A man borrows $Rs.10,000$ at $10\%$ compound interest compounded yearly. At the end of each year, he pays back $20\%$ of the amount for that year. How much money is left unpaid just after the second year ?
AnswerFor $1^{\text {st }}$ year :
$P= Rs. 10,000 ; R=10 \%$ and $T=1$ year
Interest $=\text { Rs. } \frac{10,000 \times 10 \times 1}{100}=\text { Rs. } 1,000$
Amount at the end of $1^{\text {st }}$ year $= Rs. 10,000+ Rs. 1,000= Rs. 11,000$
Money paid at the end of $1^{\text {st }}$ year $=20 \%$ of Rs. $11,000= Rs. 2,200$
$\therefore$ Principal for $2^{\text {nd }}$ year $= Rs. 11,000- Rs. 2,200= Rs. 8,800$
For $2^{\text {nd }}$ year :
$P= Rs. 8,800 ; R=10 \%$ and $T=1$ year
Interest $=\text { Rs. } \frac{8,800 \times 10 \times 1}{100}=\text { Rs. } 880$
Amount at the end of $2^{\text {nd }}$ year $= Rs. 8,800+ Rs. 880= Rs. 9,680$
Money paid at the end of $2^{\text {nd }}$ year $=20 \%$ of $Rs. 9,680= Rs. 1,936$
$\therefore$ Principal for $3^{\text {rd }}$ year $= Rs. 9,680- Rs. 1,936= Rs. 7,744$.

A man borrows $ Rs. 6,000$ at $5\%$ C.I. per annum. If he repays $Rs. 1,200$ at the end of each year, find the amount of the loan outstanding at the beginning of the third year.
AnswerGiven that the amount borrowed $= Rs. 6,000 .$
Rate per annum $=5 \%$
Interest on $Rs. 6,000=\frac{5}{100} \times Rs. 6,000= Rs. 300$
So, amount at the end of the first year $= Rs. 6,000+ Rs. 300= Rs. 6,300$
Amount left to be paid $= Rs. 6,300 - Rs. 1,200= Rs. 5,100 .$
Interest on $Rs. 5,100=\frac{5}{100} \times Rs. 5,100= Rs. 255$
So, amount at the end of the second year $= Rs. 5,100 + Rs. 255= Rs. 5,355 .$
Amount left to be paid $= Rs. 5,355 - Rs. 1,200 = Rs. 4,155.$
Hence, the amount of the loan outs \tan ding at the beginning of the third year is $Rs. 4,155$.

Ashok borrowed $Rs. 12,000$ at some rate on compound interest. After a year, he paid back $Rs.4,000$. If the compound interest for the second year is $Rs. 920,$ find:
- The rate of interest charged
- The amount of debt at the end of the second year
Answer$(i)$ Let $\mathrm{X} \%$ be the rate of interest charged.
For $1^{\text {st }}$ year :
$P=\text { Rs. } 12,000, R=X \%$ and $T=1$
$ \Rightarrow$ Interest$(I)=\frac{12,000 \times X \times 1}{100}=120 X$
For $2^{\text {nd }}$ year:
After a year, Ashok paid back $Rs. 4,000.$
$P=\text { Rs. } 12,000+\text { Rs. } 120 X-\text { Rs. } 4,000=\text { Rs. } 8,000+\text { Rs. } 120X$
$\Rightarrow$ Interest$(I)=\frac{(8000+120 X) \times 1}{100}=\left(80 X+1.20 X^2\right)$
The compound interest for the second year is $Rs. 920 .$
$\text { Rs. }\left(80 X+1.20 X^2\right)=\text { Rs. } 920$
$ \Rightarrow 1.20 X^2+80 X-920=0$
$ \Rightarrow 3 X^2+200 X-2300=0$
$ \Rightarrow 3 X^2+230 X-30 X-2300=0$
$ \Rightarrow X(3 X+230)-10(3 X+230)=0$
$ \Rightarrow(3 X+230)(X-10)=0$
$ \Rightarrow X=-230 / 3 \text { or } X=10$
As rate of interest cannot be negative so $x=10$.
Therefore the rate of interest charged is $10 \%$.
$(ii)$ For $1^{\text {st }}$ year :
Interest$ = Rs. 120 \mathrm{X}=\text { Rs. } 1200$
For $2^{\text {nd }}$ year :
Interest $=\text { Rs. }\left(80 X+1.20 X^2\right)=\text { Rs. } 920$
The amount of debt at the end of the second year is equal to the addition of principal of the second year and interest for the two years.
Debt$=\text { Rs. } 8,000+\text { Rs. } 1200+\text { Rs. } 920=\text { Rs. } 10,120$

