Q1. On a sum SI is
1/16
time of sum, and number of years are 4 times to rate of interest . find time.

Solution.
SI =
pnr/100
x/16
=
x . 4r . r/100


r2 =
100/64
⇒ r =
10/8
%

t = 4r = 4 x
10/8
= 5 years
Solution

Q2. On a principal SI is
9/49
times of principal rate of SI is equal to time (in years) find rate of SI .

Solution
Let p = x , rate = time

9x/49
=
x . r . r/100


9/49
=
r2/100
⇒ r2 =
900/49
=

r =
30/7
= 4.29 %
Solution

Q3. A sum of money becomes triple in 20 years . find the rate of SI .

Solution.
SI =
pxr/100
⇒ 2p =
p . 20 . r/100
⇒ r = 10 %
Solution

Q4. Rs. 3500 is distributed in two part and both part gains same interest for two years. Rate of interest are 8% and 6% respectively . find the ratio of value(distributed) .

Solution.
Value will be distributed in the ratio of

1/r1t1
:
1/r2t2


1/8 x 2
:
1/6 x 2
1/16
:
1/12
⇒ 3 : 4
Solution

Q5. Which investment is better , 5% per annum compounded quarterly or 5.12% per annum .

Solution.
effective = (1 +
0.05/4
)4 - 1 = (1.0125)4 - 1

= 1.05095 - 1 = 0.05095

effective = 5.095 % per annum.

so, 5.12 % is better investment .
Solution

Q6. The compound interest , compounded annually is called ___________ .

Solution.
Nominal interest rate .
Solution

Q7. Effective rate of interest is always greater than the nominal rate of interest.(True/False)

Solution.
True
Solution

Q8. The effective rate equivalent to nominal rate of 9% compounded monthly .

Solution.
re = (1 +
r/m
)m - 1
re = (1 +
0.09/12
)12 - 1

re = (1.0075)12 - 1 = 1.09380 - 1

re = 0.09380 = 9.38 %
Solution

Q9. The population of a town at the beginning of the year 2001 was 1,75,000 . If the rate of increase be 52 per thousand of the population . find the populaton at the beginning of the year 2006 .

Solution.
A = p(1 +
r/100
)n

A = 1,75,000 (1 +
5.2/100
)5 = 1,75,000(1.052)5

A = 1,75,000 (1.2884830) = 2,25,485
Solution

Q10. Amount of 3rd year (in the case of compound interest) will be the principal of 4rth years. (True/False)

Solution.
True
Solution
