21. Two equal amounts lend on S.I. and C.I. for two years at same rates. If amount after two years is in the ratio of 520 : 529 and difference between interest earned in two years is Rs. 18, then find the ratio of interests earned from S.I to C.I in 3 years if total amount invested in both scheme is Rs. 1600.
SHOW ANSWER
Correct Ans:400 : 463
Explanation:
Given:
Amounts that lend on S.I. and C.I. after 2 yrs is in the ratio of 520 : 529.
Let the amount received after 2 yrs be 520X and 529X.
Given that difference between interest earned in two years is Rs.18.
529X - 520X = 18
9X = 18
X = 2
Amount received after 2 yrs on SI = 520X = 520(2) = Rs. 1040
Amount received after 2 yrs on CI = 529X = 529(2) = Rs. 1058
Amount invested in both scheme for 3yrs = Rs. 1600
Given that amount invested and rates on each scheme is equal.
Principal invested in each scheme = 1600/2 = Rs. 800
WKT, SI = PNR/100;
R = (SI x 100)/PN
Where, SI = 1040 - 800 = Rs. 240
R = (240 x 100)/(800 x 2)
R = 15%
SI after 3 yrs = (800 x 3 x 15)/100 = Rs. 360
CI after 3 yrs = P [(1 + r/100)n - 1]
= 800[(1 + 15/100)3 - 1]
= 800[(23/20)3 - 1]
= 800[(12167 - 8000)/8000]
= Rs. 416.7
Required ratio = 360/416.7 = 400/463.
Amounts that lend on S.I. and C.I. after 2 yrs is in the ratio of 520 : 529.
Let the amount received after 2 yrs be 520X and 529X.
Given that difference between interest earned in two years is Rs.18.
529X - 520X = 18
9X = 18

22. Sanjana invested Rs. 15000 in SI at the rate of 2x% per annum for two years and the same amount is invested in CI at the same rate of interest if she received Rs.150 more interest than S.I, then find the rate of interest per annum?
SHOW ANSWER
Correct Ans:10%
Explanation:
CI - SI = 150
P(1 + r/100)n - Pnr/100 = 150
15000[(1 + (2x/100))2 - 1] - (15000*2x*2)/100 = 150
15000[((100 + 2x)/100)2 - 1] - 600x = 150
15000[(10000 + 400x + 4x2)/10000 - 1] - 600x = 150
15000[(10000 + 400x + 4x2 - 10000)/10000] - 600x = 150
15000[(400x + 4x2)/10000] - 600x = 150
3/2(400x + 4x2) - 600x = 150
(3*4/2)(100x + x2) - 600x = 150
600x + 6x2 - 600x = 150
6x2 = 150
x2 = 25
x = 5
The rate of interest per annum = 2x% = (2*5)% = 10%
P(1 + r/100)n - Pnr/100 = 150
15000[(1 + (2x/100))2 - 1] - (15000*2x*2)/100 = 150
15000[((100 + 2x)/100)2 - 1] - 600x = 150
15000[(10000 + 400x + 4x2)/10000 - 1] - 600x = 150
15000[(10000 + 400x + 4x2 - 10000)/10000] - 600x = 150
15000[(400x + 4x2)/10000] - 600x = 150
3/2(400x + 4x2) - 600x = 150
(3*4/2)(100x + x2) - 600x = 150
600x + 6x2 - 600x = 150
6x2 = 150
x2 = 25
x = 5
The rate of interest per annum = 2x% = (2*5)% = 10%

