Question 831. An amount of money appreciates to Rs.7,000 after 4 years and to Rs.10,000 after 8 years at a certain compound interest compounded annually. The initial amount of money was
  1.    Rs.4,300
  2.    Rs.4,700
  3.    Rs.4,100
  4.    Rs.4,900
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Rs.4,900
Answer: (d)A = P$(1 + R/100)^T$7000 = P$(1 + R/100)^4$....(i)10000 = P$(1 + R/100)^8$.......(ii)Dividing equation (ii) by (i)$10000/7000 = (1 + R/100)^4$$10/7 = (1 + R/100)^4$From equation (i),7000 = P × $10/7$ ⇒ P = Rs.4900Using Rule 7(iii),Here, b - a = 8 - 4 = 4B = Rs.10,000, A = Rs.7000R% = $((B/A)^{1/n} - 1)$ × 100%R% = $[(10000/7000)^{1/4} - 1]$= $[(10/7)^{1/4} - 1]$$1 + R/100 = (10/7)^{1/4}$$(1 + R/100)^4 = 10/7$7000 = $P × 10/7$Since, Amount = P$(1 + R/100)^4$P = Rs.4900
Question 832. The difference between simple and compound interest compounded annually, on a certain sum of money for 2 years at 4% per annum is 1. The sum (in ) is :
  1.    640
  2.    650
  3.    625
  4.    630
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 625
Answer: (c)Using Rule 6,The difference between compound interest and simple interest for two years= ${\text"Principal" × (Rate)^2}/{100 × 100}$1 = ${\text"Principal" × (4)^2}/10000$Principal = $10000/16$ = Rs.625
Question 833. Find the difference between the compound interest and the simple interest on 32,000 at 10% p.a. for 4 years.
  1.    2501.20

  3.    2025.20
  4.    2052.50
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 2051.20
Answer: (b)Using Rule 1,S.I. = $\text"Principal × Time × Rate"/100$= ${32000 × 4 × 10}/100$ = Rs.12800C.I. = P$[(1 + R/100)^4 - 1]$= 32000$[(1 + 10/100)^4 - 1]$= 32000 $[(1.1)^4$ - 1]= 32000 (1.4641 - 1)= 32000 × 0.4641= Rs.14851.2Required difference= 14851.2 - 12800 = Rs.2051.2
Question 834. If the difference between S.I. and C.I. for 2 years on a sum of money lent at 5% is 6, then the sum is
  1.    2000
  2.    2200
  3.    2600
  4.    2400
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 2400
Answer: (d)Using Rule 6,The difference between C.I. and S.I. on a sum 'P' in 2 years at the rate of R% rate of compound interest will beC.I - S.I. = P$(R/100)^2 = {S.I. × R}/200$ For 3 years, C.I. - S.I. = P$(R/100)^2 × (3 + R/100)$
Question 835. The difference between the compound and the simple interest on a sum for 2 years at 10% per annum, when the interest is compounded annually, is 28. If the interest were compounded halfyearly, the difference in the two interests will be
  1.    43.29
  2.    44
  3.    43.41
  4.    28.35
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 43.41
Answer: (c)Using Rule 6,The difference between C.I. and S.I. on a sum 'P' in 2 years at the rate of R% rate of compound interest will beC.I - S.I. = P$(R/100)^2 = {S.I. × R}/200$ For 3 years, C.I. - S.I. = P$(R/100)^2 × (3 + R/100)$
Question 836. What sum will give 244 as the difference between simple interest and compound interest at 10% in 1 1 2 years compounded half yearly ?
  1.    28,000
  2.    40,000
  3.    32,000
  4.    36,000
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 32,000
Answer: (c)Using Rule 6,Time = $3/2 × 2 = 3$ half yearsRate = $10/2$ = 5% per half year[Since, when r → $r/2$, then t → 2t]Difference = P$(r^3/1000000 + {3r^2}/10000)$244 = P$(125/1000000 + 75/10000)$244 = P$(7625/1000000)$P = ${244 × 1000000}/7625$ = Rs.32000
Question 837. On a certain sum of money lent out at 16% p.a. the difference between the compound interest for 1 year, payable half yearly, and the simple interest for 1 year is 56. The sum is
  1.    5780
  2.    1080
  3.    8750
  4.    7805
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 8750
Answer: (c)Using Rule 6,Rate of interest = 8% per halfyearTime = 2 half yearsDifference of interests = ${PR^2}/100$56 = $P × (8)^2/(100)^2$P = ${56 × 10000}/64$ = 8750

  4.    45
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 4
Answer: (a)S.I. = Rs.${2500 × 2 × 4}/100$ = Rs.200C.I. = Rs.2500$[(1 + 4/100)^2 - 1]$= Rs.2500$[(26/25)^2 - 1]$= Rs.${(676 - 625)}/625$ × 2500= Rs.$51/625 × 2500$ = Rs.204The required difference= C.I. - S.I. = Rs.(204 - 200) = Rs.4Using Rule 6,Here, C.I. - S.I.= ?, P = Rs.2500, R = 4%, T = 2C.I. - S.I.= P$(R/100)^2$= 2500$(4/100)^2$= 2500 × $1/25 × 1/25$C.I.–S.I. = Rs.4

 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 330.75
Answer: (c)Using Rule 1,If A = Amount, P = Principal, r = Rate of Compound Interest (C.I.), n = no. of years then,A=P$(1 + r/100)^n$, C.I. = A - PC.I. = P$[(1 + r/100)^n - 1]$
