1. Mr. Burman opened a savings bank account with Bank of India on 3rd April 2007 with a cash deposit of Rs 5,000/-. Subsequently, he deposited Rs 16,500/- by cheque on 11th April 2007, withdrew Rs 4,000/- on 10th May, paid Rs 3,500 for insurance by cheque on 7th July 2007, deposited Rs. 6,000/- in cash on 9th August 2007 and withdrew Rs 1,500/- on 12th Oct 2007.
(a) Make the entries in his passbook
(b) If he closed the account on 14th December and if the rate of simple interest is 4% pa, then find the amount he received on closing the account.
Solution:-
(a) From the data given in the question,
We have to make the entries in the passbook,
So, the table contains 5 columns. The data in 5 columns are, (i) Date (ii) Particulars (iii) Withdrawals (iv) Deposits (v) Balance.
Where date is the date of transaction, Particular is the details of the transaction, primarily the name, Withdrawal is the amount that has been taken out from the account, Deposit is the amount that has been given to the account, balance is the net amount remaining in the account after subtracting or adding the amount as applicable.
Date | Particular | Withdrawals | Deposits | Balance |
03.04.2007 | By Cash | 5,000.00 | 5,000.00 | |
11.04.2007 | By Cheque | 16,500.00 | 21,500.00 | |
10.05.2007 | To Self | 4,000.00 | 17,500.00 | |
07.07.2007 | By Cheque | 3,500.00 | 14,000.00 | |
09.08.2007 | By Cash | 6,000.00 | 20,000.00 | |
12.10.2007 | To Self | 1,500.00 | 18,500.00 |
(b) As per the condition given in the question,
If he closed the account on 14th December and if the rate of simple interest is 4% pa. Then we have to find the amount he received on closing the account.
Given, June, September and November months where no transactions were made, but the bank will give interest based on the amount which is reflected in the last month.
Months | Minimum balance between the 10th day and the last day |
April | 5,000 |
May | 17,500 |
June | 17,500 |
July | 14,000 |
August | 20,000 |
September | 20,000 |
October | 18,500 |
November | 18,500 |
Therefore, the total principal for the end of November = ₹ 1,31,000
Interest = (1,31,000 × 4 × 1)/(100 × 12)
= ₹ 437
So, while closing the account,
Mr. Burman will get = principal + interest, which amounts to
= ₹ 18,500 + ₹ 437
= ₹ 18,937
2. Ms. Chitra opened a savings bank account with SBI on 05.04.2007 with a cheque deposit of Rs 11,000/. Subsequently, she took out Rs 3,200/- on 12.05.2007, deposited a cheque of Rs. 8,800/- on 03.06.2007 and paid Rs 2,000/- by cheque on 18.06.2007.
(a) Make the entries in her passbook
(b) If the rate of simple interest was 5% pa compounded at the end of March and September, find her balance on 1.04.2008
Solution:-
(a) From the data given in the question,
We have to make the entries in the passbook,
So, the table contains 5 columns. The data in 5 columns are, (i) Date (ii) Particulars (iii) Withdrawals (iv) Deposits (v) Balance.
Where, Date is the date of transaction, Particular is the details of the transaction, primarily the name, Withdrawal is the amount that has been taken out from the account, Deposit is the amount that has been given to the account, balance is the net amount remaining in the account after subtracting or adding the amount as applicable.
Date | Particular | Withdrawals | Deposits | Balance |
05.04.2007 | By Cheque | 11,000.00 | 11,000.00 | |
12.05.2007 | To Self | 3,200.00 | 7,800.00 | |
03.06.2007 | By Cheque | 8,800.00 | 16,600.00 | |
18.06.2007 | To Cheque | 2,000.00 | 14,000.00 |
(b) As per the condition given in the question,
If the rate of simple interest was 5% pa compounded at the end of March and September, find her balance on 1.04.2008
Then we have to find her balance on 1.04.2008.
