(g) ₹ 20,000 at 9% p.a. in 2.1/3 years.

(h) ₹ 25,000 at 8.2/5% p.a. in 1.1/3  years.

Answer

(a) From the question it is given that,

Principal, P = ₹ 7,500, Rate, r = 12% p.a., Time, t = 3 years

For the first year, t = 1 year

We know that, S.I. = (P × r × t)/100

= (7,500 × 12 × 1)/100

= ₹ 900

Then, A = P + S.I.

= 7,500 + 900

= ₹ 8,400

Therefore, new principal is ₹ 8,400.

Now, for the second year, t = 1 year, p = ₹ 8,400

S.I. = (P × r × t)/100

= (8,400 × 12 × 1)/100

= ₹ 1,008

Then, A = P + S.I.

= 8,400 + 1,008

= ₹ 9,408

Therefore, new principal is ₹ 9,408.

Now, for the second year, t = 1 year, p = ₹ 9,408

S.I. = (P × r × t)/100

= (9,408 × 12 × 1)/100

= ₹ 1,128.96

Then, A = P + S.I.

= 9,408 + 1,128.96

= ₹ 10,536.96

We know that,

C.I. = Interest in first year + interest in second year + interest in third year

= ₹ (900 + 1,008 + 1,128.96)

= ₹ 3,036.96

(b) ₹ 13,500 at 10% p.a. in 2 years.

From the question it is given that,

Principal, P = ₹ 13,500, Rate, r = 10% p.a., Time, t = 2 years

For the first year, t = 1 year

We know that, S.I. = (P × r × t)/100

= (13,500 × 10 × 1)/100

= ₹ 1,350

Then, A = P + S.I.

= 13,500 + 1,350

= ₹ 14,850

Therefore, new principal is ₹ 14,850.

Now, for the second year, t = 1 year, p = ₹ 14,850

S.I. = (P × r × t)/100

= (14,850 × 10 × 1)/100

= ₹ 1,485

Then, A = P + S.I.

= 14,850 + 1,485

= ₹ 16,335

We know that,

C.I. = Interest in first year + interest in second year

= ₹ (1,350 + 1,485)

= ₹ 2,835

(c) ₹ 17,500 at 12% p.a. in 3 years.

From the question it is given that,

Principal, P = ₹ 17,500, Rate, r = 12% p.a., Time, t = 3 years

For the first year, t = 1 year

We know that, S.I. = (P × r × t)/100

= (17,500 × 12 × 1)/100

= ₹ 2,100

Then, A = P + S.I.

= 17,500 + 2,100

= ₹ 19,600

Therefore, new principal is ₹ 19,600.

Now, for the second year, t = 1 year, p = ₹ 19,600

S.I. = (P × r × t)/100

= (8,400 × 12 × 1)/100

= ₹ 1,008

Then, A = P + S.I.

= 19,600 + 2,352

= ₹ 21,952

Therefore, new principal is ₹ 21,952.

Now, for the second year, t = 1 year, p = ₹ 21,952

S.I. = (P × r × t)/100

= (21,952 × 12 × 1)/100

= ₹ 2,634.24

Then, A = P + S.I.

= 21,952 + 2,634.24

= ₹ 7,086.24

We know that,

C.I. = Interest in first year + interest in second year + interest in third year

= ₹ (2,100 + 2,352 + 2,634.24)

= ₹ 7,086.24

(d) ₹ 23,750 at 12% p.a. in 2½ years.

From the question it is given that,

Principal, P = ₹ 23,750, Rate, r = 12% p.a., Time, t = 2½ years

For the first year, t = 1 year

We know that, S.I. = (P × r × t)/100

= (23,750 × 12 × 1)/100

= ₹ 2,850

Then, A = P + S.I.

= 23,750 + 2,850

= ₹ 26,600

Therefore, new principal is ₹ 26,600.

Now, for the second year, t = 1 year, p = ₹ 26,600

S.I. = (P × r × t)/100

= (26,600 × 12 × 1)/100

= ₹ 3,192

Then, A = P + S.I.

= 26,600 + 3,192

= ₹ 29,792

Therefore, new principal is ₹ 29,792.

Now, for the third year, t = ½ year, p = ₹ 29,792.

S.I. = (P × r × t)/100

= (29,792 × 12 × 1)/(100 × 2)

= ₹ 1,787.52

Then, A = P + S.I.

= 29,792 + 1,787.52

= ₹ 31,579.52

We know that,

C.I. = Interest in first year + interest in second year + interest in third year

= ₹ (2,850 + 3,192 + 1,787.52)

= ₹ 7,829.52

(e) ₹ 30,000 at 8% p.a. in 2½ years.

= 30,000 + 2,400

= ₹ 32,400

Therefore, new principal is ₹ 32,400.

Now, for the second year, t = 1 year, p = ₹ 32,400

S.I. = (P × r × t)/100

= (32,400 × 8 × 1)/100

= ₹ 2,592

Then, A = P + S.I.

= 32,400 + 2,592

= ₹ 34,992

Therefore, new principal is ₹ 34,992.

