Q:

# The population of a rural region is expected to fall by 2% per year for the next 10 years. If the region’s current population is 100,000, what is the expected population 10 years from now?

 A) 81707 B) 91707 C) 61707 D) 71707

Explanation:

i=j/m

FV = PV(1 + i)^n

Q:

A sum is equally invested in two different schemes on CI at the rate of 15% and 20% for two years. If interest gained from the sum invested at 20% is Rs. 528.75 more than the sum invested at 15%, find the total sum?

 A) Rs. 7000 B) Rs. 4500 C) Rs. 9000 D) Rs. 8200

Explanation:

Let Rs. K invested in each scheme

Two years C.I on 20% = 20 + 20 + 20x20/100 = 44%

Two years C.I on 15% = 15 + 15 + 15x15/100 = 32.25%

Now,

(P x 44/100) - (P x 32.25/100) = 528.75

=> 11.75 P = 52875

=> P = Rs. 4500

Hence, total invested money = P + P = 4500 + 4500 = Rs. 9000.

Q:

What is the interest rate per annum, if a sum of money invested at compound interest amount to Rs. 2400 in 3 years and in 4 years to Rs. 2,520?

 A) 3.5% B) 4% C) 5% D) 6.5%

Explanation:

Let 'R%' be the rate of interest

From the given data,

Hence, the rate of interest R = 5% per annum.

Q:

A sum of Rs. 8,000 is deposited for 3 years at 5% per annum compound interest (compounded annually). The difference of interest for 3 years and 2 years will be

 A) Rs. 387 B) Rs. 441 C) Rs. 469 D) Rs. 503

Explanation:

Given principal amount = Rs. 8000

Time = 3yrs

Rate = 5%

C.I for 3 yrs =

Now, C.I for 2 yrs =

Hence, the required difference in C.I is 1261 - 820 = Rs. 441

Q:

Simple interest on a certain sum at 7% per annum for 4 years is Rs. 2415. What will be the compound interest on the same principal at 4% per annum in two years?

 A) Rs. 704 B) Rs. 854 C) Rs. 893 D) Rs. 914

Explanation:

We know that,

From given data, P = Rs. 8625

Now, C.I  =

Q:

Find the compound interest on Rs. 6,500 for 4 years if the rate of interest is 10% p.a. for the first 2 years and 20% per annum for the next 2 years?

 A) Rs. 3845 B) Rs. 4826 C) Rs. 5142 D) Rs. 4415

Explanation:

We know the formula for calculating

The compound interest  where P = amount, r = rate of interest, n = time

Here P = 5000, r1 = 10, r2 = 20

Then

C = Rs. 4826.

Q:

What is the difference between the compound interests on Rs. 5000 for 11⁄2 years at 4% per annum compounded yearly and half-yearly?

 A) Rs. 1.80 B) Rs. 2.04 C) Rs. 3.18 D) Rs. 4.15

Explanation:

Compound Interest for 1 12 years when interest is compounded yearly = Rs.(5304 - 5000)

Amount after 112 years when interest is compounded half-yearly

Compound Interest for 1 12 years when interest is compounded half-yearly = Rs.(5306.04 - 5000)

Difference in the compound interests = (5306.04 - 5000) - (5304 - 5000)= 5306.04 - 5304 = Rs. 2.04

Q:

The difference between simple interest and compound interest of a certain sum of money at 20% per annum for 2 years is Rs. 56. Then the sum is :

 A) Rs. 3680 B) Rs. 2650 C) Rs. 1400 D) Rs. 1170

Explanation:

We know thatThe Difference between Compound Interest and Simple Interest for n years at R rate of interest is given by

Here n = 2 years, R = 20%, C.I - S.I = 56

Q:

Find the compound interest on Rs. 2680 at 8% per annum for 2 years ?

 A) Rs. 664.21 B) Rs. 548.68 C) Rs. 445.95 D) Rs. 692.57

Explanation:

We know Compound Interest = C.I. = P1+r100t - 1

Here P = 2680, r = 8 and t = 2

C.I. = 26801 + 81002-1= 268027252-12= 26802725+12725-1= 2680 5225×225

= (2680 x 52 x 2)/625

= 445.95

Compound Interest = Rs. 445.95
