Question Detail

At what rate of compound interest per annum will a sum of Rs. 1200 become Rs. 1348.32 in 2 years

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Let Rate will be R%

\begin{aligned}
1200(1+\frac{R}{100})^2 = \frac{134832}{100} \\

(1+\frac{R}{100})^2 = \frac{134832}{120000} \\

(1+\frac{R}{100})^2 = \frac{11236}{10000} \\

(1+\frac{R}{100}) = \frac{106}{100} \\
=> R = 6\%
\end{aligned}

1. 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}

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. 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}

4. 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%

5. 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}