23. A person took a loan of Rs. 6000 for 3 years, at 5% per annum compound interest. He repaid Rs. 2100 in each of the first 2 years. The amount he should pay at the end of 3rd to clear all his debts is:
SHOW ANSWER
Correct Ans:Rs. 2425.50
Explanation:
Given, Principal, P = Rs. 6000
No. of years, n = 3
Rate of interest, r = 5% per annum.
Amount repaid at first year = Rs. 2100
Amount repaid at second year = Rs. 2100
For 1st year, Compound Interest, C.I = P {[1 + (r/100)]n - 1}
---> C.I = 6000 * {[1 + (5/100)]1 - 1}
= 6000 * {[1 + (1/20)] - 1}
= 6000 * {[21/20] - 1}
= 6000 * {1/20)}
= 300
At the end of 1st year, Amount payable = Principal + C.I
= 6000 + 300 = 6300
As the person paid Rs. 2100 at first year, the principal for 2nd year = 6300 - 2100 = 4200
For 2nd year, Compound Interest, C.I = 4200 * {[1 + (5/100)]1 - 1}
= 4200 * {1/20)}
= 210
At the end of 2nd year, Amount payable = Principal (for 2nd year) + C.I
= 4200 + 210
= 4410
As the person paid Rs. 2100 at second year, the principal for 3rd year = 4410 - 2100 = 2310
For 3rd year, Compound Interest, C.I = 2310 * {[1 + (5/100)]1 - 1}
= 2310 * {1/20)}
= 115.5
So, The amount that the person should pay at the end of 3rd to clear all his debts = Principal (for 3rd year) + C.I
= 2310 + 115.5
= Rs. 2425.5
No. of years, n = 3
Rate of interest, r = 5% per annum.
Amount repaid at first year = Rs. 2100
Amount repaid at second year = Rs. 2100
For 1st year, Compound Interest, C.I = P {[1 + (r/100)]n - 1}
---> C.I = 6000 * {[1 + (5/100)]1 - 1}
= 6000 * {[1 + (1/20)] - 1}
= 6000 * {[21/20] - 1}
= 6000 * {1/20)}
= 300
At the end of 1st year, Amount payable = Principal + C.I
= 6000 + 300 = 6300
As the person paid Rs. 2100 at first year, the principal for 2nd year = 6300 - 2100 = 4200
For 2nd year, Compound Interest, C.I = 4200 * {[1 + (5/100)]1 - 1}
= 4200 * {1/20)}
= 210
At the end of 2nd year, Amount payable = Principal (for 2nd year) + C.I
= 4200 + 210
= 4410
As the person paid Rs. 2100 at second year, the principal for 3rd year = 4410 - 2100 = 2310
For 3rd year, Compound Interest, C.I = 2310 * {[1 + (5/100)]1 - 1}
= 2310 * {1/20)}
= 115.5
So, The amount that the person should pay at the end of 3rd to clear all his debts = Principal (for 3rd year) + C.I
= 2310 + 115.5
= Rs. 2425.5

24. Simple interest on a certain sum of money for 5 years at 10 % per annum is five sixth of the compound interest on Rs. 12,000 for 2 years at 5 % per annum. The sum placed on simple interest is?
SHOW ANSWER
Correct Ans:Rs. 2050
Explanation:
Given:
CI: P = Rs. 12,000; N = 2 yrs; R = 5%
WKT, C.I. = P[(1+R/100)N] – P
CI for 1st yr = 12000[1 + (5/100)] - 12000
= 12000[(21/20) - 1]
= 12000[(21- 20)/20]
= Rs. 600
Principal for 2nd yr = 12000 + 600 = Rs. 12, 600
CI for 2nd yr = 12600[1 + (5/100)] - 12600
= 12600[(21/20) - 1]
= 12600[(21- 20)/20]
= Rs. 630
CI for 2 yrs = 600 + 630 = Rs. 1,230
Given: SI is 5/6 of CI,
SI = (5/6)*1230
SI = Rs. 1025
WKT, SI = PNR/100
1025 = [P x 5 x 10]/100
P = [1025 x 100]/[5 x 10]
P = Rs. 2050.
CI: P = Rs. 12,000; N = 2 yrs; R = 5%
WKT, C.I. = P[(1+R/100)N] – P
CI for 1st yr = 12000[1 + (5/100)] - 12000
= 12000[(21/20) - 1]
= 12000[(21- 20)/20]
= Rs. 600
Principal for 2nd yr = 12000 + 600 = Rs. 12, 600
CI for 2nd yr = 12600[1 + (5/100)] - 12600
= 12600[(21/20) - 1]
= 12600[(21- 20)/20]
= Rs. 630
CI for 2 yrs = 600 + 630 = Rs. 1,230
Given: SI is 5/6 of CI,
SI = (5/6)*1230
SI = Rs. 1025
WKT, SI = PNR/100
1025 = [P x 5 x 10]/100
P = [1025 x 100]/[5 x 10]
P = Rs. 2050.

