Question 1:

Compute the amount and the compound interest in each of the following by using the formulae when:
 (i) Principal = Rs 3000, Rate = 5%, Time = 2 years
 (ii) Principal = Rs 3000, Rate = 18%, Time = 2 years
 (iii) Principal = Rs 5000, Rate = 10 paise per rupee per annum, Time = 2 years
 (iv) Principal = Rs 2000, Rate = 4 paise per rupee per annum, Time = 3 years
 (v) Principal = Rs 12800, Rate =  7(1/2)%, Time = 3 years
 (vi) Principal = Rs 10000, Rate 20% per annum compounded half-yearly, Time = 2 years
 (vii) Principal = Rs 160000, Rate = 10 paise per rupee per annum compounded half-yearly, Time = 2 years.

ANSWER:

Applying the rule A = P(1 + R/100)n on the given situations, we get:

(i)A = 3,000(1 + 5/100)²

= 3,000(1.05)²

= Rs 3,307.50

Now,CI = A − P

= Rs 3,307.50 − Rs 3,000

= Rs 307.50

(ii)A = 3,000(1 + 18/100)²

= 3,000(1.18)²

= Rs 4,177.20

Now,CI = A − P

= Rs 4,177.20 − Rs 3,000

= Rs 1,177.20

(iii)A = 5,000(1 + 10/100)²

= 5,000(1.10)²

= Rs 6,050

Now,CI = A − P

= Rs 6,050 − Rs 5,000

= Rs 1,050

(iv)A = 2,000(1 + 4/100)³

= 2,000(1.04)³

= Rs 2,249.68

Now,CI = A − P

= Rs 2,249.68 − Rs 2,000

= Rs 249.68

(v)A = 12,800(1 + 7.5/100)³

= 12,800(1.075)³

= Rs 15,901.40

Now,CI = A − P

= Rs 15,901.40 − Rs 12,800

= Rs 3,101.40

(vi)A = 10,000(1 + 20/200)4

= 10,000(1.1)

= Rs 14,641

Now,CI = A − P

= Rs 14,641 − Rs 10,000

= Rs 4,641

(vii)A = 16,000(1 + 10/200)4

= 16,000(1.05)4

= Rs 19,448.1

Now,CI = A − P

= Rs 19,448.1 − Rs 16,000

= Rs 3,448.1

Question 2:

Find the amount of Rs 2400 after 3 years, when the interest is compounded annually at the rate of 20% per annum.

ANSWER:

Given: P = Rs 2,400

R = 20% p.a.

n = 3 years

We know that amount A at the end of n years at the rate R% per annum when the interest is compounded annually is given by

 A = P(1 + R/100)n

∴ A = 2,400(1 + 20100)³        

= 2,400(1.2)³        

= 4,147.20

Thus, the required amount is Rs 4,147.20.

Question 3:

Rahman lent Rs 16000 to Rasheed at the rate of 12.5% per annum compound interest. Find the amount payable by Rasheed to Rahman after 3 years.

ANSWER:

Given: P = Rs 16,000 

R = 12.5% p.a.

n = 3 years

We know that amount A at the end of n years at the rate R% per annum when the interest is compounded annually is given by 

A = P(1 + R/100)n.

∴ A = 16,000(1 + 12.5/100)³       

  = 16,000(1.125)³        

= 22,781.25

Thus, the required amount is Rs 22,781.25.

Question 4:

Meera borrowed a sum of Rs 1000 from Sita for two years. If the rate of interest is 10% compounded annually, find the amount that Meera has to pay back.

ANSWER:

Given: P = Rs 1,000

R = 10% p.a. 

n = 2 years

We know that amount A at the end of n years at the rate R% per annum when the interest is compounded annually is given by 

A = P(1 + R/100).

∴ A = 1,000(1 + 10/100)²

= 1,000(1.1)² = 1,210

Thus, the required amount is Rs 1,210.

Question 5:

Find the difference between the compound interest and simple interest. On a sum of Rs 50,000 at 10% per annum for 2 years.

ANSWER:

Given: P = Rs 50,000

R = 10% p.a. 

n = 2 years

We know that amount A at the end of n years at the rate R% per annum when the interest is compounded annually is given by 

A = P(1 + R/100)

.∴ A = Rs 50,000(1 + 10/100)²        

= Rs 50,000(1.1)²        

= Rs 60,500

Also,CI = A − P    

= Rs 60,500 −  Rs 50,000    

= Rs 10,500

We know that:

Chapter 14 - Compound Interest (Part - 2), Class 8, Maths RD Sharma Solutions | RD Sharma Solutions for Class 8 Mathematics

∴ Difference between CI and SI = Rs 10,500 − Rs 10,000                                                         

= Rs 500

Question 6:

Amit borrowed Rs 16000 at 17.5% per annum simple interest. On the same day, he lent it to Ashu at the same rate but compounded annually. What does he gain at the end of 2 years?

ANSWER:

Amount to be paid by Amit: 

Chapter 14 - Compound Interest (Part - 2), Class 8, Maths RD Sharma Solutions | RD Sharma Solutions for Class 8 Mathematics

= Rs 5,600

Amount gained by Amit:A = P(1 + R/100)n   

= Rs 16,000(1 + 17.5/100)²   

= Rs 16,000(1.175)²   

= Rs 22,090

We know that:CI = A − P    

= Rs 22,090 − Rs 16,000     = Rs 6090

Amit's gain in the whole transaction = Rs 6,090 − Rs 5,600                                                               

= Rs 490

Find the amount of Rs 4096 for 18 months at 12.5% per annum, the interest being compounded semi-annually.