AnswerFor $1^{\text {st }}$ year :
$P= Rs. 48,000 ; R=10 \%$ and $T=1$ year
Interest$=\text { Rs. } \frac{48,000 \times 10 \times 1}{100}=\text { Rs. } 4,800$
Amount $=Rs. 48,000+ Rs. 4,800=Rs. 52,800$
For $2^{\text {nd }}$ year :
$P= Rs. 52,800 ; R=10 \%$ and $T=1$ year
Interest$=\text { Rs. } \frac{52,800 \times 10 \times 1}{100}=\text { Rs. 5,280 }$
Amount $= Rs. 52,800+ Rs. 5,280= Rs. 58,080$
For $3^{\text {rd }}$ year :
$P= Rs. 58,080 ; R=10 \%$ and $T=1$ year
Interest$=\text { Rs. } \frac{58,080 \times 10 \times 1}{100}=\text { Rs. 5,808 }$

Find the sum on which the difference between the simple interest and compound interest at the rate of $8\%$ per annum compounded annually would be $Rs. 64$ in $2$ years.
AnswerLet $Rs, X$ be the $\sum.$
Simple Interest$(I)=\frac{X \times 8 \times 2}{100}=0.16 X$
Compound interest
For $1^{\text {st }}$ year :
$P=\text { Rs. } X_i R=8 \%$ and $T=1$
$\Rightarrow$ Interest $(I)=\frac{X \times 8 \times 1}{100}=0.08 X$
And amount $=\text{₹}(x+0.08 x)$
$\text { = ₹ } 1.08 \mathrm{x}$
For $2^{\text {nd }}$ year :
$P=\text { Rs. } X+\text { Rs. } 0.08 X=\text { Rs. } 1.08 X$
$ \Rightarrow \text { Interest }(I)=\frac{1.08 \mathrm{X} \times 8 \times 1}{100}=0.0864 X$
And, amount $=\text{₹}(1.08 x+0.0864 x)$
$=\text{₹} 1.1664 \mathrm{x}$
So,
$C.I =$ Amount $-p$
$=\text{₹}(1.1664 x-x)$
$=\text{₹} 0.1664 x$
The difference between the simple interest and compound interest at the rate of $8 \%$ per annum compounded annually should be $Rs. 64$ in $2$ years.
$\text{₹} 0.1664 x-\text{₹} 0.16 x=\text{₹} 64$
$\text{₹} 0.0064 \mathrm{x}=\text{₹} 64$
$x=\text{₹} 10000$
Therefore, the $\sum$ is $\text{₹ 10,000}$.

AnswerLet Principal $= Rs. 100$
For $1^{\text {st }}$ year
$P= Rs. 100 ; R=10 \%$ and $T=1$ year
Interest$=\text { Rs. } \frac{100 \times 10 \times 1}{100}=\text { Rs. } 10$
Amount $= Rs. 100+ Rs. 10= Rs. 110$
For $2^{\text {nd }}$ year
$P= Rs. 110 ; R=10 \%$ and $T=1$ year
Interest$=\text { Rs. } \frac{110 \times 10 \times 1}{100}=\text { Rs. } 11$
Amount $= Rs. 110+ Rs. 11= Rs. 121$
For $3^{\text {rd }}$ year
$P= Rs. 121 ; R=10 \%$ and $T=1$ year
Interest$=\text { Rs } \frac{121 \times 10 \times 1}{100}=\text { Rs. } 12.10$
Sum of $C.I.$ for $1^{\text {st }}$ year and $3^{\text {rd }}$ year $= Rs. 10+ Rs. 12 \cdot 10= Rs. 22 \cdot 10$
When$\sum$ is $Rs. 22.10$ , principal is $Rs. 100$
When $\sum$ is $Rs. 2,652$, principal $= Rs. \frac{100 \times 2652}{22.10}$

