What would be the compound interest on Rs.7700/- at 15 ¼% per annum for 2 years compounded annually
Answer: Option 'B'
Principal = Rs. 7700/-
time = 2 years
rate = 15 ¼%
Amount = P(1+R/100)n
= 7700 × (1 + 61/(4 × 100)2)
= 7700 × [(1 + 61/400)2]
= 7700 × [(461/400)2)]
= 7700 × 461/400 × 461/400
= 7700 × 1.1525 × 1.1525
= 7700 × 1.32825625
= 10227.573125
C.I = 10227.573125 - 7700 = 2527.57/-

Certain sum becomes 3 times it self at compound interest in 10 years. In how many years it becomes 9 times?
Answer: Option 'D'
P(1 + R/100)10 = 3P
=> P(1 + R/100)10 = 3
Let P(1 + R/100)n = 9P
=> (1 + R/100)n = 9
=> 32 = [(1 + R/100)10]2
=> (1 + R/100)n => (1 + R/100)20
=> n = 20 Years.

An amount at compound interest sums to Rs.17640/- in 2 years and to Rs.18522/- in 3 years at the same rate of interest. Find the rate percentage?
Answer: Option 'A'
The difference of two successive amounts must be the simple interest in 1 year on
the lower amount of money.
S.I = 18522/- - 17640/- = Rs. 882/-
Rate of interest = (882/17640) × (100/1) => 8820/1764 = 5%
Principal = Amount/(1 + R/100)n
= 17640/(1 + 5/100)2
= 17640/(21/20 × 21/20)
= 17640/(1.05 × 1.05)
= 17640/1.1025
= 16000

Certain loan amount was repaid in two annual installments of Rs.1331/- each. If the rate of interest be 10% per annum Compounded annually the sum borrowed was?
Answer: Option 'C'
Principal = (P.W of Rs. 1331/- due 1 year hence) + (P.W of Rs. 1331/- due 2 years hence)
= [1331/(1 + 10/100) + 1331/(1 + 10/100)2]
= [1331/(110/100) + 1331/(110/100 × 110/100)]
= 13310/11 + 133100/121 = 1210 + 1100 = Rs.2310/-

The difference between the compound interest and simple interest on a certain sum of money at 5% per annum for 2 years is 45. Then the original sum is?
Answer: Option 'C'
For 2 years = (1002D)/R2
= (1002 × 45)/(5 × 5) = (10000 × 45)/25 = Rs.18000/-

Hari lended a sum of Rs.8000 for 20% per annum at compound interest then the sum of the amount will be Rs.13824 is obtained. After how many years he will get that amount?
Answer: Option 'D'
Let Principal = P, Rate = R% per annum, Time = n years
When interest is compounded annually, total amount can be calculated by using the formula
Compound Amount = P ( 1 + R / 100)n
Given that, P = Rs.8000, R = 20% per annum
Compound Amount = Rs. 13824
We have to find the time period during which the amount will be Rs.13824
=> Rs.13824 = 8000 x (1 + 20/100)n
=> (13824 /8000) = (120 / 100)n
=> (24 / 20)3 = (12 / 10)n
=> (12 /10)3 = (12 /10 )n
Therefore, n = 3.
Hence the required time period is 3 years.
