1Exercise 2(A)

Calculate the amount and the compound interest on ₹ 25,000 for 2 years at 8% per annum, compounded annually.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

For first year :

P = ₹ 25,000

T = 1 year

R = 8%

I = $\frac{P \times R \times T}{100}$

$= \frac{25000 \times 8 \times 1}{100}$ = ₹ 2,000.

Amount = P + I = ₹ 25,000 + ₹ 2,000 = ₹ 27,000.

For second year :

P = ₹ 27,000

T = 1 year

R = 8%

I = $\frac{P \times R \times T}{100}$

$= \frac{27000 \times 8 \times 1}{100}$ = ₹ 2160.

Amount = P + I = ₹ 27,000 + ₹ 2,160 = ₹ 29,160.

Compound interest = Final amount - Initial principal

= ₹ 29,160 - ₹ 25,000 = ₹ 4,160.

Hence, compound interest = ₹ 4,160 and amount = ₹ 29,160.

2Exercise 2(A)

Rohit borrows ₹ 62,500 from Arun for 2 years at 10% per annum, simple interest. He immediately lends out this sum to Kunal at 10% per annum for the same period, compounded annually. Calculate Rohit's profit in the transaction at the end of two years.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

For Rohit,

P = ₹ 62,500

T = 2 year

R = 10% per annum simple interest

Interest Rohit pays to Arun:

I = $\frac{P \times R \times T}{100}$

$= \frac{62500 \times 10 \times 2}{100}$ = ₹ 12,500.

For Kunal,

For first year :

P = ₹ 62,500

T = 1 year

R = 10% per annum compounded annually

I = $\frac{P \times R \times T}{100}$

$= \frac{62500 \times 10 \times 1}{100}$ = ₹ 6,250.

Amount = P + I = ₹ 62,500 + ₹ 6,250 = ₹ 68,750.

For second year :

P = ₹ 68,750

T = 1 year

R = 10% per annum compounded annually

I = $\frac{P \times R \times T}{100}$

$= \frac{68750 \times 10 \times 1}{100}$ = ₹ 6,875.

Amount = P + I = ₹ 68,750 + ₹ 6,875 = ₹ 75,625.

Compound interest = Final amount - Initial principal

= ₹ 75,625 - ₹ 62,500 = ₹ 13,125.

∴ Interest Kunal pays to Rohit = ₹ 13,125

Rohit's profit = Compound interest received from Kunal - Simple interest paid to Arun = ₹ 13,125 - ₹ 12,500 = ₹ 625.

Hence, Rohit's profit in the transaction at the end of two years = ₹ 625.

3Exercise 2(A)

A man invests ₹ 10,000 for 3 years at a certain rate of interest, compounded annually. At the end of one year, it amounts to ₹ 11,200. Calculate :

(i) the rate of interest per annum;

(ii) the interest accrued in the second year;

(iii) the amount at the end of the third year.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

(i) Given,

P = ₹ 10,000

T = 3 year

Amount at the end of first year = ₹ 11,200

Interest in the first year = Amount - Principal

= ₹ 11,200 - ₹ 10,000 = ₹ 1,200.

So, for 1 year interest equals to ₹ 1,200 on ₹ 10,000. Let rate of interest be R%. Substituting values we get :

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow I = \frac{P \times R \times T}{100} \\[1em] \Rightarrow 1200 = \frac{10000 \times R \times 1}{100} \\[1em] \Rightarrow 1200 = 100 \times R \\[1em] \Rightarrow R = \frac{1200}{100} \\[1em] \Rightarrow R = 12%.\end{aligned}$$

Hence, the rate of interest per annum = 12% p.a.

(ii) Given,

For second year :

P = ₹ 11,200

T = 1 year

R = 12%

Interest accrued in the second year,

I = $\frac{P \times R \times T}{100}$

$= \frac{11200 \times 12 \times 1}{100}$

= ₹ 1,344.

Hence, the interest accrued in the second year = ₹ 1,344.

