Interest in 2nd year = 1980 Rs. Interest in 3rd year = 2178 Rs. Difference Rate of interest If the rate of rate of interest is 10 % compounded annually then the interest in second year is 11 % It means 1980 is 11% and we have to calculate first year i.e we have to calculate 10 %  of p Interest of 1st year

A man borrowed Rs.80000 at the rate of 10% p.a. compound interest, interest being compounded annually. How much amount should he have repaid at the end of the first year, if by repaying Rs.55000 at the end of the second year he can clear the loan?

• Option 3)

Interest compounded per half year at 6% per half year

• Option 4)

Interest compounded per year at 12% p.a.

• Option 5)

Interest compounded per quarter at 3% per quarter

As interest compounded per month at 1 % so on a fixed principal interest will be given 12 times in a year, greater the no. of times of interest calculated greater the amount in the end.

20%

• Option 4)

30%

• Option 5)

25%

Interest of 2nd year = 1200 Interest of 3rd year = 1440 Difference = 240 In compound interest, interest in next year is calculated on previous year So, Increase in next year interest is what percent of the interest of previous year is = to the rate of interest

Find the effective rate of interest if the normal rate of interest is 10% p.a. and the interest is compounded every six months.

• Option 1)

21.5%

• Option 2)

10.25%

• Option 3)

5.25%

• Option 4)

11%

• Option 5)

10%

for this take 100 as principal R = 10 % and half yearly rate will be 5 % 5+5+0.25 = 10.25 %

The difference between the interests earned on a principal under a certain rate of compound interest in pth year and (p + 1)th year is more than that in the qth year and (q + 1)th year if

• Option 1)

p > q

• Option 2)

• Option 3)

p = q

• Option 4)

can't say

• Option 5)

p<q

Because compound interest Is depend on the number of years, so if the interest in Pth year and (p+1) th years is greater than Qth years and (Q+1) th year if and only if P > q

Find the interest earned in the first year on Rs.400 at 20%p.a. compound interest, the interest being compounded half yearly.

Rs.59

• Option 2)

Rs.72

• Option 3)

Rs.84

• Option 4)

Rs.144

• Option 5)

Rs.42

Because the interest compound half yearly When interest calculated half yearly rate will be half and time will be double. P = 400, R = 20 %  P.A , T = 1 year = 40 + 40 + 4 = 84