25. Raghu invested Rs. A on SI for 2 years at the rate of 6% p.a. and Rs. 1500 on CI for 2 years at the rate of 20% p.a. If the ratio of SI and CI after 2 years is 6: 11, find the value of A.
SHOW ANSWER
Correct Ans:Rs. 3000
Explanation:
Given:
In SI: P - Rs. A; N - 2 yr; R - 6%
In CI: P - Rs.1500; N - 2 yr; R - 20%
WKT, CI = P{[1 + (R/100)]N - 1}
CI = 1500{[1 + (20/100)]2 - 1}
= 1500{(6/5)2 - 1}
= 1500[(36 - 25)/25]
= 1500(11/25)
= Rs. 660
If the ratio of SI and CI after 2 years is 6: 11,
SI/CI = 6/11
(PNR/100)/P{[1 + (R/100)]N - 1} = 6/11
(A x 2 x 6)/(660 x 100) = 6/11
A = (6 x 660 x 100)/(2 x 6 x 11)
A = Rs. 3000.
In SI: P - Rs. A; N - 2 yr; R - 6%
In CI: P - Rs.1500; N - 2 yr; R - 20%
WKT, CI = P{[1 + (R/100)]N - 1}
CI = 1500{[1 + (20/100)]2 - 1}
= 1500{(6/5)2 - 1}
= 1500[(36 - 25)/25]
= 1500(11/25)
= Rs. 660
If the ratio of SI and CI after 2 years is 6: 11,
SI/CI = 6/11
(PNR/100)/P{[1 + (R/100)]N - 1} = 6/11
(A x 2 x 6)/(660 x 100) = 6/11
A = (6 x 660 x 100)/(2 x 6 x 11)
A = Rs. 3000.

26. Dev invested Rs. X at the rate of 15% p.a. on CI for two years and gets total interest of Rs. 5805. If Dev invested Rs. (X + 14000) for another 2 yrs at an additional rate of 15%, then what will be the CI on that investment?
SHOW ANSWER
Correct Ans:Rs. 22,080
Explanation:
Given:
Dev invested Rs. X ; N = 2 yrs; R = 15% and CI = Rs. 5,805
WKT, CI = P[1 + (R/100)]N - P
5805 = X[1 + (15/100)]2 - X
5805 = X[23/20]2 - X
5805 = X[(529 - 400)/400]
X = 5805*(400/129)
X = Rs. 18,000
If Dev invested Rs. (X + 14000); N = 2 yrs; R = 30%(additional rate of 15%)
CI = (18000 + 14000)[1 + (30/100)]2 - (18000 + 14000)
CI = 32000[13/10]2 - 32000
CI = 32000[(169 - 100)/100]
CI = 32000[69/100]
CI = Rs. 22,080.
Dev invested Rs. X ; N = 2 yrs; R = 15% and CI = Rs. 5,805
WKT, CI = P[1 + (R/100)]N - P
5805 = X[1 + (15/100)]2 - X
5805 = X[23/20]2 - X
5805 = X[(529 - 400)/400]
X = 5805*(400/129)
X = Rs. 18,000
If Dev invested Rs. (X + 14000); N = 2 yrs; R = 30%(additional rate of 15%)
CI = (18000 + 14000)[1 + (30/100)]2 - (18000 + 14000)
CI = 32000[13/10]2 - 32000
CI = 32000[(169 - 100)/100]
CI = 32000[69/100]
CI = Rs. 22,080.