- The rate of depreciation.
- The original cost of the machine.
- Its cost at the end of the third year.
Answer$(i)$ Difference between depreciation in value between the first and second years $Rs. 4,000 - Rs.3,600=Rs. 400.$
$\Rightarrow$ Depreciation of one year on $Rs. 4,000= Rs. 400$
$\Rightarrow$ Rate of depreciation $=\frac{400}{4000} \times 100 \%=10 \%$
$(ii)$ Let $Rs. 100$ be the original cost of the machine.
Depreciation during the $1^{\text {st }}$ year $=10 \%$ of $Rs. 100= Rs. 10$
When the values depreciates by $Rs. 10$ during the $1^{\text {st }}$ year, Original cost $= Rs. 100$
$\Rightarrow$ When the depreciation during $1^{\text {st }}$ year $= Rs. 4,000$
Original Cost $=\frac{100}{10} \times 4000= Rs. 40,000$

A man borrows $Rs.10,000$ at $10\%$ compound interest compounded yearly. At the end of each year, he pays back $20\%$ of the amount for that year. How much money is left unpaid just after the second year ?
AnswerFor $1^{\text {st }}$ year :
$P=Rs. 10,000 ; R=10 \%$ and $T=1$ year
Interest$=\text { Rs. } \frac{10,000 \times 10 \times 1}{100}=\text { Rs. } 1,000$
Amount at the end of $1^{\text {st }}$ year $=Rs. 10,000+Rs. 1,000= Rs. 11,000$
Money paid at the end of $1^{\text {st }}$ year $=20 \%$ of $Rs. 11,000= Rs. 2,200$
$\therefore$ Principal for $2^{\text {nd }}$ year $= Rs. 11,000-Rs. 2,200= Rs. 8,800$
For $2^{\text {nd }}$ year :
$P=Rs. 8,800 ; R=10 \%$ and $T=1$ year
Interest$=\text { Rs. } \frac{8,800 \times 10 \times 1}{100}=\text { Rs. } 880$
Amount at the end of $2^{\text {nd }}$ year $=Rs. 8,800+Rs. 880= Rs. 9,680$
Money paid at the end of $2^{\text {nd }}$ year $=20 \%$ of $Rs. 9,680=Rs. 1,936$

On a certain sum of money, the difference between the compound interest for a year, payable half$-$yearly, and the simple interest for a year is $Rs. 180/-$ Find the sum lent out, if the rate of interest in both the cases is $10\%$ per annum.
AnswerLet principal $p=Rs. 100 ; R=10 \% ; T=1$ year
$\text { SI }=\frac{100 \times 10 \times 1}{100}=\text { Rs. } 10 \text {. }$
$\mathrm{Cl}$ payable at every 6 months
So, $R=\frac{10}{2}=5 \%$
$I=\frac{100 \times 5 \times 1}{100}=\text { Rs. } 5$
$A=100+5=\text { Rs. } 105$
For second year
$P=\text { Rs. } 105$
$I=\frac{105 \times 5 \times 1}{100}=\text { Rs. } 5.25$
Total compound interest $=5+5.25= Rs. 10.25$
Difference of $\mathrm{Cl}$ and $\mathrm{SI}=10.25-10= Rs. 0.25$
When difference in interest is $Rs. 0.25 , \sum = Rs. 100 .$
If the difference is $Rs. 1$ then
$\sum=\frac{100}{0.25}$
If the difference is $Rs. =180$ then
$\sum=\frac{100}{0.25} \times 180=\text { Rs. } 72,000$

