## Exercise 11A

1. Find the amount and the compound interest on ₹ 2500 for 2 years at 10% per annum, compounded annually.

Solution:

Given:

Present value= ₹ 2500

Interest rate= 10% per annum

Time=2 years

To find the amount we have the formula,

Amount (A) = P (1+(R/100))n

Where P is present value, r is rate of interest, n is time in years.

Now substituting the values in above formula we get,

∴ A = 2500 (1 + 10/100)2

⇒ A = 2500 (11/10)2

⇒ A = 2500 (121/100)

⇒ A = 25 (121)

⇒ A = ₹ 3025

∴ Compound interest = A – P

= 3025 – 2500= ₹ 525

2. Find the amount and the compound interest on ₹ 15625 for 3 years at 12% per annum, compounded annually.

Solution:

Given:

Present value= ₹ 15625

Interest rate= 12% per annum

Time=3 years

To find the amount we have the formula,

Amount (A) = P (1+(R/100))n

Where P is present value, r is rate of interest, n is time in years.

Now substituting the values in above formula we get,

∴ A = 15625 (1 + 12/100)3

⇒ A = 15625 (112/100)3

⇒ A = 15625 (28/25)3

⇒ A = 15625 (21952/15625)

⇒ A = ₹ 21925

∴ Compound interest = A – P

= 21925 – 15625 = ₹ 6327

3. Find the difference between the simple interest and the compound interest on ₹ 5000 for 2 years at 9% per annum.

Solution:

Given:

Present value= ₹ 5000

Interest rate= 9% per annum

Time=2 years

Now find compound interest,

To find the amount we have the formula,

Amount (A) = P (1+(R/100))n

Where P is present value, r is rate of interest, n is time in years.

Now substituting the values in above formula we get,

∴ A = 5000 (1 + 9/100)2

⇒ A = 5000 (109/100)2

⇒ A = 5000 (1.09)2

⇒ A = 5000 (1.1881)

⇒ A = ₹ 5940.5

∴ Compound interest = A – P

= 5940.5 – 5000 = ₹ 940.5

Now find the simple interest,

Simple interest (SI) = PTR/100

Where P is principle amount, T is time taken, R is rate per annum

SI = (5000 × 2 × 9) / 100

= 50 × 2 × 9

= ₹ 900

Difference between compound interest and simple interest is = (CI – SI)

= 940.5 – 900

= ₹ 40.5

Where P is principle amount, T is time taken, R is rate per annum

Let sum is P

SI = (P × 2× 6)/ 100

⇒ SI = (12P)/ 100

⇒ SI = (3P)/ 25 —————- equation 1

To find the amount we have the formula,

Amount (A) = P (1+(R/100))n

Where P is present value, r is rate of interest, n is time in years.

Now substituting the values in above formula we get,

∴ CI= P (1 + 6/100)2-P

⇒ CI = P (1+3/50)2-P

⇒ CI = P (53/50)2-P

⇒ CI = P (2809) / (2500) – P

⇒ CI = 309P/2500——– equation 2

Now the difference is

(CI – SI) = 309P/2500 – (3P)/ 25

⇒ 90 = 309P/2500 – (3P)/ 25

⇒ 90 = 309P – (300P)/2500

⇒ 90 = 9P/2500

⇒ P= 90 × 2500/9

⇒ P= 10 × 2500

⇒ P=25000

∴ Sum = 25000

15. The difference between the compound interest and simple interest on a certain sum for 3 years at 10% per annum is ₹ 93. Find the sum.

Solution:

Time=3 years

Simple interest (SI) = PTR/100

Where P is principle amount, T is time taken, R is rate per annum

Let sum is P

SI = (P × 3× 10)/ 100

⇒ SI = (30P)/ 100

⇒ SI = (3P)/ 10 —————- equation 1

To find the amount we have the formula,

Amount (A) = P (1+(R/100))n

Where P is present value, r is rate of interest, n is time in years.

Now substituting the values in above formula we get,

∴ CI= P (1 + 10/100)3-P

⇒ CI = P (1+1/10)3-P

⇒ CI = P (11/10)3-P

⇒ CI = P (1331) / (1000) – P

⇒ CI = 331P/1000——– equation 2

Now the difference is

(CI – SI) = 331P/1000 – (3P)/ 10

⇒ 93 = 331P- 300P/1000

⇒ 93 = 31P/1000

⇒ P= 93 × 1000/31

⇒ P= 3 × 1000

⇒ P= 3000

∴ Sum = ₹3000

3. The compound interest on ₹ 10000 at 12% per annum for 1 ½ years, compounded annually, is

(a) ₹ 1872 (b) ₹ 1720 (c) ₹ 1910.16 (d) ₹ 1782

Solution:

(a) ₹ 1872

Explanation:

Present value= ₹ 10000

Interest rate= 12% per annum

Time=1 ½ years

To find the amount we have the formula,

Amount (A) = P (1+(R/100))n

Where P is present value, r is rate of interest, n is time in years.