Months | Minimum balance between the 10th day and the last day | Minimum balance in nearest multiple of 10 |
2007, April | 11,000 | 11,000 |
May | 7,800 | 7,800 |
June | 14,600 | 14,600 |
July | 14,600 | 14,600 |
August | 14,600 | 14,600 |
September | 14,600 | 14,600 |
October | 14,600 + 322 = 14,922 | 14,920 |
November | 14,922 | 14,920 |
December | 14,922 | 14,920 |
2008, January | 14,922 | 14,920 |
February | 14,922 | 14,920 |
March | 14,922 | 14,920 |
Therefore, the total principal for the end of September 2007,
= ₹ 11,000 + ₹ 7,800 + ₹(14,600 × 4)
= ₹ 77,200
Interest at the end of September 2007 = (77,200 × 5 × 1)/(100 × 12)
= ₹ 321.66
So, interest = ₹ 322
Then, again principal at the end of March 2008 = 14920 × 6
= ₹ 89520
Interest at the end of March 2008 = (89520 × 5 × 1)/(100 × 12)
= ₹ 373
Therefore, Account balance as on 01.04.2008 = ₹ 14920 + ₹ 373
= ₹ 15,293

Months | Minimum balance between the 10th day and the last day |
January | 10,700.00 |
February | 5,400.00 |
March | 24,600.00 |
Therefore, the total principal at the end of March = ₹ 40,700
Interest = (40,700 × 6 × 1)/(100 × 12)
= ₹ 203.50
Hence interest = ₹ 204

9. Mrs. Chhabra deposits Rs 500 per month in a recurring deposit account for 4 years at a simple interest rate of 6% pa.
(a) Find the maturity value of the deposit.
(b) Find the total interest she will earn after 2 years
Solution:-
From the question, it is given that,
Mrs. Chhabra deposits ₹ 500 per month in a recurring deposit
Period = 4 years
We know that, 1 year = 12 Months
So, 4 years = 4 × 12 = 48 Months
Rate = 6 % pa
Then, Money deposited = Monthly value × Number of Months
= ₹ 500 × 48
= ₹ 24,000 … [equation i]
So, total principal for 1 month = [500 × (48(48 + 1))]/2
= ₹ 5,88,000
Now, interest = (6 × 5,88,000)/(12 × 100)
= ₹ 2,940 … [equation ii]
To get the maturity amount, we have to add both equation (i) and equation (ii)
= ₹ 24,000 + ₹ 2,940
= ₹ 26,940
Therefore, the maturity amount is ₹ 26,940
10. Mrs. Khandelkar invests Rs 900 every month in a recurring deposit account for a period of 3 years at a simple interest rate of 8% pa.
(a) Find the total interest she will earn at the end of the period.
(b) Find the maturity value of her deposits.
Solution:-
From the question, it is given that,
Mrs. Khandelkar invests ₹ 900 every month in a recurring deposit account.
Period = 3 years
We know that, 1 year = 12 Months
So, 3 years = 3 × 12 = 36 Months
Rate = 8 % pa
Then, Money deposited = Monthly value × Number of Months
= ₹ 900 × 36
= ₹ 32,400 … [equation i]
So, total principal for 1 month = [900 × (36(36 + 1))]/2
= ₹ 5,99,400
Now, interest = (8 × 5,99,400)/(12 × 100)
= ₹ 3,996 … [equation ii]
To get the maturity amount, we have to add both equation (i) and equation (ii)
= ₹ 32,400 + ₹ 3,996
= ₹ 36,396
Therefore, the Maturity amount is ₹ 36,396
11. Mr. Patel deposits Rs 2,250 per month in a recurring deposit account for a period of 3 years. At the time of maturity, he gets Rs 90,990.
(a) Find the rate of simple interest per annum.
(b) Find the total interest earned by Mr. Patel.
Solution:-
From the question it is given that,
Mr. Patel deposits ₹ 2,250 per month in a recurring deposit account.
Period = 3 years
We know that, 1 year = 12 Months
So, 3 years = 3 × 12 = 36 Months
Maturity = ₹ 90,990
Rate = R % pa
Then, Money deposited = Monthly value × Number of Months
= ₹ 2,250 × 36
= ₹ 81,000
Interest get for this period = Maturity amount – Amount deposited
= 90,990 – 81,000
= ₹ 9,990
So, total principal for 1 month = [2,250 × (36(36 + 1))]/2
= ₹ 14,98,500
Now, interest = (R × 14,98,500)/(12 × 100)
9,990 = (R × 14,98,500)/(12 × 100)
R = (9,990 × 12 × 100)/(14,98,500)
R = 8%
12. Mr. Menon deposits Rs 1,200 per month in a cumulative deposit account for a period of 5 years. After the end of the period, he will receive Rs 88,470.
(a) Find the rate of the interest per annum.
(b) Find the total interest that Mr. Menon will earn.