(iii) For third year,

P = ₹ 11,200 + ₹ 1,344 = ₹ 12,544

I = $\frac{P \times R \times T}{100}$

$= \frac{12544 \times 12 \times 1}{100}$

= ₹ 1,505.28

Amount at the end of the third year = P + I = ₹ 12,544 + ₹ 1,505.28 = ₹ 14,049.28

Hence, the amount at the end of the third year = ₹ 14,049.28.

4Exercise 2(A)

Sudhakar borrows ₹ 22,500 at 10% per annum, compounded annually. If he repays ₹ 11,250 at the end of first year and ₹ 12,550 at the end of the second year, find the amount of loan outstanding against him at the end of the third year.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

For first year :

P = ₹ 22,500

T = 1 year

R = 10 %

I = $\frac{P \times R \times T}{100}$

$= \frac{22500 \times 10 \times 1}{100}$ = ₹ 2,250.

Amount = P + I = ₹ 22,500 + ₹ 2,250 = ₹ 24,750.

Amount payed at end of first year = ₹ 11,250.

Amount left at beginning of second year = ₹ 24,750 - ₹ 11,250 = ₹ 13,500.

For second year :

P = ₹ 13,500

R = 10%

T = 1 year

I = $\frac{P \times R \times T}{100}$

$= \frac{13500 \times 10 \times 1}{100}$ = ₹ 1,350.

Amount = P + I = ₹ 13,500 + ₹ 1,350 = ₹ 14,850.

Amount payed at end of second year = ₹ 12,550.

Amount left at beginning of third year = ₹ 14,850 - ₹ 12,550 = ₹ 2,300

For third year :

P = ₹ 2,300

R = 10%

T = 1 year

I = $\frac{P \times R \times T}{100}$

$= \frac{2300 \times 10 \times 1}{100}$ = ₹ 230.

Amount due at the end of third year = P + I = ₹ 2,300 + ₹ 230 = ₹ 2,530.

Hence, the amount outstanding at the end of the third year = ₹ 2,530.

5Exercise 2(A)

A man borrows ₹ 15,000 at 12% per annum, compounded annually. If he repays ₹ 4,400 at end of each year, find the amount outstanding against him at the beginning of third year.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

For first year :

P = ₹ 15,000

T = 1 year

R = 12%

I = $\frac{P \times R \times T}{100}$

$= \frac{15000 \times 12 \times 1}{100}$ = ₹ 1,800.

Amount = P + I = ₹ 15,000 + ₹ 1,800 = ₹ 16,800.

Amount payed at end of first year = ₹ 4,400.

Amount left at beginning of second year = ₹ 16,800 - ₹ 4,400 = ₹ 12,400.

For second year :

P = ₹ 12,400

R = 12%

T = 1 year

I = $\frac{P \times R \times T}{100}$

$= \frac{12400 \times 12 \times 1}{100}$ = ₹ 1,488.

Amount = P + I = ₹ 12,400 + ₹ 1,488 = ₹ 13,888.

Amount payed at end of second year = ₹ 4,400.

Amount left at beginning of third year = ₹ 13,888 - ₹ 4,400 = ₹ 9,488.

Hence, amount left at beginning of third year = ₹ 9,488.

6Exercise 2(A)

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

For first year :

P = ₹ 16,000

T = 1 year

R = 10 %

I = $\frac{P \times R \times T}{100}$

$= \frac{16000 \times 10 \times 1}{100}$ = ₹ 1,600.

Amount = P + I = ₹ 16,000 + ₹ 1,600 = ₹ 17,600.

Amount payed at end of first year = ₹ 5,600.

Amount left at beginning of second year = ₹ 17,600 - ₹ 5,600 = ₹ 12,000.

For second year :

P = ₹ 12,000

R = 12%

T = 1 year

I = $\frac{P \times R \times T}{100}$

$= \frac{12000 \times 12 \times 1}{100}$ = ₹ 1,440.

Amount = P + I = ₹ 12,000 + ₹ 1,440 = ₹ 13,440.

Hence, amount outstanding at end of second year = ₹ 13,440.

7Exercise 2(A)

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

For first year :

P = ₹ 30,000

T = 1 year

R = 10%

I = $\frac{P \times R \times T}{100}$

$= \frac{30000 \times 10 \times 1}{100}$ = ₹ 3,000.