Now substituting the values in above formula we get,

∴ A = 10000 (1 + 12/100)1 [1 + (12/2 )/100]

⇒ A = 10000 (1+12/100)1(1+6/100)

⇒ A = 10000 (112/100) (106/100)

⇒ A = 1 × 112 × 106

⇒ A = ₹ 11872

∴ Compound interest = A – P

= 11872 – 10000= ₹ 1872

4. The compound interest on ₹ 4000 at 10% per annum for 2 years 3 months , compounded annually, is

(a) ₹ 916 (b) ₹ 900 (c) ₹ 961 (d) ₹ 896

Solution:

(c) ₹ 961

Explanation:

Present value= ₹ 4000

Interest rate= 10% per annum

Time=2 ¼ years

To find the amount we have the formula,

Amount (A) = P (1+(R/100))n

Where P is present value, r is rate of interest, n is time in years.

Now substituting the values in above formula we get,

∴ A = 4000 (1 + 10/100)2 [1 + (10/4)/100]

⇒ A = 4000 (1+1/10)2(1+ (5/2)/100)

⇒ A = 4000 (121/100) (41/40)

⇒ A = 121 × 41

⇒ A = ₹ 4961

∴ Compound interest = A – P

= 4961 – 4000= ₹ 961

5. A sum of ₹ 25000 was given as loan on compound interest for 3 years compounded annually at 5% per annum during the first year,6% per annum during the second year and 8% per annum during the third year. The compound interest is

(a) ₹ 5035 (b) ₹ 5051 (c) ₹ 5072 (d) ₹ 5150

Solution:

(b) ₹ 5051

Explanation:

Present value= ₹ 25000

Interest rate for first year, p= 5 % per annum

Interest rate for second year, q= 6 % per annum

Interest rate for second year, r= 8 % per annum

Amount (A) = P × (1+p/100) × (1+q/100) × (1+r/100)

Now substituting the values in above formula we get,

∴ A = 25000 × (1+5/100) × (1+6/100) × (1+8/100)

⇒ A = 25000 × (105/100) × (106/100) × (108/100)

⇒ A = 21 × 53 × 27

⇒ A = ₹ 30051

∴ Compound interest = A – P

= 30051 – 25000= ₹ 5051

6. The compound interest on ₹ 6250 at 8% per annum for 1 year, compounded half yearly, is

(a) ₹ 500 (b) ₹ 510 (c) ₹ 550 (d) ₹ 512.50

Solution:

(b) ₹ 510

Explanation:

Present value= ₹ 6250

Interest rate= 8% per annum

Time=1 year

To find the amount we have the formula,

Amount (A) = P (1+(R/100))2n

Where P is present value, r is rate of interest, n is time in years.

Now substituting the values in above formula we get,

∴ A = 6250 (1 + (8/2)/100)2

⇒ A = 6250 (1+4/100)2

⇒ A = 6250 (1+1/25)2

⇒ A = 6250 (26/25)2

⇒ A = 10 × 26 × 26

⇒ A = ₹ 6760

∴ Compound interest = A – P

= 6760 – 6250 = ₹ 510

7. The compound interest on ₹ 40000 at 6% per annum for 6 months, compounded quarterly, is

(a) ₹ 1209 (b) ₹ 1902 (c) ₹ 1200 (d) ₹ 1306

Solution:

(a) ₹ 1209

Explanation:

Present value= ₹ 40000

Interest rate= 6% per annum

Time=6 months

To find the amount we have the formula,

Amount (A) = P (1+(R/100))4n

Where P is present value, r is rate of interest, n is time in years.

Now substituting the values in above formula we get,

∴ A = 40000 (1 + (6/4)/100)2

⇒ A = 40000 (1+3/200)2

⇒ A = 40000 (203/200)2

⇒ A = 40000 (203/200)2

⇒ A = 203 × 203

⇒ A = ₹ 41209

∴ Compound interest = A – P

= 41209 – 40000 = ₹ 1209
