1. 

Given:

Principal = ₹ 2000

Rate of interest = ₹ 5 p.c.p.a.

No of years = 2

 

To find:

Amount and Compound interest

 

Solution:

Amount = P\( \left(1+\large \frac R{100}\right)^N\)

∴ Amount = 2000 \((1 + \large \frac {5}{100})\)²

∴ Amount = 2000 \((1 + \large \frac {1}{20})\)²

∴ Amount = 2000 \((\large \frac {21}{20})\)²

∴ Amount = 2000 × \(\large \frac {21}{20}\) × \(\large \frac {21}{20}\)

∴ Amount = 5 × 21 × 21

∴ Amount = ₹ 2205

 

Now,

Compound interest = Amount – Principal

∴ Compound interest = 2205 – 2000

∴ Compound interest = ₹ 205

 

Ans: Amount is ₹ 2205 and compound interest is ₹ 205

2. 

Given:

Principal = ₹ 5000

Rate of interest = ₹ 8 p.c.p.a.

No of years = 3

 

To find:

Amount and Compound interest

 

Solution:

Amount = P\( \left(1+\large \frac R{100}\right)^N\)

∴ Amount = 5000 \((1 + \large \frac {8}{100})\)³

∴ Amount = 5000 \((\large \frac {108}{100})\)³

∴ Amount = 5000 × \(\large \frac {108}{100}\) × \(\large \frac {108}{100}\) × \(\large \frac {108}{100}\)

∴ Amount = ₹ 6298.56

 

Now,

Compound interest = Amount – Principal

∴ Compound interest = 6298.56 – 5009

∴ Compound interest = ₹ 1298.56

 

Ans: Amount is ₹ 6298.56 and compound interest is ₹ 1298.56

3. 

Given:

Principal = ₹ 4000

Rate of interest = ₹ 7.5 p.c.p.a.

No of years = 2

 

To find:

Amount and Compound interest

 

Solution:

Amount = P\( \left(1+\large \frac R{100}\right)^N\)

∴ Amount = 4000 \((1 + \large \frac {7.5}{100})\)²

∴ Amount = 4000 \((1 + \large \frac {75}{1000})\)²

∴ Amount = 4000 \((\large \frac {1075}{1000})\)²

∴ Amount = 4000 × \(\large \frac {1075}{1000}\) × \(\large \frac {1075}{1000}\)

∴ Amount = ₹ 4622.50

 

Now,

Compound interest = Amount – Principal

∴ Compound interest = 4622.50 – 4000

∴ Compound interest = ₹ 622.50

 

Ans: Amount is ₹ 4622.50 and compound interest is ₹ 622.50

Solution:

We know that,

Amount = P\( \left(1+\large \frac R{100}\right)^N\)

∴ 13924 = P \((1 + \large \frac {18}{100})\)²

∴ 13924 = P \((\large \frac {118}{100})\)²

∴ 13924 = P × \(\large \frac {118}{100}\) × \(\large \frac {118}{100}\)

∴ \(\large \frac {13924\, ×\, 100\, ×\, 100}{118\, ×\, 118}\) = P 

∴ P = ₹ 10,000

 

Ans: Principal is ₹ 10,000

8. The population of a suburb is 16000. Find the rate of increase in the population if the population after two years is 17640.

Given:

Present Population (Principal) = 16000

No of years = 2  

Population after 2 years (Amount) = 17640

 

To find:

Rate of increase

 

Solution:

We know that,

Amount = P\( \left(1+\large \frac R{100}\right)^N\)

∴ 17640 = 16000 \((1 + \large \frac {R}{100})\)²

∴ \(\large \frac {17640}{16000}\) = \((1 + \large \frac {R}{100})\)²

∴ 1.1025 = \((1 + \large \frac {R}{100})\)²

∴ \(\large \frac {11025}{10000}\) = \((1 + \large \frac {R}{100})\)²

∴ \( \sqrt {\frac {11025}{10000}}\) = \( \sqrt {(1 +  \frac {R}{100})²}\) …[By Taking square root of both sides] 

∴ \(\large \frac {105}{100}\) = \(1 + \large \frac {R}{100}\)

∴ \(\large \frac {105}{100}\) – 1 = \(\large \frac {R}{100}\)

∴ \(\large \frac {105\, –\, 100}{100}\) = \(\large \frac {R}{100}\)

∴ \(\large \frac {5}{100}\) = \(\large \frac {R}{100}\)

∴ \(\large \frac {5\, ×\, 100}{100}\) = R

∴ R = 5

 

Ans: Rate of increase in population is 5 p.c.p.a.

9. In how many years ₹700 will amount to ₹847 at a compound interest rate of 10 p.c.p.a.

Given:

Principal = ₹ 700

Amount = ₹ 847

Rate of interest = 10 p.c.p.a

 

To find:

No. of years

 

Solution:

We know that,

Amount = P\( \left(1+\large \frac R{100}\right)^N\)

∴ 847 = 700 \((1 + \large \frac {10}{100})^N\)

∴ \(\large \frac {847}{700}\) = \((1 + \large \frac {1}{10})^N\)

∴ 1.21 = \((\large \frac {11}{10})^N\)

∴ \(\large \frac {121}{100}\) = \((\large \frac {11}{10})^N\)

∴ \((\large \frac {11}{10})^2\) = \((\large \frac {11}{10})^N\)

 

By Comparing the equations, we get,

N = 2

 

Ans: 2 years will be required.

10. Find the difference between simple interest and compound interest on ₹20000 at 8 p.c.p.a for 2 years.

Given:

Principal = ₹ 20000

No. of years = 2

Rate of interest = 8 p.c.p.a.

 

To find:

Difference between Compound interest and Simple interest

 

Solution:

We know that,

Simple Interest = \(\frac {P\, ×\, N\, ×\, R }{100}\)

∴ Simple Interest = \(\large \frac {20000\, ×\, 2\, ×\, 8}{100}\)

∴ Simple Interest = 200 × 2 × 8

∴ Simple Interest = ₹ 3200

 

Now,

Amount = P\( \left(1+\large \frac R{100}\right)^N\)

∴ Amount = 20000 \((1 + \large \frac {8}{100})\)²

∴ Amount = 20000 \((\large \frac {108}{100})\)²

∴ Amount = 20000 × \(\large \frac {108}{100}\) × \(\large \frac {108}{100}\)

∴ Amount = 2 × 108 × 108

∴ Amount = ₹ 23,328

 

Compound interest = Amount – Principal

∴ Compound interest = 23,328 – 20000

∴ Compound interest = ₹ 3,328

 

And,

Difference between Compound interest and Simple interest = 3328 – 3200

∴ Difference between Compound interest and Simple interest = ₹ 128

 

Ans: Difference between Compound interest and Simple interest is ₹ 128
