Compound Interest Exercise 2(a) Solution :

Question no – (1) 

Solution : 

Given, Principle = ₹10000

Rate% p.a. = 12%

Number of years = 2

Now, Amount = p(1 + r/100)2

= 10,000 (1 + 12/100)2

= 10,000 (100 + 12/100)2

= 10,000 × 112 × 112/100 × 100

= 12544

Compound interest.

= (12544 – 10,000)Rs

= 2544 Rs

Hence, the compound interest will be 2544 Rs.

Question no – (2) 

Solution : 

In the given question,

Principle = ₹5000,

Rate% p.a. = 10%

Number of years = 2

Amount after 2 years. 

= 5000 (1 + 10/100)2

= 5000 (100 + 10/100)2

= 5000 × 110 × 110/100 × 100 × 100

= 1210 Rs × 5

= 6050 Rs

Compound interest, 

= (6050 – 5000) Rs

= 1050 Rs

Therefore, the compound interest will be 1050 Rs.

Question no – (3) 

Solution :

As per the question,

Principle = Rs 2800

Rate% p.a. = 10%

Number of years = 1 1/2

Amount,

= 2800 (1 + 10/100)1/2

= 2800 (1 + 10/100)3/2

= 2800 (100 + 10/100)3/2

= 2800 × (110/100)3/2

= 2800 × (11/10)2×3/2

= 2800 × 11 × 11 × 11/10 × 10 × 10

= 3726.80 Rs

Compound interest,

= (3726.8 – 2800) Rs

= 926.8 Rs

Thus, the compound interest will be 926.8 Rs

Question no – (4) 

Solution :

Given, Principle = Rs 2000

Rate% p.a. = 20%

Number of years = 2

Amount, 

= 2000 (1 + 20/100)2

= 2000 (100 + 20/100)2

= 2000 × 120 × 120/100 × 100

= 1440 Rs × 2

= 2880Rs

 Compound interest, 

= (2880 – 2000) Rs

= 880 Rs

Thus, the Compound interest will be 880 Rs.

Question no – (5) 

Solution :

Here, Principal = 20480 Rs

rate  = 6 1/4% 25/4

Time = 2 year 73 days

= 3 year × 73 days

= 2 year × 73/365

= 2 1/5 year

= 1155 year

After 1 year amount will be, 

= 20480 + (20480 × 25 × 1/4 × 100)

= 20480 + 1280

= 21760 Rs

After 2nd year amount will be, 

= 21760 + (21760 × 25 × 1/4 × 100)

= (21760 + 1360)

= 23120 Rs

After 1/5 year amount will be, 

= (23120 + 23120 × 25 × 1/4 × 100 × 5)

= (23120 + 289) Rs

= 23409 Rs

 Compound interest, 

= (23409 – 2-480) Rs

= 2929

Therefore, the compound interest will be 2929 Rs.

Question no – (6) 

Solution :

As per the question,

Principal = Rs 15625

Rate = 4% per annum

Time = 3 years

Amount × (1 + 4/100)3

= 15625 × (100 + 4/100)3

= 15625 × 104 × 104 × 104/100 × 100 × 100

= 18756 Rs

Therefore, the required amount will be 18756 Rs

Question no – (7) 

Solution :

Anurag will have to pay after 3 years,

= 8000 (1 + 5/100)3

= 8000 × (105/100)3

= 8000 × 21 × 21 × 21/20 × 20 × 20

= 9261 Rs

Hence, after 3 years Anurag will pay Rs 9261

Question no – (8) 

Solution :

Amount in 2nd year, 

= 93750. (1 + 9.6/100)2

= 93750 × (109.6/100)2

= 112614 Rs

Amount in 3rd year, 

= 93750 × (1 + 9.6/100)3

= 93750 × (1 + 9.6/100)3

= 12342.94 Rs

Compound Interest in 3rd year, 

= (123424.94 – 112614)

= 10810.94 Rs

Question no – (9) 

Solution : 

(i) What is the sum due at the end of the first year?

At the end of 1st year amount

= 9600 + (9604 × 10/100)

= (9600 + 960) Rs

= 10560 Rs

(ii) What is the sum due at the end of the second year?

