Test: Arun Sharma Based Level 1: Percentages - Question 10

Find the least number of integral years in which a sum of money invested at 20% compound interest per annum will become more than double itself.

Detailed Solution for Test: Arun Sharma Based Level 1: Percentages - Question 10

Given Data:

Compound Interest Rate (r): 20% or 0.20

The sum of money is more than doubled.

Concept:

The formula for compound interest is A = P(1+r/n)(nt), where P is the principal amount, r is the annual interest rate, n is the number of times interest is compounded per year, t is the time the money is invested for in years. When compounded annually (n=1), this simplifies to A = P(1+r)t.

Solution:

We know that the formula for compound interest, when compounded annually, is A = P(1 + r)^t. Here, we want to find the smallest whole number for time t so that A > 2P.

Substituting A as 2P and r as 0.20 into the formula, we get, ⇒ 2 = (1 + 0.20)t ⇒ 2 = 1.20t

We can now try different values for t until we reach a number where 1.20t > 2.

Using t = 1, we get 1.201 = 1.20 which is not greater than 2.

Using t = 2, 1.202 = 1.44 which is not greater than 2.

Using t = 3, 1.203 = 1.728 which is not greater than 2.

Using t = 4, 1.204 = 2.0736 which is greater than 2.

Therefore, the least number of complete years in which a sum of money put out at 20% compound interest will be more than doubled is 4 years.

Test: Arun Sharma Based Level 1: Percentages - Question 13

A, B and C donate 8%, 7% and 9%, of their salaries, respectively to a charitable trust. The salaries of A and B are same and the difference between their donations is 259. The total donation of A and B is 1185 more than that of C. The total donation of A and C is what percentage of the total salaries of A, B and C?

Detailed Solution for Test: Arun Sharma Based Level 1: Percentages - Question 13

Let salaries of A and B be Rs. x and salary of C be Rs. y, then

8x/100 – 7x/100 = 259

⇒ x/100 = 259

⇒ x = 25900

Salaries of A and B is Rs. 25900.

Donation of A and B = 25900 × (8 + 7)/100 = 25900 × 15/100 = 3885

Donation of C = 3885 – 1185 = 2700

y × (9/100) = 2700

⇒ y = 30,000

Sum of salaries of A, B and C = 25900 + 25900 + 30000 = 81800

Donation of A = 259 × (8/100) = 2072

Total donation of A and C = 2072 + 2700 = 4772

Percentage of total donation of total salaries of A, B and C = (4772/81800) × 100 = 5.8%

Short Trick:

Let salaries of A, B be 100%

⇒ 8% – 7% = 259

⇒ 1% = 259

⇒ 8% = 2072

⇒ 15% = 3885

⇒ 100% = 25900

Donation of C = 3885 – 1185 = 2700

⇒ 9% = 2700

⇒ 100% = 30,000

Total donation of A and C = 2072 + 2700 = 4772

Total salaries of A, B and C = 25900 + 25900 + 30000 = 81800

∴ Required percentage = 4772/81800 × 100 = 5.8%
