Question Detail

A man saves Rs 200 at the end of each year and lends the money at 5% compound interest. How much will it become at the end of 3 years.

Rs 662
Rs 662.01
Rs 662.02
Rs 662.03

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
[200(1+\frac{5}{100})^3 + 200(1+\frac{5}{100})^2+ \\ 200(1+\frac{5}{100})]

= [200(\frac{21}{20} \times \frac{21}{20} \times \frac{21}{20})\\
+ 200(\frac{21}{20}\times\frac{21}{20})+200(\frac{21}{20})] \\

= 662.02
\end{aligned}

1. 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}

2. Effective annual rate of interest corresponding to nominal rate of 6% per annum compounded half yearly will be

6.09%
6.10%
6.12%
6.14%

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Let the amount Rs 100 for 1 year when compounded half yearly, n = 2, Rate = 6/2 = 3%

\begin{aligned}
Amount = 100(1+\frac{3}{100})^2 = 106.09
\end{aligned}

Effective rate = (106.09 - 100)% = 6.09%

3. What will be the difference between simple and compound interest @ 10% per annum on the sum of Rs 1000 after 4 years

Rs 62.10
Rs 63.10
Rs 64.10
Rs 65.10

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
S.I. = \frac{1000*10*4}{100} = 400 \\
C.I. = [1000(1+\frac{10}{100})^4 - 1000] \\
= 464.10
\end{aligned}

So difference between simple interest and compound interest will be 464.10 - 400 = 64.10

4. If the simple interest on a sum of money for 2 years at 5% per annum is Rs.50, what will be the compound interest on same values

Rs.51.75
Rs 51.50
Rs 51.25
Rs 51

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
S.I. = \frac{P*R*T}{100} \\
P = \frac{50*100}{5*2} = 500\\

Amount = 500(1+\frac{5}{100})^2 \\
500(\frac{21}{20} * \frac{21}{20}) \\
= 551.25 \\

C.I. = 551.25 - 500 = 51.25

\end{aligned}

5. Find the compound interest on Rs.16,000 at 20% per annum for 9 months, compounded quarterly

Rs 2520
Rs 2521
Rs 2522
Rs 2523

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Please remember, when we have to calculate C.I. quarterly then we apply following formula if n is the number of years

\begin{aligned}
Amount = P(1+\frac{\frac{R}{4}}{100})^{4n}
\end{aligned}

Principal = Rs.16,000;
Time=9 months = 3 quarters;
Rate = 20%, it will be 20/4 = 5%

So lets solve this question now,

\begin{aligned}
Amount = 16000(1+\frac{5}{100})^3 \\
= 18522\\
C.I = 18522 - 16000 = 2522
\end{aligned}
