Question 1:

On what sum will the compound interest at 5% per annum for 2 years compounded annually be Rs 164?

ANSWER:

Let the sum be Rs x.

We know that:CI = A − P    

= P(1 + R/100)n − P    

= P[(1 + R/100)n − 1]

164 =  x[(1 + 5/100)² − 1]

164 = x[(1.05)² − 1]

x = 164/0.1025  

= 1,600

Thus, the required sum is Rs 1,600.

Question 2:

Find the principal if the interest compounded annually at the rate of 10% for two years is Rs 210.

ANSWER:

Let the sum be Rs x.

We know that:CI = A − P    

= P(1 + R/100)n − P    

= P[(1 + R/100)n − 1]

210 = x[(1 + 10/100)² − 1]

210 = x[(1.10)² − 1]

x = 210/0.21  

= 1,000

Thus, the required sum is Rs 1,000.

Question 3:

A sum amounts to Rs 756.25 at 10% per annum in 2 years, compounded annually. Find the sum.

ANSWER:

Let the sum be Rs x.

Then,A =  P(1 + R/100)  

= P[(1 + R/100)n]

756.25 = x[(1 + 10/100)²]

756.25 = x[(1.10)²]

x = 756.25/1.21   = 625

Thus, the required sum is Rs 625.

PAGE NO 14.20:

Question 4:

What sum will amount to Rs 4913 in 18 months, if the rate of interest is 12(1/2)% per annum, compounded half-yearly?

ANSWER:

Let the sum be Rs x.

Given: A = Rs 4913

R = 12.5% 

n = 18 months = 1.5 years

We know that:A = P(1 + R/200)²n

4,913 = P(1 + R/200)²n

4,913 = x(1 + 12.5/200)³

4,913 = x[(1.0625)³]

x = 4,913/1.1995   = 4,096

Thus, the required sum is Rs 4,096.

Question 5:

The difference between the compound interest and simple interest on a certain sum at 15% per annum for 3 years is Rs 283.50. Find the sum.

ANSWER:

Given:CI − SI = Rs 283.50

R = 15%

n = 3 years

Let the sum be Rs x.

We know that:A  =  P(1 + R/100)n    

=  P(1 + R/100)n    

= x(1 + 15/100)³     

= x(1.15)³                     ...(1)

Also,

Chapter 14 - Compound Interest (Part - 3), Class 8, Maths RD Sharma Solutions | RD Sharma Solutions for Class 8 Mathematics  =  0.45 x

A  =  SI  +  P  =  1.45x      ...(2)

Thus, we have:x(1.15)³ − 1.45x = 283.50   [From (1) and (2)]

1.523x − 1.45x = 283.50

0.070875x = 283.50

x = 283.50/0.070875   = 4,000

Thus, the sum is Rs 4,000.

Question 6:

Rachana borrowed a certain sum at the rate of 15% per annum. If she paid at the end of two years Rs 1290 as interest compounded annually, find the sum she borrowed.

ANSWER:

Let the money borrowed by Rachana be Rs x.

Then, we have:CI = P(1 + R/100)− P

1,290 = x[(1 + 15/100)² − 1]

1,290 = x[0.3225]

x = 1,290/0.3225  

= 4,000

Thus, Rachana borrowed Rs 4,000.

Question 7:

The interest on a sum of Rs 2000 is being compounded annually at the rate of 4% per annum. Find the period for which the compound interest is Rs 163.20.

ANSWER:

Let the time period be n years.

Then, we have:CI = P(1 + R/100)− P

163.20 = 2,000(1 + 4/100)n − 2,000

2,163.20 = 2,000(1.04)n

(1.04)n = 2,163.20/2,000

(1.04)n = 1.0816

(1.04)n = (1.04)²

On comparing both the sides, we get:n = 2

Thus, the required time is two years.

Question 8:

In how much time would Rs 5000 amount to Rs 6655 at 10% per annum compound interest?

ANSWER:

Let the time period be n years.

Thus, we have:CI = P(1 + R/100)n − P

6,655 = 5,000(1 + 10/100)n − 5,000

11,655 = 5,000(1.10)n

(1.1)n = 11,655/5,000

(1.1)n = 2.331(1.1) = (1.1)³

On comparing both the sides, we get:n = 3

Thus, the required time is three years.

Question 9:

In what time will Rs 4400 become Rs 4576 at 8% per annum interest compounded half-yearly?

ANSWER:

Let the time period be n years.

R = 8% = 4% (Half − yearly)

Thus, we have:A = P(1 + R/100)n

4,576 = 4,400(1 + 4/100)n

4,576 = 4,400(1.04)n

(1.04)n = 4,576/4,000

(1.04)n = 1.04

(1.04)n = 1.041

On comparing both the sides, we get: n = 1

Thus, the required time is half a year.

Chapter 14 - Compound Interest (Part - 3), Class 8, Maths RD Sharma Solutions | RD Sharma Solutions for Class 8 Mathematics

P[(1.042 − 1)] − 0.08P = 20

0.0816 P − 0.08 P = 20

0.0016 P = 20

P = 20/0.0016  

= 12,500

Thus, the required sum is Rs 12,500. 