Sum of end of 2nd year

= 10560 + (10560 × 10/100) Rs

= 10560 + 1056

= 11616 Rs

(iii) Find the compound interest earned in the first 2 years.

1st 2 year compound interest earned

= (11616 – 9600) Rs

= 2016 Rs

(iv) Find the compound interest at the end of 3 years.

At end of 3 year Amount

= 11616 + (11616 × 10/100) Rs

= 11616 + 1161.6

= 12777.6 Rs

Question no – (10) 

Solution : 

(i) Find the compound interest after one year.

Amount after one year = 10,000 (1 + 10/100)1

= 10,000 × 110/100

= 11000 Rs

∴ Compound Interest = (11000 – 10,000) Rs

= 1000 Rs

(ii) Find the compound interest for 2 years.

2 years amount = 11000 + 11000 ∴ 10/100

= 11000 + 1100

= 12100 Rs

Interest = (12100 – 10000)

= 2100

(iii) Find the sum of money required to clear the debt at the end of 2 years.

= Sum of money 1200 to clear the debt at the end of 2 years.

(iv) Find the difference between the compound interest and the simple interest at the same rate for 2 years.

S.I of 2 years = (10,000 × 10 × 2/100) Rs

= 2000 Rs

C.I of 2 years = 2100 Rs

∴ Difference if C.I and S.I

= (2100 – 2000) Rs

= 100 Rs

Question no – (11) 

Solution : 

Here, rate = 12%/2 = 6%

time = 1 year = 2 half/years

Amount = 5000 (1 + 6/100)²

= 5000 (106/100)²

= 5000 × 53/50 × 53/50

= 561 Rs

Compound Interest,

= (5618 – 5000) Rs

= 618 Rs.

Therefore, the compound interest will be 618 Rs.

Question no – (12) 

Solution : 

According to the question,

rate = 10% = 10/2 = 5%

time = 1 1/2% = 3/2 year, 1 and half year

 Amount,

= 16000 (1 + 5/100)3

= 16000 × (105/100)3

= 16000 × 21/20 × 21/20 × 21/20

= 185222 Rs

 Compound Interest,

= (18522 – 16000) Rs

= 2522 Rs.

Thus, the amount is Rs 185222 and the and the compound interest is Rs. 2522

Question no – (13) 

Solution : 

Amount,

= 43,000 (1 + 7/100) (1 + 2/100)

= 40,000 × 107/100 × 108/100

= 46224 Rs

Compound Interest after 2 year,

= (46224 – 40,000) Rs

= 6,224 Rs

Therefore, the due amount will be 46224 Rs and C.I will be 6,224 Rs.

Question no – (14) 

Solution : 

Let, Principal = P

I = PRT/100 …(we know)

= PRT = I × 100

= P = 50 × 100/5 × 2

= 500

 Amount in C.I

= 500 (1 + 5/100)2

= 500 × 105 × 105/100 × 100

= 551.25 Rs

 Compound Interest, 

= (551.25 – 500) Rs

= 51.25 Rs

Thus, the compound interest will be 51.25 Rs

Question no – (15) 

Solution : 

(i) the interest for the 1st year;

Amount in 1 st year

= (46875 + 46875 × 4/100)

= 46875 + 1875

= 48750 Rs

Compound Interest

= (48750 – 46875) Rs

= 1875 Rs

(ii) the amount standing to his credit at the end of the 2nd year;

2nd year amount

= 48750 + (48750 × 4/100)

= 48750 + 1950

= 50700 Rs

(iii) the interest for the 3rd year.

3rd year Interest

= 50700 × 4/100

= 2028 Rs

Compound Interest Exercise 2(b) Solution :

Solution : 

As per the given question,

Principal = Rs 625

Rate of interest = 4%p.a

Time = 2 year

Amount,

= 625 (1 + 4/100)²

= 625 (104/100)²

= 625 × 104 × 104/100 × 100

= 676 Rs

Compound interest,

= (625 – 625) Rs

= 51 Rs

Therefore, the amount will be 676 Rs ands C.I will be 51 Rs

Question no – (2) 

Solution : 

Form the question we know,

Principal = Rs 8000

Rate of interest = 15%p.a

Time = 3 year

Now Amount, 

= 8000 (1 + 15/100)3

= 8000 (1115/100)3

= 8000 × (23/20)3

= 8000 × 23 × 23 × 23/20 × 20 × 20

= 12167 Rs

 Compound interest, 

= (12167 – 8000)

= 4167 Rs

Thus, the amount will be 12167 Rs and the compound interest will be 4167 Rs.