ANSWER:

Given:P = Rs 4,096

R = 12.5% p.a.

n = 18 months = 1.5 years

We have:A = P(1 + R/100)n

When the interest is compounded semi − annually, we have:

A = P(1 + R/200)²n  

= Rs 4,096(1 + 12.5/200)³  

= Rs 4,096(1.0625)³  

= Rs 4,913

Thus, the required amount is Rs 4,913.

ANSWER:

Given: P = Rs 57,600

R = 12.5% p.a.

n = 1.5 years

When the interest is compounded half − yearly, we have: 

A = P(1 + R/200)²n  

= Rs 57,600(1 + 12.5/200)³

ANSWER:

Given:P = Rs 64,000

R = 5% p.a.

 n = 1.5 years

When the interest is compounded half − yearly, we have:

A = P(1 + R/200)²n  

= Rs 64,000(1 + 5/200)³  

= Rs 64,000(1.025)³  

= Rs 68,921

Also,CI = A − P    

= Rs 68,921 − Rs 64,000    

= Rs 4,921

Thus, the required interest is Rs 4,921.

Question 19:

Find the compound interest at the rate of 5% for three years on that principal which in three years at the rate of 5% per annum gives Rs 12000 as simple interest.

ANSWER:

Chapter 14 - Compound Interest (Part - 2), Class 8, Maths RD Sharma Solutions | RD Sharma Solutions for Class 8 Mathematics

According to the given values, we have:

Chapter 14 - Compound Interest (Part - 2), Class 8, Maths RD Sharma Solutions | RD Sharma Solutions for Class 8 Mathematics

= 80,000

The principal is to be compounded annually.

 So, A = P(1 + R/100)n    

= 80,000(1 + 5/100)³    

= 80,000(1.05)³    

= 92,610

Now,CI = A − P    

= 92,610 − 80,000    

= 12,610

Thus, the required compound interest is Rs 12,610.

Question 20:

A sum of money was lent for 2 years at 20% compounded annually. If the interest is payable half-yearly instead of yearly, then the interest is Rs 482 more. Find the sum.

ANSWER:

A = P(1 + R/100)n

Also, P = A − CI

Let the sum of money be Rs x.

If the interest is compounded annually, then:

A1 = x(1 + 20/100)²    

= 1.44x

∴ CI = 1.44x − x         

= 0.44x         ...(1)

If the interest is compounded half − yearly, then:

A = x(1 + 10/100)4     

= 1.4641x

∴ CI = 1.4641x − x         

= 0.4641x    ...(2)

It is given that if interest is compounded half − yearly, then it will be Rs 482 more.

∴0.4641x = 0.44x + 482    [From (1) and (2)]

0.4641x − 0.44x = 482

0.0241x = 482

x = 482/0.0241  

= 20,000

Thus, the required sum is Rs 20,000.

Question 21:

Simple interest on a sum of money for 2 years at 6.5% per annum is Rs 5200. What will be the compound interest on the sum at the same rate for the same period?

ANSWER:

Chapter 14 - Compound Interest (Part - 2), Class 8, Maths RD Sharma Solutions | RD Sharma Solutions for Class 8 Mathematics

= 40,000

Now,

A = P(1 + R/100)n   

= 40,000(1 + 6.5/100)²   

= 40,000(1.065)²   

= 45,369

Also,CI = A − P    

= 45,369 − 40,000    

= 5,369

Thus, the required compound interest is Rs 5,369 

PAGE NO 14.15:

Question 22:

Find the compound interest at the rate of 5% per annum for 3 years on that principal which in 3 years at the rate of 5% per annum gives Rs 1200 as simple interest.

ANSWER:

We know that:

Chapter 14 - Compound Interest (Part - 2), Class 8, Maths RD Sharma Solutions | RD Sharma Solutions for Class 8 Mathematics

= 8,000

Now,

A = P(1 + R/100)n   

= 8,000(1 + 5/100)³   

= 8,000(1.05)³    = 9,261

Now,CI = A − P    

= 9,261 − 8,000    

= 1,261

Thus, the required compound interest is Rs 1,261.

FAQs on Chapter 14 - Compound Interest (Part - 2), Class 8, Maths RD Sharma Solutions - RD Sharma Solutions for Class 8 Mathematics

1. What is compound interest?
Ans. Compound interest is the interest calculated on the initial principal amount as well as the accumulated interest from previous periods. It is different from simple interest, where interest is only calculated on the principal amount.
2. How is compound interest calculated?
Ans. Compound interest can be calculated using the formula A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt), where A is the final amount, P is the principal amount, r is the annual interest rate, n is the number of times interest is compounded per year, and t is the time in years.
3. What is the difference between compound interest and simple interest?
Ans. The main difference between compound interest and simple interest is that compound interest takes into account the accumulated interest from previous periods, while simple interest only calculates interest on the principal amount. This means that compound interest grows at a faster rate compared to simple interest.
4. How can compound interest be beneficial?
Ans. Compound interest can be beneficial because it allows your money to grow exponentially over time. By reinvesting the accumulated interest, you can earn interest on interest, which can lead to significant growth in your savings or investments.
5. Can compound interest work against you?
Ans. Yes, compound interest can work against you if you are borrowing money instead of investing it. In the case of loans or credit cards, compound interest can quickly accumulate, making it harder to pay off the debt. It is important to understand the terms and conditions of loans and credit cards to avoid getting trapped in a cycle of increasing debt.
