Answer: Option A. -> Rs. 14705.24

Answer : Option A

Explanation :

$MF#%\text{Amount after 3 years = }\text{P}\left(1 + \dfrac{\text{R}}{100}\right)^\text{T} = 40000\left(1 + \dfrac{11}{100}\right)^3 \\\\= 40000\left(\dfrac{111}{100}\right)^3 = \dfrac{40000 \times 111 \times 111 \times 111}{100 \times 100 \times 100} = \dfrac{4\times 111 \times 111 \times 111}{ 100} = 54705.24$MF#%
Compound Interest = 54705.24 - 40000 = Rs. 14705.24


Question 632.
What annual payment will discharge a debt of Rs.7620 due in 3years at 20/3% per annum interest?



  1.    3400
  2.    3410
  3.    3430
  4.    3450
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 3430


Let each installment be Rs.x
(P.W. of Rs.x due 1yr hence)+(P.W of Rs.x due 2yr hence)+(P.W of Rs. X due 3yr hence)=7620.
x/(1+(50/3*100))+ x/(1+(50/3*100))^2 + x/(1+(50/3*100))^3=7620
(6x/7)+(936x/49)+(216x/343)=7620
294x+252x+216x=7620*343
x=(7620*343/762)=3430
Amount of each installment=Rs.3430



Question 633.
What is the difference between the compound interests on Rs. 5000 for 11⁄2 years at 4% per annum compounded yearly and half-yearly?
  1.    Rs. 2.04
  2.    Rs. 4.80
  3.    Rs. 3.06
  4.    Rs. 8.30
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Rs. 2.04

Answer : Option A

Explanation :

Amount after 11⁄2 years when interest is compounded yearly
$MF#%= 5000 \times \left(1 + \dfrac{4}{100}\right)^1\times \left(1 + \dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2} \times 4}{100}\right)
= 5000 \times \dfrac{104}{100} \times \left(1 + \dfrac{2}{100}\right) \\\\ = 5000 \times \dfrac{104}{100} \times \dfrac{102}{100} = 50 \times 104 \times \dfrac{51}{50} \\\\ = 104 \times 51 = \text{Rs. }5304$MF#%
Compound Interest for 1 1⁄2 years when interest is compounded yearly
= Rs.(5304 - 5000)
Amount after 11⁄2 years when interest is compounded half-yearly
$MF#%= \text{P}\left(1 + \dfrac{\text{(R/2)}}{100}\right)^\text{2T} = 5000\left(1 + \dfrac{(4/2)}{100}\right)^{2 \times \frac{3}{2}} = 5000\left(1 + \dfrac{2}{100}\right)^3\\\\ = 5000\left(\dfrac{102}{100}\right)^3 = 5000\left(\dfrac{102}{100}\right)\left(\dfrac{102}{100}\right)\left(\dfrac{102}{100}\right) = 50 \times 102 \times \dfrac{51}{50}\times \dfrac{51}{50} \\\\ = 102 \times 51 \times \dfrac{51}{50} = 51 \times 51 \times \dfrac{51}{25} = \text{Rs. } 5306.04$MF#%
Compound Interest for 1 1⁄2 years when interest is compounded half-yearly
= Rs.(5306.04 - 5000)
Difference in the compound interests = (5306.04 - 5000) - (5304 - 5000) = 5306.04 - 5304 = Rs. 2.04


Question 634. The time in which Rs.80,000 amounts to Rs.92,610 at 10% p.a. compound interest, interest being compounded semi annually is :
  1.    3 years
  2.    1$1/2$ years
  3.    2$1/2$ years
  4.    2 years
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 1$1/2$ years
Answer: (b)Using Rule 1 and 2,Time = t half yearand R = 5% per half yearA = P$(1 + R/100)^T$$92610/80000 = (1 + 5/100)^T$$9261/8000 = (21/20)^T$T = 3 half years or 1$1/2$ years$(21/20)^3 = (21/20)^T$
Question 635. At what rate per cent per annum will a sum of Rs.1,000 amounts to Rs.1,102.50 in 2 years at compound interest ?
  1.    6.5%
  2.    5%
  3.    6%
  4.    5.5%
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 5%
Answer: (b)Using Rule 1,A = P$(1 + R/100)^T$Let rate be 'r'${1102.50}/1000 = (1 + r/100)^2$$11025/10000 = (1 + r/100)^2$$(105/100)^2 = (1 + r/100)^2$1 + $r/100 = 105/100$$r/100 = 5/100$ = 5%
Question 636. In what time will Rs.1000 amounts to Rs.1331 at 20% per annum, compounded half yearly ?
  1.    2$1/2$ years
  2.    1$1/2$ years
  3.    1 year
  4.    2 years
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 1$1/2$ years
Answer: (b)Using Rule 1 and 2,Let the required time be t years. Interest is compounded half yearly.Time = 2t half years and rate= $20/2$ = 10%1000$(1 + 10/100)^{2t}$ = 1331$(11/10)^{2t} = 1331/1000$$(11/10)^{2t} = (11/10)^3$ ⇒ 2t = 3t = $3/2$ years or 1$1/2$ years

  1.    2$1/2$ years
  2.    1$1/2$ years
  3.    2$1/3$ years
  4.    1$2/3$ years
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 1$1/2$ years
Answer: (b)Using Rule 1 and 2,Rate = 10% per annum = 5% half yearlyA = P$(1 + R/100)^T$926.10 = 800$(1 + 5/100)^T$$9261/8000 = (21/20)^T$$(21/20)^3 = (21/20)^T$Time = 3 half years = 1$1/2$ years
Question 638. If the rate of interest be 4% per annum for first year, 5% per annum for second year and 6% per annum for third year, then the compound interest of Rs.10,000 for 3 years will be
  1.    Rs.2,000
  2.    Rs.1,600
  3.    Rs.1,575.20
  4.    Rs.1,625.80
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Rs.1,575.20
Answer: (c)Using Rule 3,If there are distinct 'rates of interest' for distinct time periods i.e.,Rate for 1st year → $r_1$%Rate for 2nd year → $r_2$%Rate for 3rd year → $r_3$% and so onThen A = P$(1 + r_1/100)(1 + r_2/100)(1 + r_3/100)$...C.I. = A - P

  4.    4 years
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 2 years
Answer: (c)Using Rule 1,A = P$(1 + R/100)^T$30000 + 4347 = $30000(1 + 7/100)^T$$34347/30000 = (107/100)^T$$11449/10000 = (107/100)^2 = (107/100)^T$Time = 2 years

 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Rs.5,000
Answer: (b)Using Rule 1,5832 = P$(1 + 8/100)^2$5832 = P$(1 + 2/25)^2$5832 = P $× 27/25 × 27/25$P = ${5832 × 25 × 25}/{27 × 27}$ = Rs.5000