Question no – (3) 

Solution : 

Given in the question,

Principal = Rs 1000

Rate of interest = 10%p.a

Time = 3 year

Now Amount,

= 1000 (1 + 10/100)3

= 1000 (110/100)3

= 1000 × 11 × 11 × 11/10 × 10 × 10

= 1331 Rs

 Compound Interest,

= (1331 – 1000)

= 331 Rs

Hence, Thus, the amount is Rs 1331 and the compound interest is 331 Rs.

Question no – (4) 

Solution : 

Given, Principal = Rs 8000

Rate of interest = 10% half yearly

Time = 1 1/3 year

Now Amount, 

= 8000 (1 + 10 10/2 × 100)

= 8000 (1 + 5/100)3

= 80000 (105/100)3

= 8000 × 105 × 105 × 105/100 × 100 × 100

= 9261 Rs

 Compound Interest, 

= (9261 – 8000)

= 1261 Rs

Therefore, the amount will be 9261 and the compound interest will be 1261 Rs.

Question no – (5) 

Solution : 

Given in the question,

Principal = Rs 700

Rate of interest = 20% half yearly

Time = 1 1/2 year

 Amount, 

= 700 (1 + 10/100)3

= 700 (110/100)3

= 700 × (11/10)3

= 700 × 11 × 11 × 11/10 × 10 × 10

= 931.7 Rs

 Compound Interest,

= (7000  – 931.7)

=  231.7 Rs

Thus, the amount will be 931.7 and the compound interest will be 231.7 Rs.

Question no – (6) 

Solution : 

According to the question,

Principal = 40960

rate = 12.5 % = 12 1/2% = 25/2%

time = 1 1/2 year

Now Amount

= 40960 (1 + 25/22.2 × 100)3

= 40960 (1 + 1/16)3

= 40960 (17/16)3

= 40960 × 17 × 17 × 17/16 × 16 × 16

= 49130 Rs

 Compound Interest, 

= (49130 – 40960) Rs

= 8170 Rs

Therefore, Amar will pay 8170 Rs after 1 1/2 years.

Question no – (7) 

Solution : 

First, Sudhir Amount, 

= 2000 (1 + 10/100)1

= 2000 × 110/100 × 1

= 2200 Rs

 Interest,

= (2200 – 2000) Rs

= 200 Rs

Now, Prashant Amount, 

= 2000 (1 + 5/100)2

= 2000 (1 + 1/20)2

= 2000 (1 + 1/20)2

= 2000 × 21 × 21/20 × 20

= 2205 Rs

 Compound interest, 

= (2205 – 2000) Rs

= 205 Rs

Now, the difference, 

=  (200 – 205)

= 5 Rs

Hence, the difference in the interest receive by them will be 5 Rs.

Question no – (8) 

Solution : 

As per the question,

Amount = Rs 25000

Time = 2 years

Rate = 4 and 5 per cent per year

Amount, 

= 25000 (1 + 4/100) (1 + 5/100)

= 25000 × 104/100 × 105/100

= 273000 Rs

Thus, the amount will be 273000 Rs.

Question no – (9) 

Solution : 

First, the Amount,

= 40,000 (1 + 5/100) (1 + 10/100) (1 + 15/100)

= 40,000 × 105/100 × 110/100 × 115/100

= 53130 Rs

Now, the Profit,

= (53130 – 40,000) Rs

= 13130 Rs

Therefore, the Total Profit will be 13130 Rs.

Question no – (10) 

Solution : 

[Given that (1.0575)40 = 9.35869]

= Here, time = (2008 – 1988)

= 20 year

= 40 half/year

= R = 11.5

= 5.75 and half yearly

Investment Principal = 5000

Amount P (1 + R/100)2

= 500 (1 + 5.75/100)40

= 500 (1 + 70.0575)40

= 46793.45 Rs

Therefore, the Maturity Amount will be 46793.45 Rs.

