Rs. 80,000 will amount to How much in 2 years at compound interest, if the rate of interest for successive years be 10% and 5% per year?
Principal:- Rs. 80000
Rate $\quad:10+5+\frac{10 \times 5}{100}$
Time :- 2 years
$\begin{aligned} \text { Interest } &=\text { Rs. } 80000 \times \frac{15.5}{100} \\ &=\text { Rs. } 12,400 \\ \text { Amount } &=80,000+12,400 \\ &=\text { Rs. } 92,400 \end{aligned}$
Mohit invested a certain amount of money and got back an amount of Rs. 9900 after 3 years. If the rate of simple interest is 40%, what is the principal amount invested by Mohit?
Let principal be $p$
Rate of interest is $40 \%$ p.a.
And time $=3$ year
$\begin{aligned} \text { After } 3 \text { years total simple interest } &=\frac{p \times 40 \times 3}{100} \\ &=\frac{6 p}{5} \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} \text { Amount after } 3 \text { year } &=\frac{6 p}{5}+\mathrm{p} \\ &=\frac{11 p}{5} \end{aligned}$
Now, according to the given condition,
$\begin{aligned} \frac{11 p}{5} &=9900 \\ \mathrm{p} &=\frac{9900 \times 5}{11} \\ \mathrm{p} &=\text { Rs. } 4500 \end{aligned}$
The principal amount invested by Mohit was Rs. 4500
At $18 \%$ per annum certain sum yields interest Rs. 8,100 in 3 years. At what percent per annum same sum yields interest Rs.37,500 in 8 years?
S.I $=18 \% \times 3$
$=54 \%$
Rs. $8,100=54 \%$
Rs. $37,500=\frac{54 \%}{8,100} \times 37,500=250 \%$
$\mathrm{RT} \%=250 \%$
$\mathrm{R} \times 8=250$
$\mathrm{R}=31.25 \%$
A sum of money compounded annually doubles itself in 5 years. In how many years will it become four times of itself?
ATQ,
Ankit deposited $30 \%$ of his salary to a HDFC bank which offers compound interest at the rate of $10 \%$ p.a. If the interest earned by him from the bank after 2 years is Rs. 5670, find the monthly expenditure of the man which is $33.33 \%$ of his monthly salary.
Let salary of Ankit is 1000 units.
Interest of 2 years -
300 10% - 30
- 30 $ \quad $3
CI after 2 years = 63 units
63 units = 5670
1 unit = 90
1000 units = 90000
$\begin{aligned} \text { Expenditure } &=90,000 \times \frac{1}{3} \\ &=30,000 \end{aligned}$
If the simple interest on a certain sum of money borrowed for 4 years at $8.5 \%$ per annum exceeds the simple interest on the same sum for 3 years at $10.5 \%$ per annum by Rs. 1000 , then the sum borrowed is:
2.5 units = 1000
1 unit = 400
Sum = 100 × 400
= 40000
Given
Amount = ₹37,632
Rate = 12%
Time (T) =2 years
$A=P\left(1+\frac{R}{100}\right)^t$
$37632=P\left(1+\frac{12}{100}\right)^2$
$37632=P\left(\frac{112}{100}\right)^2$
$37632=P\left(\frac{28}{25}\right)^2$
$P=\frac{37632 \times 25 \times 25}{28 \times 28}$
P= 30,000
According to question
S.I. $=\frac{P R T}{100}$
S.I. $=\frac{30000 \times 12 \times 4}{100}$
S.I. = 14400
Find the interest on Rs 500 for a period of 4 years at the rate of $8 \%$ per annum. Also, find the amount to be paid at the end of the period.
Given Principal amount $\mathrm{P}=$ Rs 500
Time period $\mathrm{T}=4$ years
Rate of interest $\mathrm{R}=8 \%$ p.a.
We know that simple interest $=\frac{(P \times R\times T)}{100}$
On substituting these values in the above equation we get
$
\mathrm{SI}=\frac{(500 \times 8\times 4)}{100}
$
$=\operatorname{Rs} 160$
Amount $=$ Principal amount $+$ Interest
$=\operatorname{Rs} 500+160$
$=\operatorname{Rs} 660$
Interest $=5,310-4500=810$
$810=\frac{P \times R \times T}{100}$
$\Rightarrow 810=\frac{4500 \times R \times 4}{100}$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{R}=\frac{810}{180}$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{R}=4.5 \%$
Anil took some loan on simple interest at a certain rate and paid ₹ 12800 as interest after 2 years. His friend Sumit also borrowed the same sum on compound interest for the same period and same rate of interest compounded annually and paid ₹ 704 more interest than that paid by Anil. What is the rate of interest per annum?
We know SI for the each year is same so we can write it as:
SI CI
For 1st year = 6400 6400
For 2nd year = 6400 6400+704
Let x be the required rate.
According to question,
6400 of x% =704
$6400 \times \frac{x}{100}=704$
$\mathrm{x} \quad=\frac{704}{64}=11 \%$
Rate of SI for two year $=10+10=20 \%$
Rate of CI for two year $=10+10+\frac{10 \times 10}{100}=21 \%$
Given, $(21-20) \%=1200$
$
\begin{aligned}
1 \% &=1200 \\
100 \% &=1,20,000
\end{aligned}

What sum of money at compound interest will amount to ₹30,051 in 3 years if the rate of interest is 5% for the 1st year, 6% for the 2nd year and 8% for the 3rd year?
