Compound Interest
- Let Principal = P, Rate = R% per annum, Time = n years.
- When interest is compound Annually:
Amount = P | 1 + | R | n | ||
100 |
- When interest is compounded Half-yearly:
Amount = P | 1 + | (R/2) | 2n | ||
100 |
- When interest is compounded Quarterly:
Amount = P | 1 + | (R/4) | 4n | ||
100 |
- When interest is compounded Annually but time is in fraction, say 3 years.
Amount = P | 1 + | R | 3 | x | 1 + | R | ||||
100 | 100 |
- When Rates are different for different years, say R1%, R2%, R3% for 1st, 2nd and 3rd year respectively.
Then, Amount = P | 1 + | R1 | 1 + | R2 | 1 + | R3 | . | ||||||
100 | 100 | 100 |
- Present worth of Rs. x due n years hence is given by:
Present Worth = | x | . | |||

Answer:1 Option B
Explanation:
Amount |

|
| ||||||||||||||||
| = Rs. 3321. |
- C.I. = Rs. (3321 – 3200) = Rs. 121
Answer:2 Option A
Explanation:
Let the sum be Rs. x. Then,
C.I. = | x | 1 + | 4 | 2 | – x | = | 676 | x | – x | = | 51 | x. | ||||||
100 | 625 | 625 |
S.I. = | x x 4 x 2 | = | 2x | . | ||
100 | 25 |
51x | – | 2x | = 1 | |
625 | 25 |
- x = 625.
Answer:3 Option C
Explanation:
Let P = Rs. 100. Then, S.I. Rs. 60 and T = 6 years.
R = | 100 x 60 | = 10% p.a. | ||
100 x 6 |
Now, P = Rs. 12000. T = 3 years and R = 10% p.a.
C.I. |

| = 3972. |
Answer:4 Option A
Explanation:
C.I. when interest |
| |||||||||||||||
|
| |||||||||||||||
| = Rs. 5304. |
C.I. when interest is |
| ||||||||||||
|
| ||||||||||||
| = Rs. 5306.04 |
Difference = Rs. (5306.04 – 5304) = Rs. 2.04
Answer:5 Option A
Explanation:
Amount = Rs. (30000 + 4347) = Rs. 34347.
Let the time be n years.
Then, 30000 | 1 + | 7 | n | = 34347 | ||
100 |
107 | n | = | 34347 | = | 11449 | = | 107 | 2 | |||||
100 | 30000 | 10000 | 100 |
n = 2 years.
Answer:6 Option C
Explanation:
Amount |
| ||||||||||||
|
| ||||||||||||
| = Rs. 35123.20 |
C.I. = Rs. (35123.20 – 25000) = Rs. 10123.20
Answer:7 Option A
Explanation:
Let the rate be R% p.a.
Then, 1200 x | 1 + | R | 2 | = 1348.32 | ||
100 |
1 + | R | 2 | = | 134832 | = | 11236 | |||
100 | 120000 | 10000 |
1 + | R | 2 | = | 106 | 2 | |||||
100 | 100 |
1 + | R | = | 106 |
100 | 100 |
R = 6%
Answer:8 Option B
Explanation:
P | 1 + | 20 | n | > 2P |
| 6 | n | > 2. | ||||
100 | 5 |
Now, | 6 | x | 6 | x | 6 | x | 6 | > 2. | ||
5 | 5 | 5 | 5 |
So, n = 4 years.

Answer:10 Option D
Explanation:
Amount of Rs. 100 for 1 year | = Rs. | 100 x | 1 + | 3 | 2 | = Rs. 106.09 | |||||
100 |
Effective rate = (106.09 – 100)% = 6.09%
Answer:11 Option C
Explanation:
C.I. |
| |||||||||||
|
| |||||||||||
| = Rs. 840. |
Sum = Rs. | 420 x 100 | = Rs. 1750. | ||
3 x 8 |
Answer:12 Option A
Explanation:
Sum = Rs. | 50 x 100 | = Rs. 500. | ||
2 x 5 |
Amount |
| ||||||||||
|
| ||||||||||
| = Rs. 551.25 |
- C.I. = Rs. (551.25 – 500) = Rs. 51.25
Answer:13 Option B
Explanation:
S.I. = Rs | 1200 x 10 x 1 | = Rs. 120. | ||
100 |
C.I. = Rs. | 1200 x | 1 + | 5 | 2 | – 1200 | = Rs. 123. | ||||
100 |
Difference = Rs. (123 – 120) = Rs. 3.
Answer:14 Option A
Explanation:
| 15000 x | 1 + | R | 2 | – 15000 | – | 15000 x R x 2 | = 96 | ||||||
100 | 100 |
15000 | 1 + | R | 2 | – 1 – | 2R | = 96 | ||||
100 | 100 |
15000 | (100 + R)2 – 10000 – (200 x R) | = 96 | ||
10000 |
R2 = | 96 x 2 | = 64 | ||
3 |
R = 8.
Rate = 8%.
Answer:15 Option B
Explanation:
Let the sum be Rs. P.
Then, | P | 1 + | 10 | 2 | – P | = 525 | ||||
100 |
P | 11 | 2 | – 1 | = 525 | |||||
10 |
P = | 525 x 100 | = 2500. | ||
21 |
Sum = Rs . 2500.
So, S.I. = Rs. | 2500 x 5 x 4 | = Rs. 500 | ||
100 |
Answer:16 Option D
Explanation:
Let Principal = Rs. P and Rate = R% p.a. Then,
Amount = Rs. | P | 1 + | R | 4 | ||||
100 |
C.I. = | P | 1 + | R | 4 | – 1 | ||||
100 |
P | 1 + | R | 4 | – 1 | = 1491. | |||||
100 |
Clearly, it does not give the answer.
Correct answer is (D).
Answer:17 Option C
Explanation:
I. Amount = Rs. | 200 x | 1 + | 6 | 16 | ||||
100 |
II. Amount = Rs. | 200 x | 1 + | 6 | 16 | ||||
100 |
Thus, I as well as II gives the answer.
Correct answer is (C).
Answer:18 Option E
Explanation:
Given: T = 3 years.
I. gives: R = 8% p.a.
II. gives: S.I. = Rs. 1200.
Thus, P = Rs. 5000, R = 8% p.a. and T = 3 years.
Difference between C.I. and S.I. may be obtained.
So, the correct answer is (E).
