A man invested Rs.16000 at compound interest for 3 years, interest compounded annually. If he got 18522 at the end of 3 years, then the rate of interest is

Answer: (b)

$(1 + r)^3$ = $18522/16000=9261/ 8000=(21/20)^3 = (1+1/20)^3$

∴ Rate of interest = $1/20$=5%

Answer: (b)

Amt =$85000(1+6/100)^3=101236.36$

Question :13

Sudhanshu invested Rs. 15,000 at interest @ 10% p.a for one year. If the interest is compounded every six months what amount will Sudhanshu get at the end of the year?

Question :14

What is the interest received on a principal of Rs. 450 for 2 yea if the interest received on Rs. 1 after four year at the same rate of simple interest is Rs. 0.40?

Answer: (c)

Interest on Rs.1 in 4 years = Rs.0.4

∴ Interest on Rs.100 in 4 years = Rs.40

∴ Interest on Rs.100 in 1 year = Rs.10

∴ Interest=$\text"Principal×Time×Rate"/100$

= ${450×2×10}/100$=Rs.90

Question :15

The simple interest on a certain sum of money for 4 years at 4 per cent per annum exceeds the compound interest on the same sum for 3 years at 5 per cent annum by Rs. 57. Find the sum.

Answer: (c)

Let the sum be x.

Then, ${x × 4 × 4}/{100} - 57 = x [{(1+ {{5}/{100}})^3 -1}]$

or, ${4x}/{25} - 57 = x[{1261}/{8000}]$

or, x $[{4}/{25} - {1261}/{8000}]$= 57

or, x $[{1280 - 1261}/8000]$ = 57

∴ x = ${57 × 8000}/{19}$ = Rs.24000
