Question 7 Compound Interest Exercise 2.2

Find the difference between the simple interest and compound interest on 2 years at 4% per annum,

compound interest being reckoned semi-annually.

Answer:

It is given that

Principal (P) = ₹ 2500

Rate of interest (r) = 4% p.a. or 2% half-yearly

Period (n) = 2 years or 4 half-years

We know that

SI = Prt/100

Substituting the values

= (2500 × 4 × 2)/100

= ₹ 200

If compounded semi-annually

\begin{aligned} &\mathrm{A}=\mathrm{P}(1+\mathrm{r} / 100)^{\mathrm{n}}\\ &\text { Substituting the values }\\ &=2500(1+2 / 100)^{4} \end{aligned}

By further calculation

= 2500 × 51/50 × 51/50 × 51/50 × 51/50

= ₹ 2706.08

We know that

CI = A – P

Substituting the values

= 2706.08 – 2500

= ₹ 206.08

So the difference between CI and SI = 206.08 – 200 = ₹ 6.08

What is the difference between the simple interest and the compound interest on 5000 for 2 years at 6% per annum?

Case I :
Here P1 = Rs.5000 and r = 6%
So, Amount after 1 year 
= `"P"(1 + "r"/100)`

= `5000(1 + 6/100)`

= `5000 xx (106)/(100)`
= 5300
Amount after 2 year
= `"P"(1 + "r"/100)`

= `5300(1 + 6/100)`

= `5300 xx (106)/(100)`
= 5618
Thus, P3 = Rs.5618 and r = 6%
Amount after 3 year
= `"P"(1 + "r"/100)`

= `5618(1+ 6/100)`

= `5618 xx (106)/(100)`
= 5955.08
Hence, Amount = Rs.5955.08
Also, C.I.
= A - P
= Rs.5955.08 - Rs.5000
= Rs. 955.08
Case II :
Simple interest  = `(5000 xx 6 xx 3)/(100)`
= 900
Difference between C.I. and S.I.
= Rs.955.08 - Rs.900
= Rs.55.08.

The difference between compound interest and simple interest at the same rate on Rs. 5000 for 2 years is Rs. 72. Find the rate of interest per annum.

10 Questions 10 Marks 7 Mins

Given: 

Difference between Compound Interest (CI) and Simple Interest (SI) = Rs. 72

Principal (P)= Rs. 5000

Time (t) = 2 years

Formula used:

Difference between CI and SI  for 2 years = PR2/1002

Where R is the Rate of Interest.

Calculation:

Using the above formula:

72 = (5000 × R2)/1002

⇒ R2 = 720/5 = 144

⇒ R = 12%

∴ The rate of interest is 12%

Option 3 : Rs. 72

Free

20 Questions 30 Marks 18 Mins

Given:

The sum = Rs. 5000

The time = 2 years

The rate = 12%

Formula used:

The difference between CI and SI for two years = \(P \times {({R\over 100})^2}\)     Where, P = Principle, and R = Rate

Calculation:

Let the difference between CI and SI be X

⇒ X = \(5000 \times {({12\over 100})^2}\) = \({5000\ \times {144\over 10000}}\ =\ {5\ \times 14.4}\ =\ Rs.\ 72\)

∴ The required result will be Rs. 72.

What is the difference between simple interest and compound interest for a period of 2 years?

Generally, simple interest paid or received over a certain period is a fixed percentage of the principal amount that was borrowed or lent. Compound interest accrues and is added to the accumulated interest of previous periods, so borrowers must pay interest on interest as well as principal.

What will be the compound interest on 5000 in 2 years?

∴ Compound interest is Rs.1050 Stay updated with the Quantitative Aptitude questions & answers with Testbook.