Now, for the third year, t = ½ year, p = ₹ 34,992.

S.I. = (P × r × t)/100

= (34,992 × 8 × 1)/(100 × 2)

= ₹ 1,399.68

Then, A = P + S.I.

= 34,992 + 1,399.68

= ₹ 36,391.68

We know that,

C.I. = Interest in first year + interest in second year + interest in third year

= ₹ (2,400 + 2,592 + 1,399.68)

= ₹ 6,391.68

(f) ₹ 10,000 at 8% p.a. in 2¼ years.

From the question it is given that,

Principal, P = ₹ 10,000, Rate, r = 8% p.a., Time, t = 2¼ years

For the first year, t = 1 year

We know that, S.I. = (P × r × t)/100

= (10,000 × 8 × 1)/100

= ₹ 800

Then, A = P + S.I.

= 10,000 + 800

= ₹ 10,800

Therefore, new principal is ₹ 10,800.

Now, for the second year, t = 1 year, p = ₹ 10,800

S.I. = (P × r × t)/100

= (10,800 × 8 × 1)/100

= ₹ 864

Then, A = P + S.I.

= 10,800 + 864

= ₹ 11,664

Therefore, new principal is ₹ 11,664.

Now, for the third year, t = ½ year, p = ₹ 11,664.

S.I. = (P × r × t)/100

= (11,664 × 8 × 1)/(100 × 4)

= ₹ 233.28

Then, A = P + S.I.

= 11,664 + 233.28

= ₹ 11,897.28

We know that,

C.I. = Interest in first year + interest in second year + interest in third year

= ₹ (800 + 864 + 233.28)

= ₹ 1,897.28

= ₹ 23,762

Therefore, new principal is ₹ 23,762.

Now, for the third year, t = 1/3 year, p = ₹ 23,762.

S.I. = (P × r × t)/100

= (23,762 × 9 × 1)/(100 × 3)

= ₹ 712.86

Then, A = P + S.I.

= 23,762 + 712.86

= ₹ 24,474.86

We know that,

C2 = (P × r × t)/100

= (69,000 × 15 × 1)/100

= ₹ 10,350

Then, P2 = 69,000 + 10,350

= ₹ 79,350

C3 = (P × r × t)/100

= (79,350 × 15 × 1)/100

8Gayatri invested ₹ 25,000 for 3 years and 6 months in a bank which paid 10% p.a. compound interest. Calculate the amount, to the nearest Ts.10, that she received at the end of the period.

Answer

From the question it is given that,

Gayatri invested ₹ 25,000 for 3 years and 6 months in a bank which paid 10% p.a.

C1 = (P × r × t)/100

= (25,000 × 10 × 1)/100

= ₹ 2,500

Then, P1 = 25,000 + 2,500

= ₹ 27,500

C2 = (P × r × t)/100

= (27,500 × 10 × 1)/100

= ₹ 2,750

Then, P2 = 27,500 + 2,750

= ₹ 30,250

C3 = (P × r × t)/100

= (30,250 × 10 × 1)/100

= ₹ 3,025

Then, P3 = 30,250 + 3,025

= ₹ 33,275

C4 = (P × r × t)/100

= (33,275 × 10 × 1)/100

= ₹ 1,663.75

Then, P4 = 33,275 + 1,663.75

= ₹ 34,940


9. Prerna borrowed ₹ 16,000 from a friend at 15% p.a. Compound interest. Find the amount, to the nearest rupees, that she needs to return at the end of 2.4 years to clear the debt.

Answer

From the question it is given that,

Prerna borrowed ₹ 16,000 from a friend at 15% p.a.

C1 = (P × r × t)/100

= (16,000 × 15 × 1)/100

= ₹ 2,400

Then, P1 = 16,000 + 2,400

= ₹ 18,400

C2 = (P × r × t)/100

= (18,400 × 15 × 1)/100

= ₹ 2,760

Then, P2 = 18,400 + 2,760

= ₹ 21,160

C3 = (P × r × t)/100

= (21,160 × 15 × 1)/400

= ₹ 7,935

Then, P3 = 21,160 + 7,935

= ₹ 29,095

From the question it is given that,

Amita needed = ₹ 40,000

Where, p = ₹ 40,000, t = 1 ½ years = 2 years, r = 10% p.a.

Amount = P(1 + r/100)2t

Amount = 40,000 (1 + (10/200))4

= ₹ 48,620.25

Hence, Amita has to pay ₹ 48,620.25 at the end of two years to clear her debt.


14. Pradeep gave ₹ 16,000 to a friend for 1.5 years at 15% p.a. compounded semi-annually. Find the interest earned by him at the end of 1.5 years.

Pradeep gave ₹ 16,000 to a friend for 1.5 years at 15% p.a.

Where, p = ₹ 16,000, t = 1.5 years, r = 15% p.a.

Amount = P(1 + r/100)2t

Amount = 16,000 (1 + (15/200))3

= ₹ 19,876.75

Then, C = 19,876 – 16,000

= ₹ 3,876.75

Therefore, the interest earned by Pradeep at the end of 1.5 years is ₹ 3,876.75.
