Solution:-

Given P = ₹ 750

Time (T)

\(\begin{array}{l}=3 \frac{4}{12}=3 \frac{1}{3}=\frac{10}{3}\end{array} \)
= years

Rate (R)=10%

Interest (I)

\(\begin{array}{l}=\frac{P R T}{100}=\frac{750 \times 10 \times \frac{10}{3}}{100}\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}=\frac{250 \times 10 \times 10}{100}=250\end{array} \)

(ii) ₹ 5000 at 8% per year from 23rd December 2011 to 29th July 2012.

Solution:-

Principal (P) = ₹ 5000

Rate (R) = 8% p.a

Time (T) = 23 December 2011 to 29 July 2012

Dec. Jan. Feb. March April May June July

Total 219 days

\(\begin{array}{l}=\frac{219}{365}\end{array} \)
years

\(\begin{array}{l}=∴ \text { Interest }=\frac{P R T}{100}=\frac{5000 \times 8 \times 219}{100 \times 365}\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}=10 \times 8 \times 3=240\end{array} \)

∴Amount = P + I = ₹ 5000 + 240 = ₹ 5240

(iii) ₹ 2,600 in 2 years 3months at 1% per month.

Solution:-

Here p = ₹ 2600

Time (T) = 2 Years 3 month = 27 months

Rate (R) = 1 per month

\(\begin{array}{l}=∴ \text { Interest }=\frac{P \times T \times R}{100}=\frac{2600 \times 27 \times 1}{100}\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}=26 \times 27=\mathrm{Rs} .702\end{array} \)

Amount = (2600+702) = Rs.3302

Time (T) = 4 Years

S .I .

\(\begin{array}{l}=\frac{P \times T \times R}{100}\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}=\mathrm{Rs} . \frac{24,000 \times 4 \times 7.5}{100}\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}=\text { Rs. } 240 \times 4 \times 7.5\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}=240 \times 30=\mathrm{Rs} .7200\end{array} \)

Amount needed to clear the debt at the end of 4th year

= Rs.24000 + Rs.7200 = Rs.3,1200

Question 3.

The interest on a certain sum of money is Rs. 1,480 in 2 years and at 10 per cent per year. Find the sum of money.

Solution:-

Consider P = Rs. X

Time (T) = 2 Years

Rate (R) = 0%

\(\begin{array}{l}=∴ \text { Interest }=\frac{\mathrm{P} \times \mathrm{T} \times \mathrm{R}}{100}=\frac{x \times 10 \times 2}{100}=\frac{x}{5}\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}=\frac{x}{5}={Rs} .1480\end{array} \)
(Given)
\(\begin{array}{l}=∴ x=1480 \times 5={Rs} .7400 \end{array} \)

Therefore, the money Rs.7400

Question 4.

On what principal will the simple interest be Rs. 7,008 in 6 years 3 months at 5% per year?

Solution:-

Consider principal = Rs.P

Time (T) = 6 Years 3 month

\(\begin{array}{l}= 6 \mathrm{Year}+\frac{3}{12}\end{array} \)

Year

\(\begin{array}{l}=\frac{75}{12}=\frac{25}{4} \text { year }=6 \frac{1}{4} \end{array} \)
years

Rate(R)=5%

Simple interest =Rs.7,008

Here

Simple interest

\(\begin{array}{l}=\frac{\mathrm{P} \times \mathrm{T} \times \mathrm{R}}{100}\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}=7,008=\frac{\mathrm{P} \times \frac{25}{4} \times 5}{100} \Rightarrow \mathrm{P}=\frac{7008 \times 100 \times 4}{25 \times 5}\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}=\frac{7008 \times 16}{5}=\frac{112128}{5}={Rs} .22425 .60\end{array} \)

Question 5.

Find the principal which will amount to Rs. 4,000 in 4 years at 6.25% per annum.

Solution:-

Consider Principal = Rs P, Time (T) = 4 Years

Rate

\(\begin{array}{l}=6 \frac{1}{4}=\frac{25}{4} \% \end{array} \)

Simple Interest

\(\begin{array}{l}=\frac{\mathrm{P} \times \mathrm{T} \times \mathrm{R}}{100}=\frac{\mathrm{P} \times \frac{25}{4} \times 4}{100}=\frac{\mathrm{P}}{4}\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}=∴ \text { Amount }=P+\frac{P}{4}=\frac{5 P}{4} \end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}=\frac{5 \mathrm{P}}{4}=4000\end{array} \)

5P=4×4000

P=Rs.3200

Therefore, Principal = Rs.3200

Question 6.

(i) At what rate per cent per annum will Rs. 630 produce an interest of Rs. 126 in 4 years?

Solution:-

P=Rs.630, I=Rs.126,T=4

\(\begin{array}{l}=R=\frac{100 \times I}{P \times T}=\frac{100 \times 126}{630 \times 4}=\frac{100}{20}=5 \%\end{array} \)

(ii) At what rate per cent per year will a sum double itself in

\(\begin{array}{l}=6 \frac{1}{4}\end{array} \)
years?