A man borrows $Rs.5,000$ at $12$ percent compound interest payable every six months. He repays $Rs.1,800$ at the end of every six months. Calculate the third payment he has to make at the end of $18$ months in order to clear the entire loan.
AnswerFor $1^{\text {st }}$ six months :
$P=Rs. 5,000, R=12 \%$ and $T=6$ months $=\frac{1}{2}$ year
$\therefore$ Interest $=\frac{5,000 \times 12 \times 1}{2 \times 100}=Rs. 300 .$
And, Amount $=Rs. 5,000+Rs. 300= Rs. 5,300$
Since, money repaid $= Rs. 1,800$
Balance $= Rs. 5,300-Rs. 1,800= Rs. 3,500$
For $2^{\text {nd }}$ six months :
$P= Rs. 3,500, R=12 \%$ and $T=6$ months $=\frac{1}{2}$ year
$\therefore$ Interest $=\frac{3,500 \times 12 \times 1}{2 \times 100}=\text { Rs. } 210 \text {. }$
And, Amount $=Rs. 3,500+ Rs. 210= Rs. 3,710 .$
Again money repaid $= Rs. 1,800$
Balance $=Rs. 3,710-Rs. 1,800= Rs. 1,910 .$
For $3^{\text {rd }}$ six months :
$P=Rs. 1,910, R=12 \%$ and $T=6$ months $=\frac{1}{2}$ year
$\therefore$ Interest $=\frac{1,910 \times 12 \times 1}{2 \times 100}= Rs. 114.60 .$
And, Amount $=Rs. 1,910+ Rs. 114.60= Rs. 2,024.60$
Thus, the $3^{\text {rd }}$ payment to be made to clear the entire loan is $2,024.60$.

A man borrows $Rs. 6,000$ at $5\% C.I.$ per annum. If he repays $Rs. 1,200$ at the end of each year, find the amount of the loan outstanding at the beginning of the third year.
AnswerGiven that the amount borrowed $= Rs. 6,000 .$
Rate per annum $=5 \%$
Interest on $Rs. 6,000=\frac{5}{100} \times Rs. 6,000= Rs. 300$
So, amount at the end of the first year $=Rs. 6,000+ Rs. 300= Rs. 6,300$
Amount left to be paid $= Rs. 6,300 - Rs. 1,200= Rs. 5,100 .$
Interest on $Rs. 5,100=\frac{5}{100} \times Rs. 5,100= Rs. 255$
So, amount at the end of the second year $= Rs. 5,100 + Rs. 255= Rs. 5,355.$
Amount left to be paid $= Rs. 5,355 - Rs. 1,200 = Rs. 4,155.$

A sum of money is lent at $8\%$ per annum compound interest. If the interest for the second year exceeds that for the first year by $Rs. 96$, find the sum of money.
AnswerLet money be $Rs. 100$
For $1^{\text {st }}$ year
$P=\text { Rs. } 100 ; R=8 \%$ and $T=1$ year.
Interest for the first year $=\text { Rs. } \frac{100 \times 8 \times 1}{100}=\text { Rs. } 8$
Amount $= Rs. 100+ Rs. 8 = Rs. 108$
For $2^{\text {nd }}$ year
$P=\text { Rs. } 108 ; R=8 \%$ and $T=1$ year.
Interest for the second year$= Rs.\frac{108 \times 8 \times 1}{100}=\text { Rs. } 8.64$
Difference between the interests for the second and first year $= Rs. 8.64 - Rs. 8= Rs. 0.64$
Given that interest for the second year exceeds the first year by $Rs. 96 .$
When the difference between the interests is $Rs. 0.64 ,$ principal is $Rs. 100$
When the difference between the interests is $Rs.96$, principal $= Rs. \frac{96 \times 100}{0.64}= Rs. 15,000 .$

A man lends $Rs. 12,500$ at $12\%$ for the first year, at $15\%$ for the second year and at $18\%$ for the third year. If the rates of interest are compounded yearly ; find the difference between the $C.I.$ fo the first year and the compound interest for the third year.
AnswerFor $1^{\text {st }}$ year
$P= Rs. 12500 ; R=12 \% ; R=1$ year
$\mathrm{I}=\frac{12500 \times 12 \times 1}{100}=\text { Rs. } 1500$
$A=12500+1500=\text { Rs. } 14000$
For $2^{\text {nd }}$ year
$P= Rs. 14000 ; R=15 \% ; T=1$ year
$I=\frac{14000 \times 15 \times 1}{100}=\text { Rs. } 2100$
$A=14000+2100=\text { Rs. } 16100$
For $3^{\text {rd }}$ year
$P= Rs. 16100 ; R=18 \% ; T=1$ year
$\text { I }=\frac{16100 \times 18 \times 1}{100}=\text { Rs. } 2898$
$A=16100+2898=\text { Rs. } 18,998$
Difference between the compound interest of the third year and first year
$=\text { Rs. } 2898-\text { Rs. } 1500$
$ =\text { Rs. } 1398$