Amount = P + I = ₹ 30,000 + ₹ 3,000 = ₹ 33,000.

For second year :

P = ₹ 33,000

T = 1 year

R = 10%

I = $\frac{P \times R \times T}{100}$

$= \frac{33000 \times 10 \times 1}{100}$ = ₹ 3,300

Amount = P + I = ₹ 33,000 + ₹ 3,300 = ₹ 36,300

For next 4 months :

P = ₹ 36,300

T = 4 months = $\frac{4}{12}$ year = $\frac{1}{3}$ year

R = 10%

I = $\frac{P \times R \times T}{100}$

$= \frac{36300 \times 10 \times \frac{1}{3}}{100}$

$= \frac{363000}{300}$ = ₹ 1,210.

Amount = P + I = ₹ 36,300 + ₹ 1,210 = ₹ 37,510.

Hence, final amount = ₹ 37,510.

8Exercise 2(A)

For second year :

P = ₹ 33,750

T = 1 year

R = 8%

I = $\frac{P \times R \times T}{100}$

$= \frac{33750 \times 8 \times 1}{100}$ = ₹ 2,700.

Amount = P + I = ₹ 33,750 + ₹ 2,700 = ₹ 36,450.

For next $\frac{1}{2}$ year :

P = ₹ 36,450

T = $\frac{1}{2}$ year

R = 8%

I = $\frac{P \times R \times T}{100}$

$= \frac{36450 \times 8 \times \frac{1}{2}}{100}$

$= \frac{291600}{200}$ = ₹ 1,458.

Amount = P + I = ₹ 36,450 + ₹ 1,458 = ₹ 37,908.

Hence, final amount = ₹ 37,908.

For second year :

P = ₹ 27,000

T = 1 year

R = 9%

I = $\frac{P \times R \times T}{100}$

$= \frac{27000 \times 9 \times 1}{100}$ = ₹ 2,430.

Amount = P + I = ₹ 27,000 + ₹ 2,430 = ₹ 29,430.

For third year :

P = ₹ 29,430

T = 1 year

R = 10%

I = $\frac{P \times R \times T}{100}$

$= \frac{29430 \times 10 \times 1}{100}$ = ₹ 2,943.

Amount = P + I = ₹ 29,430 + ₹ 2,943 = ₹ 32,373.

Compound interest = Final amount - Initial principal

= ₹ 32,373 - ₹ 25,000 = ₹ 7,373.

Hence, final amount = ₹ 32,373 and compound interest = ₹ 7,373.

11Exercise 2(A)

Peter invested ₹ 2,40,000 for 2 years at 10% per annum compounded annually. If 20% of the accrued interest at the end of each year is deducted as income tax, find the amount he received at the end of 2 years.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

For first year :

P = ₹ 2,40,000

T = 1 year

R = 10%

I = $\frac{P \times R \times T}{100}$

$= \frac{240000 \times 10 \times 1}{100}$ = ₹ 24,000.

Income tax deducted = 20% of Interest

= $\frac{20}{100} \times 24000$ = ₹ 4,800

Interest after deduction = ₹ 24,000 - ₹ 4,800 = ₹ 19,200.

Amount = P + I = ₹ 2,40,000 + ₹ 19,200 = ₹ 2,59,200.

For second year :

P = ₹ 2,59,200

T = 1 year

R = 10%

I = $\frac{P \times R \times T}{100}$

$= \frac{259200 \times 10 \times 1}{100}$ = ₹ 25,920.

Income tax deducted = 20% of Interest

= $\frac{20}{100} \times 25920$ = ₹ 5,184.

Interest after deduction = ₹ 25,920 - ₹ 5,184 = ₹ 20,736.

Amount = P + I = ₹ 2,59,200 + ₹ 20,736 = ₹ 2,79,936.

Hence, final amount received at the end of 2 years = ₹ 2,79,936.

