In how many years will ₹8,000 amount to ₹9,261 at 5% per annum compound interest?
Answers
Answer:
Solution: Rate of interest = 10% per annum = 5% per half –year. Time = 3/2 years = 3 half-years
Original principal = Rs 8000.
Interest\quad for\quad the\quad first\quad half\quad year = \frac { 8000\times 5\times 1 }{ 100 } =420
Interestforthefirsthalfyear=
100
8000×5×1
=420
. Amount at the end of the first half-year= Rs 8000 +Rs 400 =Rs8400
Principal for the second half-year =Rs 8400
Interest\quad for\quad the\quad second\quad half-year=\frac { 8400\times 5\times 1 }{ 100 } =420
Interestforthesecondhalf−year=
100
8400×5×1
=420
Amount at the end of the second half year = Rs 8400 +Rs 420 = Rs 8820
Interest \; for\; the\; third\; half \; year=\frac { 8820\times 5\times 1 }{ 100 } =Rs441
Interestforthethirdhalfyear=
100
8820×5×1
=Rs441
Amount at the end of third half year= Rs 8820+ Rs 441= Rs 9261. Therefore, compound interest= Rs 9261- Rs 8000= Rs 1261. Therefore,
compound\quad interest=Rs9261-Rs8000=Rs1261
compoundinterest=Rs9261−Rs8000= 260
