The following question based on compound interest topic of quantitative aptitude

Questions : The difference between compound and simple interest on a certain sum for 3 years at 5% per annum is Rs. 122. The sum is

(a) 10,000

(b) 16,000

(c) 12,000

(d) 15,000

The correct answers to the above question in:

Answer: (b)

Using Rule 6,

Let the difference between CI and SI on a certain sum for 3 years at r % be x,

then the sum v= ${\text"Difference" × (100)^3}/{r^2(300 + r)}$

= ${122 × {100}^3}/{25(300 + 5)}$

= $122000000/{25 × 305}$ = Rs.16000

Question : 1

What is the difference between compound interest on 5,000 for 1 1 2 years at 4% per annum according as the interest is compounded yearly or halfyearly?

a) 4.80

b) 2.04

c) 8.30

d) 3.06

Answer: (d)

Compound Interest (when compounded yearly)

= $5000(1 + 4/100)^(1.5) - 5000$

= $5000(26/25)^(1.5) - 5000$

= 5302.9805 - 5000 = Rs.302.9805

C.I. (When compounded halfyearly).

= $5000(1 + 2/100)^3 - 50000$

= 5306.04 - 5000 = Rs.306.04

Required difference

= Rs.(306.04 - 302.9805)

= Rs.3.059 = Rs.3.06

Question : 2

The difference between the compound interest (compounded annually) and the simple interest on a sum of 1000 at a certain rate of interest for 2 years is 10. The rate of interest per annum is :

a) 12%

b) 5%

c) 10%

d) 6%

Answer: (c)

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

x = Sum$(r/100)^2$

10 = 1000$(r/100)^2$

$(r/100)^2 = 10/1000$

$r/100 = √{1/100} = 1/10$

r = $100/10$ = 10%

Using Rule 6,

Here, C.I. - S.I. = Rs.10, R = ?, T= 2 years, P = Rs.1000

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

10 = 1000$(R/100)^2$

10 = 1000$ × R/100 × R/100$

$R^2$ = 100

R = $√{100}$ = 10%

Question : 3

The difference between compound interest (compounded annually) and simple interest on a certain sum of money at 10% per annum for 2 years is 40. The sum is :

a) 3200

b) 4000

c) 4200

d) 3600

Answer: (b)

Let the principal be x.

Compound interest

= P$[(1 + R/100)^t - 1]$

= $x[(1 + 10/100)^2 - 1]$

= $x[(1.1)^2 - 1]$

= x (1.21 - 1) = 0.21x

SI = ${x × 2 × 10}/100 = x/5 = 0.2x$

According to the question,

0.21x - 0.2x = 40

$0.01x = 40 ⇒ x = 40/{0.01}$ = Rs.4000

Using Rule 6,

Here, C.I. - S.I. = Rs.40, R = 10%, T = 2 years, P = ?

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

40 = P$(10/100)^2$ ⇒ P = Rs.4000

Question : 4

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 : 5

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 : 6

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