12Exercise 2(A)

Find the amount and the compound interest on ₹ 10,000 for 1 year at 12% per annum, compounded half-yearly.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given,

Rate = 12%

Half yearly rate (R) = $\frac{\text{Rate}}{2} = \frac{12}{2}$ = 6%

For first half year :

P = ₹ 10,000

T = 1 half year

I = $\frac{P \times R \times T}{100}$

$= \frac{10000 \times 6 \times 1}{100}$ = ₹ 600.

Amount = P + I = ₹ 10,000 + ₹ 600 = ₹ 10,600.

For second half year :

P = ₹ 10,600

T = 1 half year

Half yearly rate = 6%

I = $\frac{P \times R \times T}{100}$

$= \frac{10600 \times 6 \times 1}{100}$ = ₹ 636.

Amount = P + I = ₹ 10,600 + ₹ 636 = ₹ 11,236.

Compound interest = Final amount - Initial principal

= ₹ 11,236 - ₹ 10,000 = ₹ 1,236.

Hence, final amount = ₹ 11,236 and compound interest = ₹ 1,236.

13Exercise 2(A)

Find the amount and the compound interest on ₹ 64,000 for $1\frac{1}{2}$ year at 15% per annum, compounded half-yearly.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given,

Rate = 15%

Half yearly rate (R) = $\frac{\text{Rate}}{2} = \frac{15}{2}$ % = 7.5%

Time = $1\frac{1}{2}$ year = $\frac{3}{2} \times 2$ = 3 half-year.

For first half year :

P = ₹ 64,000

T = 1 half year

I = $\frac{P \times R \times T}{100}$

$= \frac{64,000 \times 7.5 \times 1}{100}$ = ₹ 4,800

Amount = P + I = ₹ 64,000 + ₹ 4,800 = ₹ 68,800

For second half year :

P = ₹ 68,800

Half yearly rate (R) = 7.5%

T = 1 half year

I = $\frac{P \times R \times T}{100}$

$= \frac{68800 \times 7.5 \times 1}{100}$ = ₹ 5,160.

Amount = P + I = ₹ 68,800 + ₹ 5,160 = ₹ 73,960.

For third half year :

P = ₹ 73,960

Half yearly rate (R) = 7.5%

T = 1 year

I = $\frac{P \times R \times T}{100}$

$= \frac{73960 \times 7.5 \times 1}{100}$ = ₹ 5,547.

Amount = P + I = ₹ 73,960 + ₹ 5,547 = ₹ 79,507.

Compound interest = Final amount - Initial principal

= ₹ 79,507 - ₹ 64,000 = ₹ 15,507.

Hence, final amount = ₹ 79,507 and compound interest = ₹ 15,507.

14Exercise 2(A)

The simple interest on a sum of money for 2 years at 10% p.a. is ₹ 1,700. Find:

(i) the sum of money,

(ii) the compound interest on this sum for 1 year, payable half yearly at the same rate.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

(i) Given,

The simple interest on a sum of money for 2 years at 10% p.a. is ₹ 1700.

I = ₹ 1,700

T = 2 year

R = 10%

Let sum of money be ₹ P.

I = $\frac{P \times R \times T}{100}$

Substituting values we get :

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow 1700 = \frac{P \times 10 \times 2}{100} \\[1em] \Rightarrow 1700 = \frac{P \times 20}{100}\\[1em] \Rightarrow 1700 = \frac{P}{5} \\[1em] \Rightarrow P = 1700 \times 5 = 8,500.\end{aligned}$$

Hence, the sum of money = ₹ 8,500

(ii) Given,

For first half year :

P = ₹ 8,500

R = 10%

Half yearly rate = $\frac{Rate}{2} = \frac{10}{2}$ = 5%

T = 1 half year

I = $\frac{P \times R \times T}{100}$

$= \frac{8500 \times 5 \times 1}{100} = ₹ 425$

Amount = P + I = ₹ 8,500 + ₹ 425 = ₹ 8,925.