Solution:-
From the question, it is given that,
Mr. Menon deposits Rs 1,200 per month in a cumulative deposit account.
Period = 5 years
We know that, 1 year = 12 Months
So, 5 years = 5 × 12 = 60 Months
Maturity = ₹ 88,470
Rate = R % pa
Then, Money deposited = Monthly value × Number of Months
= ₹ 1,200 × 60
= ₹ 72,000
Interest get for this period = Maturity amount – Amount deposited
= 88,470 – 72,000
= ₹ 16,470
So, total principal for 1 month = [1,200 × (60(60 + 1))]/2
= ₹ 21,96,000
Now, interest = (R × 21,96,000)/(12 × 100)
16,470 = (R × 21,96,000)/(12 × 100)
R = (16,470 × 12 × 100)/(21,96,000)
R = 9%
13. Aarushi has a recurring deposit account for 2 years at 6% pa. She receives Rs 1,125 as interest on maturity.
(a) Find the monthly instalment amount.
(b) Find the maturity amount.
Solution:-
From the question, it is given that,
Aarushi has a recurring deposit account for 2 years.
Period = 2 years
We know that, 1 year = 12 Months
So, 2 years = 2 × 12 = 24 Months
Rate = 6 % pa
Then, Money deposited = Monthly value × Number of Months
= P × 24
= ₹ 24P
So, total principal for 1 month = [P × (24(24 + 1))]/2
= ₹ 300P
Now, interest = (Total principal for 1 month × R)/(12 × 100)
₹ 1,125 = (300P × 6)/(12 × 100)
P = (1,125 × 12 × 100)/(300 × 6)
P = ₹ 750
For getting maturity amount = (P × 24) + Interest
= (750 × 24) + 1125
Therefore, the maturity amount is ₹ 19,125
14. Mr. Mohan has a cumulative deposit account for 3 years at 7% interest pa. She receives Rs 8,547 as a maturity amount after 3 years.
(a) Find the monthly deposit.
(b) Find the total interest receivable after maturity.
Solution:-
From the question, it is given that,
Mr. Mohan has a cumulative deposit account for 3 years.
Period = 3 years
We know that, 1 year = 12 Months
So, 3 years = 3 × 12 = 36 Months
Rate = 7 % pa
Maturity amount = ₹ 8,547
Then, Money deposited = Monthly value × Number of Months
= P × 36
= ₹ 36P
So, total principal for 1 month = [P × (36(36 + 1))]/2
= ₹ 666P
Now, interest = (Total principal for 1 month × R)/(12 × 100)
₹ 8,547 – 36P= (666P × 7)/(12 × 100)
₹ 8,547 – 36P = 3.885P
₹ 8,547 = 3.885P + 36P
₹ 8,547 = 39.885p
P = ₹ 8,547/39.885
P = ₹ 214.3
Interest amount = 8547 – 36P
Substitute the value of P we get,
Interest amount = 8547 – (36 × 214.3)
= ₹ 832
15. Mr. Banerjee opens a recurring deposit account for Rs 3,000 per month at 9% simple interest pa. On maturity, he gets Rs. 1,70,460. Find the period for which he continued with the account.
Solution:-
From the question, it is given that,
Mr. Banerjee opens a recurring deposit account for ₹ 3,000 per month.
Period = t
Rate = 9% pa
Maturity amount = ₹ 1,70,460
Then, Money deposited = Monthly value × Number of Months
= 300 × t
= ₹ 3000t
So, total principal for 1 month = [3000 × (t(t + 1))]/2
= 1500 (t2 + t)
= 1500t2 + 1500t
Now, interest = (Total principal for 1 month × R)/(12 × 100)
₹ 1,70,460 – 3000t= ((1500t2 + 1500t) × 9)/(12 × 100)
₹ 1,70,460 – 3000t = (45t2 + 45t)/4
By cross multiplication, we get,
681840 – 12000t = 45t2 + 45t
Then transposing, we get,
45t2 + 45t + 12000t – 681840 = 0
45t2 + 12045t – 681840 = 0
45t2 – 2160t + 14205t – 681840 = 0
By taking out common, we get,
45t(t – 48) + 14205 (t – 48) = 0
(t – 48) (45t + 14205) = 0
Then,
t – 48 = 0, 45t + 14205 = 0
t = 48, t = -14205/45
So, the number of months cannot be negative,
Therefore, t = 48 months, i.e. 4 years.
