Q1. A person deposits ₹300 per month in an RD account for 12 months at 10% p.a. Find the total sum deposited.
Solution — stepwise
Monthly deposit P = ₹300, number of months n = 12.
Total sum deposited = P × n = 300 × 12 = ₹3,600.
Q2. Find the interest earned on ₹100 deposited every month for 12 months at 12% p.a.
Solution — stepwise
P = ₹100, n = 12, r = 12%.
Compute factor n(n+1) / (2 × 12) = 12 × 13 / 24 = 156 / 24 = 6.5.
Interest I = P × factor × (r / 100) = 100 × 6.5 × 12/100 = 100 × 6.5 × 0.12 = 100 × 0.78 = ₹78.
Q3. A person deposits ₹200 per month for 6 months in an RD account at 6% p.a. Find maturity value.
Solution — stepwise
P = ₹200, n = 6, r = 6%.
Total deposited = 200 × 6 = ₹1,200.
Factor = n(n+1) / (2 × 12) = 6 × 7 / 24 = 42 / 24 = 1.75.
Interest I = 200 × 1.75 × 6/100 = 200 × 1.75 × 0.06 = 200 × 0.105 = ₹21.
Maturity value = total deposited + I = 1,200 + 21 = ₹1,221.
Q4. If a person deposits ₹500 monthly for 24 months, what is the total amount deposited?
Solution — stepwise
P = ₹500, n = 24.
Total deposited = 500 × 24 = ₹12,000.
Q5. Find maturity value when P = ₹50, n = 12 months, r = 12% p.a.
Solution — stepwise
Total deposited = 50 × 12 = ₹600.
Factor = 12 × 13 / 24 = 6.5.
Interest I = 50 × 6.5 × 12/100 = 50 × 6.5 × 0.12 = 50 × 0.78 = ₹39.
Maturity value = 600 + 39 = ₹639.
Q6. Find the maturity value of an RD account in which ₹250 is deposited monthly for 36 months at 8% p.a.
Solution — stepwise
P = ₹250, n = 36, r = 8%.
Total deposited = 250 × 36 = ₹9,000.
Factor = n(n+1)/(2 × 12) = 36 × 37 / 24 = 1332 / 24 = 55.5.
Interest I = 250 × 55.5 × 8/100 = 250 × 55.5 × 0.08 = 250 × 4.44 = ₹1,110.
Maturity value = 9,000 + 1,110 = ₹10,110.
Q7. A student deposits ₹150 per month for 2 years in an RD account at 10% p.a. Find interest and maturity value.
Solution — stepwise
P = ₹150, n = 24, r = 10%.
Total deposited = 150 × 24 = ₹3,600.
Factor = 24 × 25 / 24 = 25.
Interest I = 150 × 25 × 10/100 = 150 × 25 × 0.10 = 150 × 2.5 = ₹375.
Maturity value = 3,600 + 375 = ₹3,975.
Q8. A man deposited ₹500 per month in an RD account for 3 years at 9% p.a. Find the maturity value.
Solution — stepwise
P = ₹500, n = 36 (3 years), r = 9%.
Total deposited = 500 × 36 = ₹18,000.
Factor = 36 × 37 / 24 = 1332 / 24 = 55.5.
Interest I = 500 × 55.5 × 9/100 = 500 × 55.5 × 0.09 = 500 × 4.995 = ₹2,497.50.
Maturity value = 18,000 + 2,497.50 = ₹20,497.50.
Q9. Sita deposited ₹200 per month for 30 months in an RD account at 12% p.a. Find interest earned.
Solution — stepwise
P = ₹200, n = 30, r = 12%.
Total deposited = 200 × 30 = ₹6,000 (for reference).
Factor = 30 × 31 / 24 = 930 / 24 = 38.75.
Interest I = 200 × 38.75 × 12/100 = 200 × 38.75 × 0.12 = 200 × 4.65 = ₹930.
Q10. The maturity value of an RD account is ₹8,421 when ₹200 is deposited every month for 36 months. Find the interest earned.
Solution — stepwise
P = ₹200, n = 36. Total deposited = 200 × 36 = ₹7,200.
Given Maturity value = ₹8,421.
Interest = M.V. − Total deposited = 8,421 − 7,200 = ₹1,221.
Q11. Ramesh deposits ₹400 every month for 5 years in an RD account at 9% p.a. Find maturity value.
Solution — stepwise
P = ₹400, time = 5 years ⇒ n = 5 × 12 = 60 months, r = 9%.
Total deposited = 400 × 60 = ₹24,000.
Factor = n(n+1)/(2 × 12) = 60 × 61 / 24 = 3660 / 24 = 152.5.
Interest I = 400 × 152.5 × 9/100 = 400 × 152.5 × 0.09 = 400 × 13.725 = ₹5,490.
Maturity value = 24,000 + 5,490 = ₹29,490.
Q12. A man deposited ₹1,000 per month for 3 years in an RD account and received ₹40,410 at maturity. Find the interest earned and the rate of interest (to two decimal places).
Solution — stepwise
P = ₹1,000, n = 3 years = 36 months. Total deposited = 1,000 × 36 = ₹36,000.
Given M.V. = ₹40,410 ⇒ Interest I = 40,410 − 36,000 = ₹4,410.
Factor for n = 36 is 36 × 37 / 24 = 1332 / 24 = 55.5.
Use I = P × factor × (r / 100). So 4,410 = 1,000 × 55.5 × r / 100 = 55,500 × r / 100 = 555 × r.
Therefore r = 4,410 / 555 = 7.945945...% ≈ 7.95% per annum (rounded to two decimals).
Q13. The maturity value of an RD account is ₹24,930 when ₹600 is deposited monthly at 10% p.a. Find the time period (in months and years).
Solution — stepwise
Let time = n months. P = ₹600, r = 10%. Total deposited = 600n.
Interest formula simplifies here: I = 600 × [n(n+1) / 24] × 10/100 = 600 × [n(n+1) / 24] × 0.10 = 60 × [n(n+1) / 24] = (60/24) × n(n+1) = 2.5 × n(n+1).
M.V. = total deposited + I = 600n + 2.5 n(n+1). Given M.V. = 24,930.
Equation: 600n + 2.5 n(n+1) = 24,930. Multiply both sides by 2 to remove decimal: 1200n + 5 n(n+1) = 49,860.
That is 5n^2 + 5n + 1200n − 49,860 = 0 ⇒ 5n^2 + 1205n − 49,860 = 0.
Divide by 5: n^2 + 241n − 9,972 = 0. Solve quadratic:
Discriminant D = 241^2 + 4 × 9,972 = 58,081 + 39,888 = 97,969 = 313^2.
So n = [−241 ± 313] / 2. Positive root: n = (−241 + 313)/2 = 72/2 = 36 months.
Therefore time = 36 months = 3 years.
