Question 1
What is the difference between the simple interest and compound interest at the rate of 12% for 1 year? The compounding is half-yearly, and the principal is Rs. 60000.
Rs. 216.
Rs. 316.
Rs. 116.
Rs. 416.
Ans: a
The simple interest SI = (P × r)/100 = (60000 × 12)/100 = Rs. 7200. Compound interest will have half interest rate and n = 2. By shortcut formula, we have CI = ${P × R × (R + 200)}/10000$ = ${60000 × 6 × (6 + 200)}/10000$ = Rs. 7416. The difference = Rs. 216.
Question 2
The amount of Rs. 2000000 earns an interest of Rs. 590058 @9% compounded annually. What is the investment period in years?
Question 3
A bank offers an interest rate of 6% compounded annually. Initially I deposit Rs. 90000 in the bank under this scheme. After 1 year I again deposit Rs 90000. What is the total amount that I will get after 2 years?
Rs. 196524.
Rs. 196624.
Rs. 196424.
Rs. 196724.
Ans: a
Let P, A, r and n have their usual meanings. For the first deposit n = 2, and for the second deposit n = 1. So total amount is P × $((1 + r/100)^2 + (1 + r/100))$ = $P/10000$ × $((100 + r)^2 + 100(100 + r))$ = $P/10000 × (100 + r)$ × $(100 + r + 100)$ which equals ${P × (100 + r) × (200 + r)}/10000.$ Putting r = 6 and P = 90000 and cancelling 10000, we get 9 × 106 × 206 = Rs. 196524.
Question 4
An amount P is invested for 2 years @5% p.a. The simple interest is Rs. 7000. What would be the compound interest on the same amount, at the same rate and for the same time, compounded annually?
Rs. 7175.
Rs. 7275.
Rs. 7075.
Rs. 7375.
Ans: a
Let SI, P, r, t have usual meanings. Then, for 2 years, SI = (P × r × 2)/100. So P = $(50 × SI)/r$. The compound interest for 2 years by shortcut formula is ${P × r × (200 + r)}/10000$. Putting P here, it becomes, ${{(50 × SI)/r} × r × (200 + r)}/10000$ = ${SI × (r + 200)}/200$ = ${7000 × (5 + 200)}/200$ = Rs. 7175.
Question 5
The compound amount after 3 years on a principal of Rs. x is same as that on a principal of Rs. (621 - x) after 4 years, then what is x if the rate of interest is 7% p.a. compounded yearly?
