Exercise 14.2

Q1) Compute the amount and the compound interest in each of the following by using the formulae when:

(i) Principal = Rs 3000, Rate = 5%, Time = 2 years

(ii) Principal = Rs 3000, Rate =18%, Time = 2 years

(iii) Principal = Rs 5000, Rate = 10 paise per rupee per annum, Time = 2 years

(iv) Principal = Rs 2000, Rate = 4 paise per rupee per annum, Time = 3 years

(v) Principal = Rs 12800, Rate = $7\frac{1}{2}$%, Time = 3 years

(vi) Principal =Rs 10000, Rate 20% per annum compounded half-yearly, Time = 2 years

(vii) Principal = Rs 160000, Rate =10 paise per rupee per annum compounded half-yearly, Time = 2 years.

Solution:

Applying the rule A = $P(1+\frac{R}{100})^{n}$ on the given situations, we get:

(i) A = $3000(1+\frac{5}{100})^{2}$ = $3000(1.05)^{2}$ = Rs 3307.5

Now, CI = A – P = Rs 3307.50 – Rs 3000 = Rs. 307.50

(ii) A = $3000(1+\frac{18}{100})^{2}$ = $3000(1.18)^{2}$ = Rs 4177.2

Now, CI = A – P = Rs 4177.20 – Rs 3000 = Rs. 1177.20

(iii) A = $5000(1+\frac{10}{100})^{2}$ = $5000(1.10)^{2}$ = Rs 6050

Now, CI = A – P = Rs 6050 – Rs 5000 = Rs. 1050

(iv) A = $2000(1+\frac{4}{100})^{3}$ = $2000(1.04)^{3}$ = Rs 2249.68

Now, CI = A – P = Rs 2249.68 – Rs 2000 = Rs. 249.68

(v) A = $12800(1+\frac{7.5}{100})^{3}$ = $12800(1.075)^{3}$ = Rs 15901.40

Now, CI = A – P = Rs 15901.40 – Rs 12800 = Rs. 3101.40

(vi) A = $10000(1+\frac{20}{200})^{4}$ = $10000(1.1)^{4}$ = Rs 14641

Now, CI = A – P = Rs 14641 – Rs 10000 = Rs. 4641

(vii) A = $160000(1+\frac{10}{200})^{4}$ = $160000(1.05)^{4}$ = Rs 194481

Now, CI = A – P = Rs 194481 – Rs 160000 = Rs. 34481

Q2) Find the amount of Rs 2400 after 3 years, when the interest is compounded annually at the rate of 20% per annum.

R = 20 % p.a

n = 3 years

We know that amount A at the end of n years at the rate R% per annum when the interest is compounded annually is given by

A = $P(1+\frac{R}{100})^{n}$

A = $2400(1+\frac{20}{100})^{3}$

A = $2400(1.2)^{3}$

A = 4147.20

Thus, the required amount is Rs 4147.20.

A = $P(1+\frac{R}{100})^{n}$

A = $50000(1+\frac{10}{100})^{2}$

A = $50000(1.1)^{2}$

A = Rs 60500

Also,

CI = A – P = Rs 60500 – Rs 50000 = Rs 10500

We know that SI = $\frac{PRT}{100}=\frac{50000\times 10\times 2}{100}$ = Rs 10000

Therefore, Difference between CI and SI = Rs 10500 – Rs 10000 = Rs 500

Q6) Amit borrowed Rs 16000 at $17\frac{1}{2}$% per annum simple interest. On the same day, he lent it to Ashu at the same rate but compounded annually. What does he gain at the end of 2 years?

Solution:

Amount to be paid by Amit:

SI = $\frac{PRT}{100}=\frac{16000\times 17.5\times 2}{100}$ = Rs 5600

Amount gained by Amit:

A = $P(1+\frac{R}{100})^{n}$

A = $16000(1+\frac{17.5}{100})^{2}$

A = $50000(1.175)^{2}$

A = Rs 22090

We know that:

CI = A – P = Rs 22090 – Rs 16000 = Rs 6090

Amit’s gain in the whole transaction = Rs 6090 – Rs 5600 = Rs 490

n = 9 months = 3 quarters

We know that:

A = $P(1+\frac{R}{100})^{n}$

A = $15625(1+\frac{4}{100})^{3}$

A = $15625(1.043)^{3}$

A = Rs 17576

Also, CI = A – P = Rs 17576 – Rs 15625 = Rs 1951

Thus, the required compound interest is Rs 1951.

Q15) Rekha deposited Rs 16000 in a foreign bank which pays interest at the rate of 20% per annum compounded quarterly, find the interest received by Rekha after one year.

Solution:

Given:

P = Rs 16000

R = 20 % p.a

n = 1 year

We know that:

When compounded quarterly, we have:

A = $P(1+\frac{R}{400})^{4n}$

A = $16000(1+\frac{20}{400})^{4}$

A = $16000(1.054)^{4}$

A = Rs 19448.10

Also, CI = A – P = Rs 194448.10 – Rs 16000 = Rs 3448.10

Thus, the interest received by Rekha after one year is Rs 3448.10.