Calculate the difference between the simple interest and the compound interest on $Rs. 4,000$ in $2$ years at $8\%$ per annum compounded yearly.
AnswerFor $1^{\text {st }}$ year
$P=\text { Rs. } 4000$
$ R=8$
$ T=1$ year
$\mathrm{T}=1$ year
$I=\frac{4000 \times 8 \times 1}{100}=320$
$A=4000+320=\text { Rs. } 4320$
For $2^{\text {nd }}$ year
$P=\text { Rs. } 4320$
$ R=8 \%$
$ T=1$ year
$ I=\frac{4320 \times 8 \times 1}{100}=\text { Rs. } 345.60$
$A=4320+345.60=4665.60$
Compound interest $=\text { Rs. } 4665.60-\text { Rs. } 4000=\text { Rs. } 665.60$
Simple interest for $2$ years$=\frac{4000 \times 8 \times 2}{100}=\text { Rs. } 640$
Difference of $\mathrm{Cl}$ and $\mathrm{SI}=665.60-640= Rs 25.60 .$

A man borrows $Rs. 10,000$ at $5\%$ per annum compound interest. He repays $35\%$ of the sum borrowed at the end of the first year and $42\%$ of the sum borrowed at the end of the second year. How much must he pay at the end of the third year in order to clear the debt ?
AnswerFor the first year,
$P_1=10,000, R=5 \%$
$ I_1=\frac{10,000 \times 5 \times 1}{100}$
$ I_1=500$
$A_1=10,000+500=\text { Rs. } 10,500 .$
At the end of the first year, he repays $35 \%$ of the sum borrowed so he repays the amount
$=10,500-35 \% \text { of } 10,000$
$ =10,500-\frac{35}{100} \times 10,000$
$ =10,500-3,500$
$ =\text { Rs. } 7,000 .$
For the second year,
$P_2=\text { Rs. } 7000, R=5 \%$
$\mathrm{I}_2=\frac{7,000 \times 5 \times 1}{100}=350$
$A_2=7000+350=\text { Rs. } 7,350$
At the end of the second year, he repays $42 \%$ of the sum borrowed so he repays the amount $=$
$=7,350-\frac{42}{100} \times 10,000$
$ =7350-4200$
$ =\text { Rs. } 3150$
For the Third year
$P_3=\text { Rs. } 3150, R=5 \%$
$I_3=\frac{3150 \times 5 \times 1}{100}=157.5$
$A_3=3150+157.5=\text { Rs. } 3307.50$
Hence he pays $Rs. 3307.50$ at the end of the third year in order to clear the debt.

AnswerTo calculate $S.I.$
$P=\text { Rs. } 18,000 ; R=10 \%$ and $T=1$ year
$ \text { S.I. }=\text { Rs. } \frac{18,000 \times 10 \times 1}{100}=\text { Rs. } 1,800 .$
To calculate $C.I.$
For $1^{\text {st }}$ half$-$year :
$P=Rs. 18,000 ; R=10 \%$ and $T=\frac{1}{2}$ year
Interest $=\text { Rs. } \frac{18,000 \times 10 \times 1}{100 \times 2}=\text { Rs. } 900$
Amount $= Rs. 18,000+ Rs. 900=Rs. 18,900$
For $2^{\text {nd }}$ year :
$P=Rs. 18,900 ; R=10 \%$ and $T=\frac{1}{2}$ year
Interest$= Rs. \frac{18,900 \times 10 \times 1}{100 \times 2}=\text { Rs. } 945 \text {. }$
Amount$= Rs. 18,900+ Rs. 945=Rs. 19,845$
Compound interest $= Rs. 19,845- Rs. 18,000= Rs. 1,845$
His gain $= Rs. 1,845- Rs. 1,800= Rs. 45$