Let
The rate of interest per annum is $r_1$ , $r_2$ , $r_3$ respectively
According to Question
$r_1=5 \%=\frac{1}{20} \quad r_2=6 \%=\frac{3}{50}\quad r_3=8 \%=\frac{2}{25}$
First-year ratio $=20: 21$
Second year ratio $=50: 53$
Third year ratio $=25: 27$
Ratio of principle to Amount $=20 \times 50 \times 25: 21 \times 53 \times 27$ $=25000: 30051$
If the Amount is $=Rs. 30,051$
Then Principle $=Rs. 25,000$
A sum of ₹8,400 is divided between A and B such that A's share at the end of 2 years is equal to B 's share at the end of $2 \frac{2}{3} $ years at 15% p.a., interest compounded 8-monthly. What is A's share (in ₹) in the given sum?
Rate for 8 months $=15 \% \times \frac{8}{12}=10 \%$
Let share of $A$ is $=A$
2 years $=24$ months $=8 \times 3$ months
$n=3$
After 2 years share of $A=A\left(1+\frac{10}{100}\right)^3$
Let share of $B$ is $=B$
$2 \frac{2}{3}$ years $=32$ months $=8 \times 4$ months
$n=3$
After $2 \frac{2}{3}$ years share of $B=B\left(1+\frac{10}{100}\right)^4$
A : B
$\mathrm{A}\left(1+\frac{10}{100}\right)^3: \mathrm{B}\left(1+\frac{10}{100}\right)^4$
$\frac{A}{B}=\left(1+\frac{10}{100}\right)$
$\frac{A}{B}=\frac{11}{10}$
A = $11x$
B = $10x$
$21x$ = ₹ $8,400$
$x$ = ₹ $400$
Share of A = $11x$
$=11 \times $₹ $400$
= ₹ $4,400$
Find the compound interest on ₹ 20,000 at 9% per annum for one year and 4 months, compound annually.
Principal $=$₹ 20,000
Rate $=9 \%$ p.a.
Time $=1$ year and 4 months
Compound interest for 1 year $=9 \%$ of ₹ 20,000=₹ 1800
After 1 year amount $=$₹ 21,800
Compound interest for 4 months
Rate $=9 \% \times \frac{4}{12}=3 \%$
Principal = ₹ 21,800
Compound interest for 4 months = 3% of ₹ 21,800 = ₹ 654
Total compound interest for 1 year and 4 months $=$₹ 1800+₹ 654 = ₹ 2,454
$
\begin{aligned}
&2 \text { year } \mathrm{Cl} \text { and SI difference }=\frac{r^2}{100} \% \\
&=\frac{5^2}{100} \% \\
&=0.25 \% \text { of } 6,000 \\
&\text { = ₹ } 15 \\

R1 = 8%
R2 = 10%
R3 = 12%
Total interest in $\%=\mathrm{R} 1+\mathrm{R} 2+\mathrm{R} 3+\frac{R 1 R 2+R 2 R 3+R 3 R 1}{100}+\frac{R 1 R 2 R 3}{10000}$
$=8 \%+10 \%+12 \%+\frac{8 \%+10 \%+12 \%}{100}+\frac{8 \times 10 \times 12}{10000}$
$=33.056 \%$
Compound interest in Rupees =33.056 % of ₹ 10,000
=₹ 3,305.6
Simple interest at $5 \%=\frac{14000 \times 5 \times 3}{100}=$₹ 2100
Simple interest at $6 \%=\frac{19000 \times 6 \times 3}{100}=$₹ 3420
Total income from the interest in 3 years $=2100+3420=$₹ 5520
Let the principle be x
so, amount be 2x
Interest = 2x-x = x
$\mathrm{X}=\frac{x \times 6 \times r}{100}$
$\mathrm{r}=\frac{50}{3} \%$
When amount is = 5x
Interest = 5x-x = 4x
$4 \mathrm{x}=\frac{x \times t \times 50}{100 \times 3}$
$\mathrm{t}=24$ years
$
\begin{aligned}
&\text { Rate }=\frac{16}{2}=8 \% \\
&\text { Amount }=\mathrm{P}\left(1+\frac{r}{100}\right)^t \\
&5832=5000\left(1+\frac{8}{100}\right)^t \\
&\frac{5832}{5000}=\left(\frac{54}{50}\right)^t \\
&\left(\frac{54}{50}\right)^2=\left(\frac{54}{50}\right)^t \\
&\mathrm{~T}=2
\end{aligned}
$
Interest is compounded half yearly
So required time $=\frac{2}{1}=2$
Difference between CI and SI for 2 year $=\mathrm{P}\left(\frac{r}{100}\right)^2$
$\mathrm{P}\left(\frac{r}{100}\right)^2=152$
$\mathrm{P}\left(\frac{5}{100}\right)^2=152$
$\mathrm{P} \times \frac{1}{20} \times \frac{1}{20}=152$
$\mathrm{P}=152 \times 20 \times 20$
$\mathrm{P}=$₹ 60800
