Question 1

The difference between simple interest and compound interest on a certain sum is 54.40 for 2 years at 8 per cent per annum. Find the sum.Solution 1

Let principal (P) = x

R = 8%

T = 2 years

 Given, CI = SI = 54.40

Thus, principal sum = Rs. 8500Question 2

A sum of money, invested at compound interest, amounts to 19,360 in 2 years and to 23,425.60 in 4 years. Find the rate per cent and the original sum of money.Solution 2

(for 2 years) A = Rs. 19360

T = 2 years

Let P = X

...(1)

A (for 4 years) = Rs. 23425.60

...(2)

(2) (1)

Form (1), we have

Thus, sum = Rs. 16000Question 3

A sum of money lent out at C.I. at a certain rate per annum becomes three times of itself in 8 years. Find in how many years will the money becomes twenty-seven times of itself at the same rate of interest p.a.Solution 3

Let principal = x, A = 3x, T = 8 years, R = ?

Case I,

Case II,

P = x, A = 27x, T = ?

From (1) and (2)

Hence, time = 24 years.Question 4

On what sum of money will compound interest (payable annually) for 2 years be the same as simple interest on 9,430 for 10 years, both at the rate of 5 per cent per annum?Solution 4

P = Rs. 9430

R = 5%

R = 10 years

SI = 

Let sum = x

CI = 4715, T = 2 years, Rs= 5%

CI = A - P

Thus principal from = Rs. 46,000Question 5

Kamal and Anand each lent the same sum of money for 2 years at 5% at simple interest and compound interst respectively. Anand recived 15 more than Kamal. Find the amount of money lent by each and the interest received.Solution 5

Let principal = Rs. 100, R = 5% T = 2 years

For Kamal, SI = 

For Anand,  

 CI = 

Difference of CI and SI = 

When difference is Rs. , then principal = Rs. 100

If difference is 1, principal = 100 4

If difference is Rs, 15, principal = 100 4 15 = Rs. 6000

For kamal, interest = 

For Anand, interest = 

Question 6

Simple interest on a sum of money for 2 years at 4% is 450. Find compound interest of the same sum and at the same rate for 2 years.Solution 6

SI = Rs. 450

R = 4%

T = 2 years

P = ?

Now, P = 5625, R = 4%, T = 2 years

A = 

CI = A - P = 6084 - 5625

= Rs. 459Question 7

Simple interest on a certain sum of money for 4 years at 4% per annum exceeds the compound interest on the same sum for 3 years at 5 per cent per annum by 228. Find the sum.Solution 7

Let principal (P), R = 4%, T = 4 years

Given: SI - CI = Rs. 228

Thus, Principal = Rs. 96000Question 8

Compound interest on a certain sum of money at 5% per annum for two years is 246. Calculate simple interest on the same sum for 3 years at 6% per annum.Solution 8

CI = Rs. 246, R = 5%, T = 2 years

CI = A - P

Now, P = Rs. 2400, R = 6%, T = 3 years

Question 9

A certain sum of money amounts to Rs. 23,400 in 3 years at 10% per annum simple interest. Find the amount of the same sum in 2 years and at 10% p.a. compound interest.Solution 9

Let the sum (principle) = x

Given Amount = 23400, R = 10% and T = 3 years

Amount = Principle + Interest

23400 = x +  

x = 18000

Principle = 18000

Now,

Principle = `18000, r = 10% and n = 2 years

The amount of the same sum in 2 years and at 10% p.a. compound interest is 21780.Question 10

Mohit borrowed a certain sum at 5% per annum compound interest and cleared this loan by paying Rs. 12,600 at the end of the first year and Rs. 17,640 at the end of the second year. Find the sum borrowed.Solution 10

Chapter 3 - Compound Interest (Using Formula) Exercise Ex. 3(C)

Question 1