For second half year :

P = ₹ 8,925

Half yearly rate = 5%

T = 1 half year

I = $\frac{P \times R \times T}{100}$

$= \frac{8925 \times 5 \times 1}{100} = ₹ 446.25$

Amount = P + I = ₹ 8,925 + ₹ 446.25 = ₹ 9,371.25

Compound interest = Final Amount - Initial Pincipal

= ₹ 9,371.25 - ₹ 8,500

= ₹ 871.25

Hence, compound interest = ₹ 871.25

r = $7\frac{1}{2}$% = 7.5%

By formula,

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

Substituting values we get :

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow A = 64000\Big(1 + \frac{7.5}{100}\Big)^3 \\[1em] \Rightarrow A = 64000\Big(\frac{100+7.5}{100}\Big)^3 \\[1em] \Rightarrow A = 64000\Big(\frac{107.5}{100}\Big)^3 \\[1em] \Rightarrow A = 64000 \times \Big(\frac{21.5}{20}\Big)^3 \\[1em] \Rightarrow A = 64000 \times \frac{9938.375}{8000} \\[1em] \Rightarrow A = ₹ 79,507.\end{aligned}$$

Compound interest = Final amount - Initial principal = ₹ 79,507 - ₹ 64,000 = ₹ 15,507

Hence, amount = ₹ 79,507 and compound interest = ₹ 15,507.

A man borrows ₹ 5,000 at 12% compound interest p.a., interest payable every six months. He pays back ₹ 1,800 at the end of every six months. The third payment he has to make at the end of 18 months in order to clear the entire loan will be:

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

For first six moths :

P = ₹ 5,000

T = 6 months = 0.5 year

R = 12%

I = $\frac{P \times R \times T}{100}$

$= \frac{5000 \times 12 \times 0.5}{100}$ = ₹ 300.

Amount = P + I = ₹ 5,000 + ₹ 300 = ₹ 5,300.

Amount payed at end of six months = ₹ 1,800.

Amount left at beginning of second six months = ₹ 5,300 - ₹ 1,800 = ₹ 3,500.

For next six months :

P = ₹ 3,500

R = 12%

T = 6 months = 0.5 year

I = $\frac{P \times R \times T}{100}$

$= \frac{3500 \times 12 \times 0.5}{100}$ = ₹ 210.

Amount = P + I = ₹ 3,500 + ₹ 210 = ₹ 3,710.

Amount payed at end of second six months = ₹ 1,800.

Amount left at beginning of third six months = ₹ 3,710 - ₹ 1,800 = ₹ 1,910

For next six months :

P = ₹ 1,910

R = 12%

T = 6 months = 0.5 year

I = $\frac{P \times R \times T}{100}$

$= \frac{1910 \times 12 \times 0.5}{100}$ = ₹ 114.6

Amount due at the end of third year = P + I = ₹ 1,910 + ₹ 114.6 = ₹ 2,024.60

1Assertion Reasoning Questions

Assertion (A): ₹ 1,00,000 amounts to ₹ 1,21,000 in 1 year and to ₹1,46,410 in 2 years, compounded annually.

Reason (R): When the interest is compounded annually, then, we have A = $P \times \Big(1 + \frac{R}{100} \Big)^n$

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given,

P = ₹ 1,00,000

A = ₹ 1,21,000

n = 1 year

By formula,

A = $P \times \Big(1 + \frac{r}{100}\Big)^n$

Substituting the values in formula,

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow 121000 = 100000 \times \Big(1 + \frac{r}{100}\Big)^1 \\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{121000}{100000} = 1 + \frac{r}{100} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{r}{100} = 1.21 - 1 \\[1em] \Rightarrow r = 0.21 \times 100 \\[1em] \Rightarrow r = 21%\end{aligned}$$

Lets calculate the amount for 2 years with this rate of interest.

By formula,

A = $P \times \Big(1 + \frac{r}{100}\Big)^n$

Substituting the values in formula,

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow A = 100000 \times \Big(1 + \frac{21}{100}\Big)^2 \\[1em] \Rightarrow A = 100000 \times \Big(\frac{100 + 21}{100}\Big)^2 \\[1em] \Rightarrow A = 100000 \times \Big(\frac{121}{100}\Big)^2 \\[1em] \Rightarrow A = 100000 \times (1.21)^2 \\[1em] \Rightarrow A = 100000 \times 1.4641 \\[1em] \Rightarrow A = 146410.\end{aligned}$$

Assertion (A) is true.