Solution:-

Let P = Rs.100

Amount = 2 × Rs.100 = Rs.200

Interest = A-P

= Rs.200 – Rs.100 = Rs.100

\(\begin{array}{l}\mathrm{T}=6 \frac{1}{4} \text { years }=\frac{25}{4}\end{array} \)
years
\(\begin{array}{l}\mathrm{R}=\frac{100 \times I}{\mathrm{P} \times \mathrm{T}}=\frac{100 \times 100}{100 \times \frac{25}{4}} \%=\frac{100 \times 100}{100} \times \frac{4}{25}=16 \%\end{array} \)

Question 7.

(i) In how many years will Rs. 950 produce Rs. 399 as simple interest at 7%?

Solution:-

P = Rs.950

S.I = Rs.399

R = 7%

Here

\(\begin{array}{l}\mathrm{T}=\frac{100 \times I}{P \times R}=\frac{100 \times 399}{950 \times 7}\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{10 \times 21}{5 \times 7}=2 \times 3=6\end{array} \)
Years

(ii) Find the time in which Rs. 1200 will amount to Rs. 1536 at 3.5% per year.

Solution:-

A = Rs.1536

P = Rs.1200

I = A – P

= Rs.1536 – Rs.1200 = Rs.336

Here

\(\begin{array}{l}\mathrm{T}=\frac{100 \times I}{P \times R} (Formula) \end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}=\frac{100 \times 336}{1200 \times 3.5}=\frac{100 \times 336 \times 10}{1200 \times 35}\left[∵ \frac{1}{3.5}=\frac{10}{35}\right] \end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}=\frac{28 \times 10}{35}=8\end{array} \)

Question 8.

The simple interest on a certain sum of money is

\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{3}{8} \end{array} \)
of the sum in 6
\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{1}{4} \end{array} \)
years. Find the rate percent charged.

Solution:-

Consider P = RS.8

S.I = Rs.

\(\begin{array}{l}=\frac{3}{8} \times 8\end{array} \)

= Rs.3

\(\begin{array}{l}\mathrm{T}=6 \frac{1}{4} \text { years }=\frac{25}{4} \mathrm{Years}\end{array} \)

Here

\(\begin{array}{l}\mathrm{R}=\frac{100 \times \mathrm{I}}{\mathrm{P} \times \mathrm{T}}\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}=\frac{100 \times 3}{8 \times \frac{25}{4}}=\frac{100 \times 3}{8} \times \frac{4}{25}=2 \times 3 \end{array} \)
(Formula)

=6%

Question 9.

What sum of money borrowed on 24th May will amount to Rs.10210.20 on 17th October of the same year at 5 percent per annum simple interest?

Solution:-

A = Rs.10210.20

R = 5% P.A

T = May + June+ July + August + Sept +Oct

= 7 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 30 + 17

\(\begin{array}{l}=\frac{146}{365} \mathrm{days}=\frac{2}{5} \mathrm{Year}\end{array} \)

Here

P + I = A

(Formula for finding principal)

\(\begin{array}{l}=\Rightarrow \quad \mathrm{P}+\frac{\mathrm{P} \times \mathrm{R} \times \mathrm{T}}{100}=\mathrm{A}\end{array} \)

 

\(\begin{array}{l}=\Rightarrow \mathrm{P}\left(1+\frac{5 \times \frac{2}{5}}{100}\right)=\mathrm{Rs} .10210 \cdot 2\end{array} \)

 

\(\begin{array}{l}=\Rightarrow \mathrm{P}\left(1+\frac{\mathrm{R} \times \mathrm{T}}{100}\right)=\mathrm{A}\end{array} \)

 

\(\begin{array}{l}=\Rightarrow \mathrm{P}\left(1+\frac{2}{100}\right)=\mathrm{Rs} .10210 \cdot 20\end{array} \)

 

\(\begin{array}{l}=\Rightarrow \mathrm{P}\left(\frac{102}{100}\right)=\mathrm{Rs} .10210 \cdot 20\end{array} \)

 

\(\begin{array}{l}=\Rightarrow \mathrm{P}=\mathrm{Rs} .10210 \cdot 20 \times \frac{100}{102}\end{array} \)

 

\(\begin{array}{l}=\Rightarrow \quad \mathrm{P}=\mathrm{Rs}. \frac{1021020}{102}\end{array} \)

P=Rs.10010

Money to be borrowed = Rs.10010

Question 10.

In what time will the interest on a certain sum of money at 6% be 5/8 of itself?

Solution:-

Consider P = Rs.8

Interest

\(\begin{array}{l}=\mathrm{Rs} \cdot 8 \frac{5}{8}=\mathrm{Rs} .5\end{array} \)
(Converting the mixed fraction into normal one)

R = 6%

\(\begin{array}{l}=T=\frac{100 \times 1}{P \times R}\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}=\frac{100 \times 5}{8 \times 6}\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}=\frac{500}{48}=\frac{125}{12}\end{array} \)
Years

=10

\(\begin{array}{l}= \frac{5}{12}\end{array} \)
Years

= 10 Years 5 months

\(\begin{array}{l}=\left[∵ \frac{5}{12} \text { year }=\frac{5}{12} \times 12 \text { months }=5 \text { months }\right] \end{array} \)

Time =10 years 5 months