Q16) Find the amount of Rs 12500 for 2 years compounded annually, the rate of interest being 15% for the first year and 16% for the second year.

Solution:

Given:

P = Rs 12500

$R_{1}$ = 15 % p.a

$R_{2}$ = 16 % p.a

Therefore, the amount after two years = $P(1+\frac{R_{1}}{100}\times 1+\frac{R_{2}}{100})$ = $12500(1+\frac{15}{100}\times 1+\frac{16}{100})$ = $12500(1.15\times 1.16)$ = Rs 16675

Thus, the required amount is Rs 16675.

Q17) Ramu borrowed Rs 15625 from a finance company to buy a scooter. If the rate of interest be 16% per annum compounded annually, what payment will he have to make after $2\frac{1}{4}$ years?

Solution:

Given:

P = Rs 15625

R = 16 % p.a

n = $2\frac{1}{4}$

Therefore, Amount after $2\frac{1}{4}$ years = $P(1+\frac{R}{100})^{2}\times (1+\frac{\frac{1}{4}\times R}{100})$

= $15625(1+\frac{16}{100})^{2}\times (1+\frac{\frac{16}{4}}{100})$

= $15625(1+\frac{16}{100})^{2}\times (1+\frac{4}{100})$

= 15625 (1.16)2 (1.04)

= Rs 21866

Thus, the required amount is Rs 21866.

Q18) What will Rs 125000 amount to at the rate of 6%, if the interest is calculated after every four months?

Solution:

Because interest is calculated after every 3 months, it is compounded quarterly.

Given:

P = Rs 125000

R = 6 % p.a = $\frac{6}{4}$ % quarterly = 1.5 % quarterly

n = 3

So, A = $P(1+\frac{R}{100})^{n}$

A = $125000(1+\frac{1.5}{100})^{3}$

A = $125000(1.015)^{3}$

A = Rs 132670 approx

Thus, the required amount is Rs 132670.

Q19) Find the compound interest at the rate of 5% for three years on that principle which in three years at the rate of 5% per annum gives Rs 12000 as simple interest.

Solution:

$P=\frac{SI\times 100}{RT}$

According to the given values, we have:

P = $\frac{12000\times 100}{5\times 3}$ = 80000

The principal is to be compounded annually.

So, A = $P(1+\frac{R}{100})^{n}$

A = $80000(1+\frac{5}{100})^{3}$

A = $80000(1.05)^{3}$ => A = Rs 92610

Now, CI = A – P = 92610 – 80000 = Rs 12610

Thus, the required compound interest is Rs 12610.

Q20) A sum of money was lent for 2 years at 20% compounded annually. If the interest is payable half-yearly instead of yearly, then the interest is Rs 482 more. Find the sum.

Solution:

A = A = $P(1+\frac{R}{100})^{n}$

Also, P = A – CI

Let the sum of money be Rs x.

If the compound annually, then: $A_{1}=x(1+\frac{20}{100})^{2}$ = 1.44x

Therefore, CI = 1.44x – x = 0.44x …..(1)

If the interest is compounded half-yearly, then : $A_{2}=x(1+\frac{10}{100})^{4}$ = 1.4641x

Therefore, CI = 1.4641x – x = 0.4641x …..(2)

It is given that if interest is compounded half-yearly, then it will be Rs 482 more.

∴ 0.4641x = 0.44x + 482         [From (1) and (2)]

0.4641x – 0.44x = 482

0.0241x = 482

x = $\frac{482}{0.0241}$ = 20000

Thus, the required sum is Rs 20000.

Q21) Simple interest on a sum of money for 2 years at $6\frac{1}{2}$% per annum is Rs 5200. What will be the compound interest on the sum at the same rate for the same period?

Solution:

$P=\frac{SI\times 100}{RT}$

According to the given values, we have:

P = $\frac{5200\times 100}{6.5\times 2}$ = 40000

Now, A = $P(1+\frac{R}{100})^{n}$

A = $40000(1+\frac{6.5}{100})^{2}$

A = $40000(1.065)^{2}$

A = Rs 45369

Also, CI = A – P = Rs 45369 – Rs 40000 = Rs 5369

Thus, the required compound interest is Rs 5369.

Q22) Find the compound interest at the rate of 5% per annum for 3 years on that principle which in 3 years at the rate of 5% per annum gives Rs 1200 as simple interest.

Solution:

$P=\frac{SI\times 100}{RT}$

According to the given values, we have:

P = $\frac{1200\times 100}{5\times 3}$ = 8000

Now, A = $P(1+\frac{R}{100})^{n}$

A = $8000(1+\frac{5}{100})^{3}$

A = $8000(1.05)^{3}$

A = Rs 9261

Also, CI = A – P = Rs 9261 – Rs 8000 = Rs 1261

Thus, the required compound interest is Rs 1261.