27. A certain sum is invested for 2 years in scheme A at 20% p.a. compound interest compounded annually. Same sum is also invested for the same period in scheme B at x%p.a. to a simple interest earned from scheme A is twice of that earned from scheme B. What is the value of x?
SHOW ANSWER
Correct Ans:11%
Explanation:
Let sum invested in both schemes = Rs. P
Let interest earned in scheme A = Rs. 2x
In scheme A, time = 2 years and rate = 20% under compound interest.
=> C.I. = P [(1 + r/100)n - 1]
=> 2x = P [(1 + 20/100)2 - 1]
=> 2x = P [(6/5)2 - 1]
=> 2x = P [(36/35) - 1] = 11P/25
=> x = 11P/50 ---------- (i)
Now, in scheme B, interest earned = Rs. x
Time = 2 years and rate of interest = x% under simple interest
=> S.I. = Pnr/100
=> x = (P*x*2)/100
Using, equation(i) we get:
=> 11P/50 = (P*x)/50
=> x = 11%
Let interest earned in scheme A = Rs. 2x
In scheme A, time = 2 years and rate = 20% under compound interest.
=> C.I. = P [(1 + r/100)n - 1]
=> 2x = P [(1 + 20/100)2 - 1]
=> 2x = P [(6/5)2 - 1]
=> 2x = P [(36/35) - 1] = 11P/25
=> x = 11P/50 ---------- (i)
Now, in scheme B, interest earned = Rs. x
Time = 2 years and rate of interest = x% under simple interest
=> S.I. = Pnr/100
=> x = (P*x*2)/100
Using, equation(i) we get:
=> 11P/50 = (P*x)/50
=> x = 11%

He invested same sum at the rate x% per annum compounded annually for two years and he received interest Rs. 2100 more as compared to the Simple Interest, then find the value of 'x'
SHOW ANSWER
Correct Ans:20%
Explanation:
Let us take sum be y
WKT,
A = P (1 + (rn)/100)
19500 = y (1 + 30/100)
19500 = y (130/100)
y = 19500 * (10/13) = 15000
SI = A - P = 19500 - 15000
= 4500
Given,
CI = SI + 2100 = 4500 + 2100
= 6600
Total amount = P + I = 15000 + 6600
= 21600
A = P (1 + r/100)n
21600 = 15000 (1 + x/100)2
(1 + x/100)2 = (6/5)2
1 + x/100 = 6/5
x/100 = 1/5
x = 20%
WKT,
A = P (1 + (rn)/100)
19500 = y (1 + 30/100)
19500 = y (130/100)
y = 19500 * (10/13) = 15000
SI = A - P = 19500 - 15000
= 4500
Given,
CI = SI + 2100 = 4500 + 2100
= 6600
Total amount = P + I = 15000 + 6600
= 21600
A = P (1 + r/100)n
21600 = 15000 (1 + x/100)2
(1 + x/100)2 = (6/5)2
1 + x/100 = 6/5
x/100 = 1/5

30. A tree increases annually by 1â„5 th of its height. If its height today is 50 cm, what will be the height after 3 years?
SHOW ANSWER
Correct Ans:86.4 cm
Explanation:
This problem can be solved by compound interest method.
Where R = (1/5) of its height = (1/5)*100 = 20 %
Time period n = 3 years so,
Height after 3 years = P (1 + (R/100))n
= 50 * (1 + (20/100))3
= 50 * (1 + (1/5))3
= 50 * ((6*6*6) / (5*5*5))
= 86.4 cm.
Where R = (1/5) of its height = (1/5)*100 = 20 %
Time period n = 3 years so,
Height after 3 years = P (1 + (R/100))n
= 50 * (1 + (20/100))3
= 50 * (1 + (1/5))3
= 50 * ((6*6*6) / (5*5*5))
= 86.4 cm.

31. The difference between simple and compound interest compounded annually on a certain sum of money for 3 years at 4% per annum is Rs. 1. Find the sum.
SHOW ANSWER
Correct Ans:Rs. 205.6
Explanation:
The difference between simple interest and compound interest for 3years given by
C.I - S.I = P[(R/100)² * ((R/100) + 3)]
1 = x [(4/100)² * ((4/100) + 3)]
1 = x * (1/25)² * (76/25)
1 = 76x/15625
x = 205.59.
Hence the required sum is Rs. 205.6
C.I - S.I = P[(R/100)² * ((R/100) + 3)]
1 = x [(4/100)² * ((4/100) + 3)]
1 = x * (1/25)² * (76/25)
1 = 76x/15625
x = 205.59.