PAGE NO 14.20:

ANSWER:

Let the time be n years.Then,A = P(1 + 10/100)n

1,331 = 1,000(1 + 10/100)n

(1.1)n = 1,331/1,000

(1.1)n = 1.331

(1.1) = (1.1)³

On comparing both the sides, we get:n = 3

Thus, the required time is three years.

Question 12:

At what rate percent compound interest per annum will Rs 640 amount to Rs 774.40 in 2 years?

ANSWER:

Let the rate of interest be R%.

Then,A = P(1 + R/100)n

774.40 = 640(1 + R/100)²

(1 + R/100)² = 774.40/640

(1 + R/100)² = 1.21

(1 + R/100)² = (1.1)²

(1 + R/100) = 1.1

R/100 = 0.1

R = 10

Thus, the required rate of interest is 10% per annum.

PAGE NO 14.20:

Question 13:

Find the rate percent per annum if Rs 2000 amount to Rs 2662 in 1.5 years, interest being compounded half-yearly?

ANSWER:

Let the rate of interest be R%.

Then,A = P(1 + R/100)n

2,662 = 2,000(1 + R/100)³

(1 + R/100)³ = 2,662/2,000

(1 + R/100)³ = 1.331

(1 + R/100)³ = (1.1)³

(1 + R/100) = 1.1

R/100 = 0.1

R = 10

Because the interest rate is being compounded half − yearly, it is 20% per annum.

Question 14:

Kamala borrowed from Ratan a certain sum at a certain rate for two years simple interest. She lent this sum at the same rate to Hari for two years compound interest. At the end of two years she received Rs 210 as compound interest, but paid Rs 200 only as simple interest. Find the sum and the rate of interest.

ANSWER:

Let the sum be Rs P and the rate of interest be R%.

We know that Kamla paid Rs 200 as simple interest.

∴ 200  =  PR(2)/100

PR = 10,000    ...(1)

Also, Kamla received Rs 210 as compound interest.

∴ 210 = P(1 + R/100)² − 1 

210(10,000)  =  P(R2 + 200R) 

210R  =   R2 + 200R         [from (1)]

R = 10% p.a.

Putting the equation in (1), 

we get:P  =  1,000

Thus, the required sum is Rs 1,000 and the rate of interest is 10%

PAGE NO 14.20:

Question 15:

Find the rate percent per annum, if Rs 2000 amount to Rs 2315.25 in an year and a half, interest being compounded six monthly.

ANSWER:

Let the rate percent per annum be R.

Because interest is compounded every six months, n will be 3 for 1.5 years.

Now,A = P(1 + R200)n

2,315.25 = 2,000(1 + R/200)³

(1 + R/200)³ = 2,315.25/2,000

(1 + R/200)³ = 1.157625

(1 + R/200)³ = (1.05)³

1 + R/200 = 1.05

R/200 = 0.05

= 10

Thus, the required rate is 10% per annum.

Question 16:

Find the rate at which a sum of money will double itself in 3 years, if the interest is compounded annually.

ANSWER:

Let the rate percent per annum be R.

Then,A = P(1 + R/100)n2

P = P(1 + R/100)³

(1 + R/100)³ = 2

(1 + R/100) = 1.2599

R/100 = 0.2599

R = 25.99

Thus, the required rate is 25.99% per annum.

PAGE NO 14.21:

Question 17:

Find the rate at which a sum of money will become four times the original amount in 2 years, if the interest is compounded half-yearly.

ANSWER:

Let the rate percent per annum be R.

Then,A = P(1 + R)²n

4P = P(1 + R/200)4

(1 + R/200)4 = 4

(1 + R/200) = 1.4142

R/200 = 0.4142

R = 82.84

Thus, the required rate is 82.84%.

FAQs on Chapter 14 - Compound Interest (Part - 3), Class 8, Maths RD Sharma Solutions - RD Sharma Solutions for Class 8 Mathematics

1. What is compound interest and how is it calculated?
Ans. Compound interest is the interest calculated on both the initial principal amount and the accumulated interest from previous periods. It is 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 number of years.
2. What is the difference between simple interest and compound interest?
Ans. Simple interest is calculated only on the principal amount, whereas compound interest is calculated on both the principal amount and the accumulated interest from previous periods. As a result, compound interest tends to be higher than simple interest for the same amount and rate.
3. How can I calculate the compound interest using the formula?
Ans. To calculate compound interest using the formula A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt), you need to know the principal amount (P), the annual interest rate (r), the number of times interest is compounded per year (n), and the number of years (t). Substitute these values into the formula and solve for A to find the final amount.
4. Can you provide an example of compound interest calculation?
Ans. Sure, let's consider an example. Suppose you invest $5000 at an annual interest rate of 5% compounded annually for 3 years. Using the formula A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt), the calculation would be A = 5000(1 + 0.05/1)^(1*3) = $5788.15. Therefore, the final amount after 3 years would be approximately $5788.15.
5. Is there a simpler way to calculate compound interest without using the formula?
Ans. Yes, there is a simpler way to calculate compound interest without using the formula. You can use the formula A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt) to calculate the compound interest for one year, and then use the formula A - P to find the interest earned in that year. Repeat this process for the desired number of years to find the total compound interest. This method is known as the "shortcut method" and can be helpful for quick calculations.
