## Karnataka 1st PUC Basic Maths Question Bank Chapter 8 Simple Interest, and Compound Interest

Question 1.
Find simple Interest on Rs 7,300 from 15 may 2009 to 8th October 2009 at 10% p.a.
Given P = Rs.7,300, R = 10%
Time = May + June + July + Aug + Sept. + Oct.
= 16 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 30 + 8 = l46days.

Question 2.
Determine the principal which will amount to Rs. 15,000 in 4 years at 8% p.a.

Question 3.
In how many years will a sum of money double itself at 18.75% p.a simple interest.
Let the principal be Rs. P, then amount = Rs. 2P
∴ SI = Amount – PrincipIe = Rs. 2P – P = P; R = 18.75% p.a

Question 4.
Kumar borrowed some many at the rate of 6% p.a for the first two years, at the rate of 9% p.a. for the next three years, and at the rate of 14% p.a. for the period beyond live years. If he pays a total interest of Rs. 11,400 at the end of nine years, how much money did he borrow.
Let the sum borrowed be x. then

Hence sum borrowed = Rs. 12,000

Compound Interest

Question 1.
Find the CI amount and Cl on Rs. 12,000 for 3 years at 10% p.a. compounded annually.
P = 12,000, n = 3,R = 10%p.a
We have amount A

∴ C.I = A.P = 15972 – 12000 = Rs. 3972

Question 2.
At what percent p.a. will a sum of Rs. 5,000 become Rs. 8,000 if the loan given for 4 years attract compound interest?
Given A = Rs. 8000, P = Rs. 5000, n = 4, R = ?

Question 3.
Compute the CI. on Rs. 12,000 for 2 years at 20% p.a. when compounded half yearly.
Given P = 12,000, R = 20% p.a. and n = 2

= 12000$$\left(\frac{11}{10}\right)^{4}$$ = 12000 (1.4641) = 17569.20
A = Rs. 17,569.20
∴ Compound Interest = A – P = 17,569.20 – 12,000 = Rs. 5,569.20

Question 4.
A sum of money doubles itself at compound an Interest in 15 years. In how many years will it become eight times.
Let the sum of the money be Rs. P is interested at the rate of R% p.a. It is given that the moñey double it self in 15 years

∴ the money will become 8 times in 45 years.

Question 5.
The population of a town in increasing at the rate of 5% p.a. What will be the population of the two as thus basic after two years if the present population is 20,0000.
We have poplulation after 2 years = $$\mathrm{p}\left(1+\frac{\mathrm{R}}{100}\right)^{n}$$