Question no – (11) 

Solution : 

According to the question, 

Rate = 2 1/2%

= 5/2%

Time = 3 year

After 3 year population will be, 

= P (1 + r/100)3

= 64000 (1 + 5/2 × 100)3

= 64000 (1 + 1/40)3

= 68921

Hence, the number of inhabitants at the end of 3 years will be 68921.

Question no – (12) 

Solution :

As per the given question,

Principal = 1250 Rs

R = 20%

n = 3 month

After 3 month no of stray days,

= P(1 – R/100)n

= 1250 (1 – 20/100)³

= 1250 (80/100)³

= 1250 × 4/5 × 4/5 ×4/5

= 640

Therefore, the number of stray dogs in the city will be 640.

Question no – (13) 

Solution : 

Here, P = 8000 blood donors.

R = 20% per half year

x = 20% per half year = 3/2 year = 3 half year

 After 3 year increased donors, 

= P (1 + R/100)x

= 8000 (1 + 20/100)3

= 8000 (1 + 1/5)3

= 8000 (6/5)3

= 8000 × 6/5 × 6/5 × 6/5

= 13824 donors

 Total number of new registrants will be,

= (14824 – 8000)

= 5824

Therefore, the number of registrants will be 5824.

Compound Interest Exercise 2(c) Solution : 

Question no – (1) 

Solution : 

As we know that, Amount = P (1 + R/100)x

∴ 1323 = P (1 + 5/100)2

= P (105/100)2

= P (21/20)2

= P = 1323 × 20 × 20/21 × 21

= 1200 Rs

Thus, Mohan need invest 1200 Rs.

Question no – (2) 

Solution : 

Let, Sum is P

 Amount = P (1 + R/100)x

= 1352 = P(1 + 4/100)2

= P (1 + 2/100)2

= P (1 + 1/25)2

= p (1 + 26/25)2

= p = 1352 × 25 × 25/26 × 26

= 1250 Rs

Therefore, the required sum will be 1250 Rs.

Question no – (3) 

Solution : 

Here, Amount = 9768 Rs

r1 = 10%

r2 = 11%

Amount = P(1 + r1/100) (1 + r2/100)

= 9768 = p(1 + 10/100) (1 + 11/100)

= 9768 = P (110/100) (111/100)

= P = 9768 × 10/11 × 100/111

= 8000 Rs

Therefore, the Principal will be 8000 Rs.

Question no – (4) 

Solution :

Let, Principal = 100 Rs

t = 2 year

S.I – C.I = 15 Rs

R = 5%

 Simple Interest,

= PRT/100

= 100 × 5 × 5/100

= 10 Rs

Now, Amount C.I,

= P (1 + R/100)x

= 100 (1 + 5/100)

= 100 (105/100)2

= 100 (25/20)2

= 100 × 21 × 21/20 × 20

= 441/4

Now, Compound interest,

= 441/4 – 100

= 441 – 400/4

= 41/4

Compound Interest – Simple Interest,

= 41/4 – 10

= 41 – 40/4

= ¼

Now, if the difference is 1 then Principal,

= 100 × 4/1

= 400 Rs

∴ If the difference is 15 then principal,

= (400 × 15) Rs

= 6000 Rs

Question no – (5) 

Solution :

Let, principal = 100

= R = 6 2/3% = 20/3%

t = 3 years

= S.I = 100 × 20 × 3/100 × 3

= 20 Rs

Amount = P (1 + R/100)x

= 100 (1 + 20/3 × 100)

= 100 (1 + 1/15)3

= 100 × (16/15)3

= 409600/3375

= 16384/135

Compound interest = 16384/135 – 100

= 16384 – 13500/135

= 2884/135 Rs

∴ C.I – S.I

= 12884/135 – 20

= 2884 – 2700/135

= 184/135 Rs

When difference is 184/135,

Principal is 100 × 135/184

and, when difference is 184, the principal is,

= 100 × 135/184 × 184

= 13500 Rs

Question no – (6) 

Solution : 

Let, Principal = 100

t = 2 year

R = 5%

S.I = 100 × 5 × 2/100

= 10 Rs

Amount in C.I = 100 (1 + 5/100)2

= 100 (1 + 1/20)2

= 100 (20 + 1/20)2

= 100 × (21/20)2

= 100 × 21 × 21/20 × 20

= 441/4 Rs

 C.I = 441/4 – 100

= 441- 400/4

= 41/4 Rs

∴ C.I – C.I = 41/4 – 10

= 41 – 40/4

= 1/4

When difference is 1/4 the n principal is 100.

