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. 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

2. The least number of complete years in which a sum of money put out at 20% compound interest will be more than doubled is

4 years
5 years
6 years
7 years

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

As per question we need something like following

\begin{aligned}
P(1+\frac{R}{100})^n > 2P \\
(1+\frac{20}{100})^n > 2 \\
(\frac{6}{5})^n > 2 \\
\frac{6}{5} \times \frac{6}{5} \times \frac{6}{5}\times\frac{6}{5} > 2

\end{aligned}

So answer is 4 years

3. 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}

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 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}
