Question Detail

Find the compound interest on Rs. 7500 at 4% per annum for 2 years, compounded annually.

Rs. 610
Rs. 612
Rs. 614
Rs. 616

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
Amount = [7500 \times (1+ \frac{4}{100})^2] \\
= (7500 \times \frac{26}{25} \times \frac{26}{25}) \\
= 8112 \\

\end{aligned}

So compound interest = (8112 - 7500) = 612

1. A sum of money invested at compound interest to Rs. 800 in 3 years and to Rs 840 in 4 years. The rate on interest per annum is.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

S.I. on Rs 800 for 1 year = 40

Rate = (100*40)/(800*1) = 5%

2. Albert invested amount of 8000 in a fixed deposit for 2 years at compound interest rate of 5 % per annum. How much Albert will get on the maturity of the fixed deposit.

Rs. 8510
Rs. 8620
Rs. 8730
Rs. 8820

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
=> (8000 \times(1+\frac{5}{100})^2) \\
=> 8000 \times \frac{21}{20}\times \frac{21}{20} \\
=> 8820
\end{aligned}

3. The present worth of Rs.169 due in 2 years at 4% per annum compound interest is

Rs 155.25
Rs 156.25
Rs 157.25
Rs 158.25

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

In this type of question we apply formula
\begin{aligned}
Amount = \frac{P}{(1+\frac{R}{100})^n} \\
Amount = \frac{169}{(1+\frac{4}{100})^2} \\
Amount = \frac{169 * 25 * 25}{26*26} \\
Amount = 156.25
\end{aligned}

4. Find compound interest on Rs. 7500 at 4% per annum for 2 years, compounded annually

Rs 312
Rs 412
Rs 512
Rs 612

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Please apply the formula

\begin{aligned}
Amount = P(1+\frac{R}{100})^n \\
\text{C.I. = Amount - P}
\end{aligned}

5. On a sum of money, simple interest for 2 years is Rs 660 and compound interest is Rs 696.30, the rate of interest being the same in both cases.

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Difference between C.I and S.I for 2 years = 36.30
S.I. for one year = 330.
S.I. on Rs 330 for one year = 36.30

So R% = \frac{100*36.30}{330*1} = 11%