32. At what percent per annum will Rs. 1000 amounts to Rs. 1728 in 3 years if interest compounded annually?
SHOW ANSWER
Correct Ans:20%
Explanation:
P = 1000, A = 1728, n = 3 years
The amount is given by A = P (1 + (r/100))n
(1 + (r/100))3 = A/P
(1 + (r/100))3 = (1728/1000)
(1 + (r/100))3 = (12/10)3
Here both cubes cancels each other.
1 + (r/100) = 12/10
r/100 = (12/10) - 1
r/100 = 1/5
Therefore rate of interest r = 20%.
The amount is given by A = P (1 + (r/100))n
(1 + (r/100))3 = A/P
(1 + (r/100))3 = (1728/1000)
(1 + (r/100))3 = (12/10)3
Here both cubes cancels each other.
1 + (r/100) = 12/10
r/100 = (12/10) - 1
r/100 = 1/5
Therefore rate of interest r = 20%.

33. A man borrows Rs. 4000 at 20% compound rate of interest. At the end of each year he pays back Rs. 1500. How much amount should he pay at the end of the third year to clear all his dues ?
SHOW ANSWER
Correct Ans:Rs. 2952
Explanation:
Amount = 4000
20% of 4000 = 800
At the end of 1st year = 4000 + 800 = 4800

Amount = 4800 -1500 = 3300
20% of 3300 = 660
At the end of 2nd year = 3300 + 660 = 3960
Pays back = 1500
Amount = 3960 - 1500 = 2460
20% of 2460 = 492
Amount to be paid at the end of third year = 2460 + 492 = 2952
20% of 4000 = 800
At the end of 1st year = 4000 + 800 = 4800
Pays back = 1500
Amount = 4800 -1500 = 3300
20% of 3300 = 660
At the end of 2nd year = 3300 + 660 = 3960
Pays back = 1500
Amount = 3960 - 1500 = 2460
20% of 2460 = 492
Amount to be paid at the end of third year = 2460 + 492 = 2952

34. Some amount of money grows upto Rs. 8000 in 3 yr and upto Rs. 10000 in 4 yr on compound interest. What is the sum?
SHOW ANSWER
Correct Ans:Rs. 4096
Explanation:
Here, sum = A1(A1/A2)n
Where, A1 = Rs. 8000, A2 = Rs. 10000, n = 3 yr
Sum = 8000(8000/10000)3
= Rs. 4096
Where, A1 = Rs. 8000, A2 = Rs. 10000, n = 3 yr
Sum = 8000(8000/10000)3
= Rs. 4096

35. The compound interest on Rs 7500 in 2 years when the successive rate of interest on successive years is 8% and 10% respectively:
SHOW ANSWER
Correct Ans:Rs 1410
Explanation:
amount at the end of 2nd year
= Rs 7500 (1 + 8/100) (1 + 10/100)
= Rs 7500 × 1.08 × 1.10
= Rs 8910
Thus C.I. for two years = amount – principal
= Rs 8910 – Rs 7500 = Rs 1410
= Rs 7500 (1 + 8/100) (1 + 10/100)
= Rs 7500 × 1.08 × 1.10
= Rs 8910
Thus C.I. for two years = amount – principal
= Rs 8910 – Rs 7500 = Rs 1410

36. A lent an amount of Rs. 1100 to B. This is to be paid back to A in two instalments. If the rate of interest, which A charges to B, be 20% compounded annually, then what is the value of each instalment ?
SHOW ANSWER
Correct Ans:Rs. 720
Explanation:
Let x = equal instalment at the end of each year
Now 1st year,
P = Rs. 1100
Interest at the end of 1st year = (1100 × 20 × 1)/100 = Rs. 22
Now, at the beginning of 2nd year,
P = Rs. (1100 + 220 – x) = Rs. (1320 – x)
Interest at the end of 2nd year
= ((1320 – x) × 20 × 1)/100 = 264 – x/5
Now amount remaining after 2 years
= (1320 – x) + (264 – x/5) – x = 0
⇒ 2x + x/5 = 1320 + 264
⇒ 11x/5 = 1584
⇒ x = 720
Now 1st year,
P = Rs. 1100
Interest at the end of 1st year = (1100 × 20 × 1)/100 = Rs. 22
Now, at the beginning of 2nd year,
P = Rs. (1100 + 220 – x) = Rs. (1320 – x)
Interest at the end of 2nd year
= ((1320 – x) × 20 × 1)/100 = 264 – x/5
Now amount remaining after 2 years
= (1320 – x) + (264 – x/5) – x = 0
⇒ 2x + x/5 = 1320 + 264
⇒ 11x/5 = 1584
⇒ x = 720

