Question 1.
Fill in the blanks
Question (i)
The compound interest on ₹ 5000 at 12% p.a for 2 years compounded annually is ………..
Answer:
₹ 1272
Hint:
Compound Interest (Cl) formula is
Cl = Amount – Principal
Amount = A (1 + \(\frac{r}{100}\))n = 5000 (1 + \(\frac{12}{100}\))2
= 5000 (1 + \(\frac{112}{100}\))2 = 6272
∴ Cl = 6272 – 5000 = ₹ 1272
Question (ii)
The compound interest on ₹ 8000 at 10% p.a for 1 year, compounded half yearly is …………
Answer:
₹ 820
Hint:
Compound interest (CI) = Amount – Principal
∴ Amount = P (1 + \(\frac{r}{100}\))2n [2n as it is compounded half yearly]
r = 10% p.a, for half yearly r = 1 + \(\frac{10}{2}\) = 5
A = 8000 (1 + \(\frac{5}{100}\))2×1 = 8000 x (\(\frac{105}{100}\))2 = 8820
CI = Amount – principal
= 8820 – 8000 = ₹ 820
Question (iii)
The annual rate of growth in population of a town is 10%. If its present population is 26620, the population 3 years ago was ………..
Answer:
₹ 20,000
Hint:
Rate of growth of population r = 10%; Present population = 26620
Let population 3 years ago be x
∴ Applying the formula for population growth which is similar to compound interest,
26620 = x (1 + \(\frac{r}{100}\))3
∴ 26620 = x (1 + \(\frac{10}{100}\))3 = x (\(\frac{110}{100}\))3
∴ x = 26620 x (\(\frac{110}{100}\))3
= ₹ 20,000
The population 3 years ago was ₹ 20,000
Questions (iv)
The amount if the compound interest is calculated quarterly, is found using the formula ………….
Answer:
A = P (1 + \(\frac{r}{400}\))4n
Hint:
Quarterly means 4 times in a year.
∴ The formula for compound interest is
A = P (1 + \(\frac{r}{400}\))4n
Question (v)
The difference between the S.I and C.I for 2 years for a principal of ₹ 5000 at the rate of interest 8% p.a is …….
Answer:
₹ 32
Hint:
Difference between S.I & C.I is given by the formula
CI – SI = P (\(\frac{r}{100}\))2
Principal (P) = 5000, r = 8% p.a
∴ CI – SI = 5000 (\(\frac{8}{100}\))2 = 5000 x \(\frac{8}{100}\) x \(\frac{8}{100}\) = ₹ 32
Question 2.
Say True or False
Question (i)
Depreciation value is calculated by the formula P (1 – \(\frac{r}{100}\))n
Answer:
True
Hint:
Depreciation formula is P (1 – \(\frac{r}{100}\))n
Question (ii)
If the present population of a city is P and it increases at the rate of r % p.a, then the population n years ago would be P (1 + \(\frac{r}{100}\))n.
Answer:
False
Hint:
Let the population ‘n’ yrs ago be ‘x’
Present population (P) = x × (1 + \(\frac{r}{100}\))n
x = \(\frac { P }{ (1+\frac { r }{ 100 } )^{ n } } \)
Question (iii)
The present value of a machine is ₹ 16800. It depreciates @25% p.a. Its worth after 2 years is ₹ 9450.
Answer:
True
Hint:
Present value of machine = ₹ 16800
Depreciation rate (n) = 25%
Value after 2 years = P (1 – \(\frac{r}{100}\))n = 16800 (1 – \(\frac{25}{100}\))2
= 16800 x (1 – \(\frac{1}{4}\))2 = 16800 x \(\frac{3}{4}\) x \(\frac{3}{4}\) = 9450
Question (iv)
The time taken for ₹ 1000 to become ₹ 1331 @20% p.a compounded annually is 3 years.
Answer:
False
Principal money = 1000
rate of interest Amount = 20%
Amount = 1331, applying in formula we get
A = (1 + \(\frac{r}{100}\))n
1331 = 1000(1 + \(\frac{r}{100}\))n
∴ \(\frac{1331}{1000}\) = (1 – \(\frac{1}{5}\))n
\(\frac{1331}{1000}\) = (\(\frac{6}{5}\))n
∴ n ≠ 3 (False)
Question (v)
The compound interest on ₹ 16000 for 9 months @20% p.a, compounded quarterly is ₹ 2522.