When difference 1 the  principal is,

= 100 × 4/1

= 400

When difference is 50 then principal is,

= (400 × 50)

= 20000 Rs

Question no – (7) 

Solution : 

(i) Principal = ₹ 196, Amount = ₹ 225, time, = 2 years.

Here, P = 196 Rs

= A = 225 Rs

t = 2 year

A = P  (1 + R/100)t

= A/P (1 + R/100)t

= 225/196 (1 + R/100)2

= (15/14)2 = (1 + R/100)2

= 1 + R/100 = 15/14

= R/100 = 15/14 – 1

= 15 – 14/14

= R = 1 × 100/14

= 100/14 = 50/7

= 7 1/7%

(ii) Principal = ₹ 3136, Compound interest = ₹ 345, Time = 2 years.

= P = 3136 Rs

C.I = 345 Rs

t = 2 year

Amount = (3136 + 345)

= 3481 Rs

A = P(1 + R/100)t

= A/P (1 + R/100)t

= 3481/3136 = (1 + R/100)2

= (59/56)2 = (1 + R/100)2

= 1 + R/100 = 59/56 – 1

= 59 – 56/56

= 3/56

= R = 3 × 100/56

= 75/14%

= 5 5/14%

Question no – (8) 

Solution : 

Here, P = 1000

A = 2000

t = 5 year = 10 half years

Amount = P(1 + R/100)t

= A/P = (1 + R/100)t

= 2000/1000 = (1 + R/100)10

= 2/1 = (1 + R/100)10

= 1 + R/100 = 10√2

= R/100 = 10√2 – 1

= R/100 = 0.072

= R = 7.2

 Final Rate, 

= 7.2 × 2

= 14.4%

Therefore, the rate of interest will be 14.4%.

Question no – (9) 

Solution : 

Here, P = 8000

A = 9261 Rs

R = 5%

Amount = p (1 + R/100)2

= A/P = (1 + R/100)2

= 9261/8000 = (1 + 5/100)t

= (1 + 1/20)t

= 9261/8000 (1 + 1/20)t

= (21/20)3 = (21/20)t

t = 3 years

Therefore, the required time will be 3 years.

Question no – (10) 

Solution : 

Here, Amount (A) = p (1 + R/100)x

A = P (1 + R/100)x

= A/P = (1 + R/100)x

= 3993/3000 = (1 + 10/100)x

= (110/100)x

= (1331/1000) = (11/10)x

= (11/10)3 (11/10)x

= x = 3

 Time is 3 years,

= 3/2 year

= 1 1/2 years

 Rate = 20%

= 20/2

= 10% half year.

Question no – (11) 

Solution : 

Here, Amount in 3 year = 614.55 Rs

Amount in 2 year = 578.40 Rs

1 year Interest

= (614.55 – 578.40)

= 36.15 Rs

Rate of interest

= 36.15 × 100/578.40 × 1

= 25/4

= 6 1/4%

Therefore, the rate of interest will be 6 1/4%

Compound Interest Exercise 2(d) Solution : 

Question no – (1) 

Solution : 

After 3 years male it, 

= P (1 – R/100)t

= 18000 (1 – 10/100)3

= 18000 (100 – 10/100)3

= 18000 = 110 × 110 × 110/100 × 100 × 100

= 18000 × 90 × 90 × 90/100 × 100 × 100

= 13122 Rs

Thus, the cost of a machine will be 13122 Rs.

Question no – (2) 

Solution : 

As per the given question,

The population of a town increases by 20% every year

If its present population is 2,16,000

(i) after 2 years,

= After 2 years population will be

= P (1 + R/100)2

= 2,16,000 (1 + 20/100)2

= 216000 (120/100)2

= 216000 (120/100)2

= 216000 × 12/10 × 12/10

= 311040

(ii) 2 years ago.

