Question

1. A person invests Rs 14,000 for two years at a certain rate of interest compounded annually. At
the end of one year, this sum amounts to Rs 14,700. Calculate
(i) the rate of interest per annum.
(ii) the amount at the end of second year.​

Answer 1

Answer:

It is given that

Principal(P) = 10,000

Period (T)= 1 year

Sum amount (A)= 11200

Rate of interest =?

(i) We know that

Interest (I)= 11200- 10000= 1200

So the rate of interest

R= (1×100)/(P×T)

Substituting the values

R= (1200×100)/(1000×1)

So we get

R= 12% p.a

Therefore, the rate of interest per annum is 12% p.a

(ii) We know that

Period (T)= 2 years

Rate of interest (R) = 12% p.a.

Here

A =P(1+R/100)

1

Substituting the values

A = 10000(1+12/100)

2

By further calculation

A= 10000(28/25)

2

We can write it as

A= 10000×28/25×28/25

So we get

A=16×28×28

A=12544

Therefore, the amount at the end of the second year is 12544.