Answer:
True
Hint:
Principal (P) = 16000
n = 9 months = \(\frac{9}{12}\) years
r = 20% p.a
For compounding quarterly, we have to use below formula.
Amount (A) = P x (1 + \(\frac{r}{100}\))4n
Since quarterly we have to divide r by 4
r = \(\frac{20}{4}\)
∴ Interest = A – P = 18522 – 16000 = 2522 (True)
Question 3.
Find the compound interest on ₹ 3200 at 2.5% p.a for 2 years, compounded annually.
Solution:
Principal (P) = ₹ 3200
r = 2.5% p.a
n = 2 years comp, annually
∴ Amount (A) = (1 + \(\frac{r}{100}\))n = (1 + \(\frac{2.5}{100}\))2
= 3200 x (1.025)2 = 3362
Compound interest (Cl) = Amount – Principal = 3362 – 3200 = ₹ 162
Question 4.
Find the compound interest for 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) years on ₹ 4000 at 10% p.a if the interest is compounded yearly.
Solution:
Principal (P) = ₹ 4000
r = 10% p.a
Compounded yearly n = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) years. Since it is of the form a\(\frac{b}{c}\) years
= 4000x 1.1 x 1.1 x 1.05 = 5082
∴ Cl = Amount – Principal = 5082 – 4000 = 1082
Question 5.
Magesh invested ₹ 5000 at 12% p.a for one year. If the interest is compounded half yearly, find the amount he gets at the end of the year.
Solution:
Principal (P) = ₹ 5000
Interest compounded half yearly
r = 12% p.a = \(\frac{12}{2}\) = 6% for half yearly
t = 1 yr.
Since compounded half yearly, the formula to be used is
Amount A = P (1 + \(\frac{r}{100}\))2n
A = 5000 (1 + \(\frac{6}{100}\))2×1 = 5000 x (\(\frac{106}{100}\))2 = ₹ 5618
Question 6.
At what time will a sum of ₹ 3000 will amount to ₹ 3993 at 10% p.a compounded annually?
Solution:
Amount A = ₹ 3993
Principal = ₹ 3000
r = 10% p.a
n = ?
Question 7.
A principal becomes ₹ 2028 in 2 years at 4% p.a compound interest. Find the Principal.
Solution:
n = 2 years
r = rate of interest = 4% p.a
Amount A = ₹ 2028
Amount (A) = P (1 + \(\frac{r}{100}\))n
2028 = P (1 + \(\frac{4}{100}\))n
2028 = P (\(\frac{r}{100}\))2
∴ P = \(\frac{2028x100x100}{104×104}\) = ₹ 1875
Question 8.
At what rate percentage p.a will ₹ 5625 amount to ₹ 6084 in 2 years at compound interest?
Solution:
Principal (P) = ₹ 5625
Amount (A) = ₹ 6084
n = 2 years
r = ?
Amount (A) = P (1 + \(\frac{r}{100}\))n [Applying in formula]
6084 = 5625 (1 + \(\frac{r}{100}\))2
(1 + \(\frac{r}{100}\))2 = \(\frac{6084}{5625}\)
Taking square root on both sides, we get
1 + \(\frac{r}{100}\) = \(\frac{78}{75}\)
\(\frac{r}{100}\) = \(\frac{78}{75}\) – 1 = \(\frac{3}{75}\) = \(\frac{1}{25}\)
∴ r = \(\frac{1}{25}\) x 100 = 4%
Question 9.
In how many years will ₹ 3375 amount to ₹ 4096 at 13\(\frac{1}{3}\)% p.a where interest is compounded half-yearly?
Solution:
Principal = ₹ 3375
Amount = ₹ 4096
r = 13\(\frac{1}{3}\)% p.a = \(\frac{40}{3}\)% p.a
Compounded half yearly r = \(\frac { \frac { 40 }{ 3 } }{ 2 } \) = \(\frac{2}{3}\)
Let no. of years be n
for compounding half yearly, formula is
Question 10.
Find the C.I on ₹ 15000 for 3 years if the rates of interest is 15%, 20% and 25% for I, II and III years respectively.

Principal (P) = ₹ 15000
rate of interest 1 (a) = 15% for year I
rate of interest 2 (b) = 20% for year II
rate of interest 3 (c) = 25% for year III
Formula for amount when rate of interest is different for different years is
Compound Interest (Cl) = A – P = 25,875 – 15,000 = 10,875
Cl = ₹ 10,875
Question 11.