37. A certain amount of money is lent out at compound interest at the rate of 20% per annum for two years, compounded annually. It would give Rs. 482 more if the amount is compounded half yearly. Find the principle.
SHOW ANSWER
Correct Ans:None of these
Explanation:
we can apply the net % effect formula
x + y + xy/100%
Compounded annually at rate 20% per annum for 2 years, we get
= 20 + 20 + (20 × 20)/100 = 44% ----- for 2 years
Similarly, compounded half yearly at rate 10%, we get
= 10 + 10 + (10 × 10)/100 = 21% --------- for 2 years
And, 21 + 10 + (21 × 10)/100 = 33.1% --------- for 3rd year
And, 33.1 + 10 + (33.1 × 10)/100 = 46.41% ------- for 4th year
Now as per the question,
Difference between compound interest yearly and half yearly = 46.41 – 44 = 2.41%
Given, 2.41% ≡ 482
100% ≡ x
⇒ x = (482 × 100)/2.41 = 20,000
x + y + xy/100%
Compounded annually at rate 20% per annum for 2 years, we get
= 20 + 20 + (20 × 20)/100 = 44% ----- for 2 years
Similarly, compounded half yearly at rate 10%, we get
= 10 + 10 + (10 × 10)/100 = 21% --------- for 2 years
And, 21 + 10 + (21 × 10)/100 = 33.1% --------- for 3rd year
And, 33.1 + 10 + (33.1 × 10)/100 = 46.41% ------- for 4th year
Now as per the question,
Difference between compound interest yearly and half yearly = 46.41 – 44 = 2.41%
Given, 2.41% ≡ 482
100% ≡ x
⇒ x = (482 × 100)/2.41 = 20,000

38. Aruna borrows Rs. 6250 from geetha at 10% CI. At the end of every year she pays Rs. 1000 as part repayment. How much does she still over after 3 such installments?
SHOW ANSWER
Correct Ans:5008.75
Explanation:
6250*(10/100) = 625
(6250+625) -1000 = 5875
5875*(10/100) = 587.5
(5875+587.5) -1000 = 5462.5
5462.5*(10/100) = 546.25
(5462.5+546.25)-1000 = 5008.75
(6250+625) -1000 = 5875
5875*(10/100) = 587.5
(5875+587.5) -1000 = 5462.5
5462.5*(10/100) = 546.25
(5462.5+546.25)-1000 = 5008.75

39. Rs. 6100 was partly invested in Scheme A at 10% pa compound interest (compounded annually) for 2 years and partly in Scheme B at 10% pa simple interest for 4 years. Both the schemes earn equal interests. How much was invested in Scheme A ?
SHOW ANSWER
Correct Ans:Rs. 4000
Explanation:
Let the amount invested in Scheme A is Rs. x.
Then, the amount invested in Scheme B be Rs. (6100 – x)
Now, according to the question,
x(1 + 10/100)2 - x = (6100-x)*10*4 / 100
x(121/100 - 1) = (6100-x)*40 / 100
21x/100 = (6100-x)*40 / 100
21x = (6100-x)*40 - 40x
61x = 6100*40
x = 6100*40 / 61 = Rs. 4000
∴ The amount invested in Scheme A is Rs. 4000.
Hence, option C is correct.
Then, the amount invested in Scheme B be Rs. (6100 – x)
Now, according to the question,
x(1 + 10/100)2 - x = (6100-x)*10*4 / 100
x(121/100 - 1) = (6100-x)*40 / 100
21x/100 = (6100-x)*40 / 100
21x = (6100-x)*40 - 40x
61x = 6100*40
x = 6100*40 / 61 = Rs. 4000
∴ The amount invested in Scheme A is Rs. 4000.
Hence, option C is correct.

40. A person takes a loan of Rs. 200 at 5% p.a compound interest. He returns Rs. 100 at the end of one year. How much amount he would require to pay at the end of 2nd year in order to clear his dues.
SHOW ANSWER
Correct Ans:Rs.115.50
Explanation:
Amount to be paid in 1st year = 200 + (200*5*1)/100 = 210
Amount left = 210-100 = 110
Required amount = 110 + (110*5*1)/100= 115.50
Amount left = 210-100 = 110
Required amount = 110 + (110*5*1)/100= 115.50