Formula,

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

Reason is true, as it is the formula to calculate the amount for compound interest when the interest is compounded annually.

Hence, option 3 is correct option.

2Assertion Reasoning Questions

Assertion (A): The present population of a town decreases at the rate of 5% p.a. due to migration. Its present population is 21,600 and 2 years ago it was 24,000.

Reason (R): Let there be an increase in population at R% p.a. Then population after n years is given by $P \times \Big(1 - \frac{R}{100} \Big)^n$, where P is the present population.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given,

P (two years ago) = 24,000

R = 5% p.a.

n = 2 year

By formula,

Population after n years = $P\Big(1 - \frac{r}{100}\Big)^n$

Substituting the values in formula,

$$\begin{aligned}\text{Present population }=24000 \times \Big(1 - \frac{5}{100}\Big)^2 \\[1em] =24000 \times \Big(\frac{100 - 5}{100}\Big)^2 \\[1em] =24000 \times \Big(\frac{95}{100}\Big)^2 \\[1em] =24000 \times (0.95)^2\\[1em] =24000 \times 0.9025\\[1em] =21,660\end{aligned}$$

Assertion is False

Reason is also false as we do not use that formula to calculate the growth in population. We use,

Population growth after n years at R% with initial Population as P is calulated using formula : $P \times \Big(1 + \frac{R}{100}\Big)^n$

Hence, option 4 is correct option.

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow x + x \times \frac{10}{100} \times 3 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x + \frac{3x}{10} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{13x}{10} \\[1em] \Rightarrow 1.3x\end{aligned}$$

Annual installment 2 (Paid at the end of 2nd year) : This installment will earn interest for 2 years.

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow x + x \times \frac{10}{100} \times 2 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x + \frac{2x}{10} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{12x}{10} \\[1em] \Rightarrow 1.2x\end{aligned}$$

Annual installment 3 (Paid at the end of 3rd year) : This installment will earn interest for 1 year.

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow x + x \times \frac{10}{100} \times 1 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x + \frac{x}{10} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{11x}{10} \\[1em] \Rightarrow 1.1x\end{aligned}$$

Annual installment 4 (Paid at the end of 4th year) : This installment will not earn any interest.

⇒ x

The sum of these values must be equal to debt value of ₹ 4,600.

⇒ 1.3x + 1.2x + 1.1x + x = 4,600

⇒ 4.6x = 4,600

⇒ x = $\frac{4,600}{4.6}$

⇒ x = ₹ 1,000.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Let the sum be ₹ P.

Given,

I = $\frac{P}{2}$

T = 6 years

R = 8%

By formula,

$I = \frac{P \times R \times T}{100}$

Substituting values we get :

$\Rightarrow \frac{P}{2} = \frac{P \times 8 \times 6}{100}$

By doing this calculation we will not obtain the sum, we need to have the interest to calculate the sum.

Hence, Option 4 is correct option.

3Competency Focused Questions

What is the principal amount which earns ₹ 132 as compound interest for the second year at 10% per annum?

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Let the principal amount be ₹ P.

For 1 year :

R = 10%

T = 1 year

I = $\frac{P \times R \times T}{100}$

Substituting values we get :

$\Rightarrow I = \frac{P \times 10\times 1}{100} = \frac{P}{10}$

A = $P + \frac{P}{10} = \frac{11P}{10}$

For 2nd year :

Principal = $\frac{11P}{10}$

R = 10%

T = 1 year

I = $\frac{P \times R \times T}{100}$

$$\begin{aligned}I = \frac{\frac{11P}{10} \times 10 \times 1}{100} \\[1em] = \frac{11P \times 10}{1000} \\[1em] = \frac{11P}{100}.\end{aligned}$$

Given,

Interest for 2nd year = ₹ 132

$$\begin{aligned}\therefore \frac{11P}{100} = 132 \\[1em] \Rightarrow P = \frac{132 \times 100}{11} \\[1em] \Rightarrow P = 1,200.\end{aligned}$$
