1. Calculate the amount and compound interest on 
(i) Rs 15000 for 2 years at 10% per annum compounded annually. 
(ii) Rs 156250 for &
&
3
 years at 8% per annum compounded half-
yearly. 
(iii) Rs 100000 for 9 months at 4% per annum compounded quarterly. 
Solution: 
(i) Given 
Principal (P) = Rs 15000 
Rate (R) = 10% p.a. 
Period (n) = 2 years 
Hence, 
Amount (A) = 0 1 + 



2
 
= Rs 15000 1 + 




 
On further calculation, we get, 
= Rs 15000 × 


 × 


 
We get, 
= Rs 18150 
Therefore, 
Compound interest = Amount – Principal 
= Rs 18150 – 15000
