Detailed Solution for Test: Compound Interest- 2 - Question 4

C.I = P[(1 + r/100)n - 1]
C.I = 3000[(1 + 0.10)2 - 1]
= 3000(1.21 - 1)
⇒ 3000 * 0.21 
⇒ 630
S.I = 630/2
⇒ 315
As we know that, P = (SI * 100)/(R * T)
⇒ (315 * 100)/(4 * 5)
⇒ 1575

Test: Compound Interest- 2 - Question 9

The compound interest on Rs. 20,480 at 6 1/4 % per annum for 2 years 73 days, is:

Detailed Solution for Test: Compound Interest- 2 - Question 9

Let's calculate the compound interest step-by-step:

Step 1: Convert the rate of interest to a decimal:

  • 6 1/4% = 6.25% = 0.0625

Step 2: Convert the time period to years:

  • 2 years and 73 days = 2 + (73/365) years = 2.2 years

Step 3: Calculate the amount using the compound interest formula:

  • Amount = Principal * (1 + Rate/100)^Time
  • Amount = 20480 * (1 + 0.0625)^2.2
  • Amount ≈ 23409

Step 4: Calculate the compound interest:

  • Compound Interest = Amount - Principal
  • Compound Interest = 23409 - 20480
  • Compound Interest = 2929

Therefore, the compound interest on Rs. 20,480 at 6 1/4% per annum for 2 years and 73 days is Rs. 2929.

So, the correct answer is option A: Rs. 2929.
