1 + R/100)^T - 1]$

= P$[(1 + 5/100)^2 - 1]$

= P$[(21/20)^2 - 1] = {41P}/400$

S.I. = ${P × R × T}/100 = {P × 10}/100 = P/10$

${41P}/400 - P/10$ = 180

${41P - 40P}/400$ = 180

$P/400 = 180$

P = Rs.72000

Using Rule 6,

Here, C.I. - S.I. = Rs.180

Interest is compounded half yearly

R = $10/5$ = 5%, T = 2 years

C.I. - S.I. = P$(R/100)^2$

180 = P$(5/100)^2$

P = 180 × 20 × 20 ⇒ P = Rs.72000

Question : 6

On what sum does the difference between the compound interest and the simple interest for 3 years at 10% is 31 ?

a) 1000

b) 1500

c) 1100

d) 1200

Answer: (a)

Let the sum be x

r = 10%, n = 3 years

S.I. = ${x × r × n}/100$

S.I.= ${x × 10 × 3}/100 = 3/10x$

C.I.= $[(1 + r/100)^n - 1]x$

= $[(1 + 10/100)^3 - 1]x$

= $[(11/10)^3 - 1]x$

$(1331/1000 - 1)x = 331/1000x$

$331/1000x - 3/10x$ = 31

or $({331 - 300})/1000x = 31$

or $31/1000x$ = 31

or x = 1000

Sum = Rs.1000

Using Rule 6,

Here, C.I. - S.I. = Rs.31, R = 10%, T = 3 years, P = ?

C.I. - S.I. = P × $(R/100)^2 × (3 + R/100)$

31 = P × $(10/100)^2(3 + 10/100)$

31 = P × $1/100 × 31/10$ ⇒ P = Rs.1000