= 2 years ago population was,

= 2,16,000 (1 – 20/100)2

= 2,16,000 (1 – 1/5)2

= 2,16,000 (5 – 1/5)2

= 2, 16,000 (5 – 1/5)2

= 2,16,000 × 4/5 × 4/5

= 1500000

Question no – (3) 

Solution : 

(i) In 1979, value was, 

= 18400 (1 – 8/100)

t = yr

R = 8%

= 184000 (1 – 2/25)

= 18400 × 23/25

= 16928 Rs

(ii) in 1981 value was, 

= 18400 (1 + 8/100)

= 18400 (108/100)

= 18400 × 108/144 |

= 19872

Question no – (4) 

Solution : 

Here,

T = 3 years

R = 12 1/2% = 25/2%

P = 15360

After 3 years value,

= P (1 – R/100)1/2

= 15360 (1 0 25/2 × 100)3

= 15360 (1 – 1/8)3

= 15360 × 7 × 7 × 7/8 × 8 × 8

= 10290 Rs

Thus, value after 3 years is 10290 Rs.

Question no – (5) 

Solution : 

According to the question, 

A new car is purchased for Rs 2,50,000

Its value depreciates at rate of 10% in first year,

8% in 2nd year and then 6% every year

After 4 years value will be,

= 250000 (1 – R1/100) (1 – R2/100) (1 – R3/100)

= 250000 (1 – 10/100) (1 – 8/100) (1 – 6/100) (1 – 6/100)

= 250000 × 90/100 × 92/100 × 94/100 × 94/100

= 182905.20 Rs

Thus, value of the car after 4 years will be 182905.20 Rs.

Question no – (6) 

Solution : 

As per the question we know,

Principal = 10,000

R1 = 10%

R2 = 10%

R3 = 10%

After 3 hour, of bacteria,

= 10,000 (1 + R1/100) (1 – R2/100) (1 + R3/100)

= 10,000 (1 + 10/100) (1 – 10/100) (1 + 109/100)

= 10,000 × 110/100 × 90/100 × 110/100

= 10890

Thus, the bacteria count at the end of 3 hours will be 10,890

Question no – (7) 

Solution : 

As we know Amount = P (1 + R/100)t

 Amount = (1 + R/100)t

= 48400/40,000 = (1 + R/100)2

= (11/10)2 = (1 + R/100)2

= 1 + R/100 = 11/10

= R/100 = 11/10 – 1

= 11 – 10/10

= R/100 = 1/10

= R = 10%

Therefore, Rate of growth will be 10%

Question no – (8) 

Solution : 

Let, time = t year

Amount = p (1 + R/100)t

= A/P = (1 – R/100)t

= 364500/500000 = (1 – R/100)t

= 3645/5000 = (1 – 10/100)t

= (90/100)t

= 729/1000 = (90/100)t

= (9/10)3

= (90/10)t

= 3

Therefore, the required time will be 3 years.

Question no – (9) 

Solution : 

After 3 year value of that will be,

= P (1 + R/100)2

= 10,00000 (1 + 20/100)x

= 10,00000 (1 + 1/5)3

= 1000000 (6/5)3

= 1000000 × 6/5 × 6/5 × 6/5

= 1728000 Rs

After 3 years value of car will be,

= p (1 – R/100)x

= 3,20,000 (1 – 15/100)3

= 3,20,000 (100 – 15/100)3

= 3,20,000 (85/100)3

= 3, 20,000 × (17/20)3

= 320, 000 × 17 × 17 × 17/20 × 20 × 20

= 1965 Rs

Total costing for buy,

= (10,000000 + 320,000)

= 13,20,000

Selling price,

=  (1720000 + 196520) Rs

=  1916520Rs

∴ Gain,

=  (1924520 – 1320,000)

= 604520 Rs

Question no – (10) 

Solution : 

In the beginning of fourth year workers will,

= P (1 – R1/100) (1 – R2/100) (1 + R3/100)

= 2000 (1 – 5/100) (1 – 5/100) (1 + 10/100)

= 800 × 95/100 × 95/100 × 110/100

= 7942

Thus, 7942 workers were working during the fourth year.
