Mr. Lalit invested Rs. 5000 at a certain rate of interest, compounded annually for two years. At the end of first year it amounts to Rs. 5325. Calculate
(i) The rate of interest
(ii) The amount at the end of second year, to the nearest rupee.
( i ) P = Rs. 5000, T = 1 year, A = Rs. 5325
I = A - P
So, the interest at the end of first year is Rs. 325
So, the rate of interest at the end of the first year is 6.5 %.
( ii ) The amount at the end of the first year will be the principal for the second year.
P = Rs. 5325, T = 1 year, R = 6.5 %
So, the amount at the end of the second year is Rs. 5671.

She closed the account on 30th September, 2006. Calculate the interest Mrs. Ravi
earned at the end of 30th September, 2006 at 4.5% per annum interest. Hence, find the
amount she receives on closing the account.
Since the interest is earned on the minimum balance between 10th day and the last day of the month as per entries, we have
Minimum balance for April = Rs. 8300
Minimum balance for May = Rs. 7600
Minimum balance for June = Rs. 10300
Minimum balance for July = Rs. 10300
Minimum balance for August = Rs. 3900
Minimum balance for September = Rs. 0
Total balance = Rs. 40400
Total amount qualifying for interest = Rs. 40400
Rate of interest = 4.5 % per annum
Amount = Balance in the account in last month + Interest
= 5900 + 151.50
= Rs. 6051.50
Thus, Mrs. Ravi receives Rs. 6051.50 on closing the account.
In what time will Rs. 1500 yield Rs. 496.50 as compound nterest at 10% per annum compounded annually?
Given P = Rs. 1500, I = 496.50, R = 10 %
A = P + I
A = Rs. 1500 + Rs. 496.50 = Rs. 1996.50
Mohan has a recurring deposit account in a bank for 2 years at 6% p.a. simple interest. If he gets Rs. 1200 as interest at the time of maturity, find:
(i) the monthly installment
(ii) the amount of maturity
(i) I = Rs. 1200, n = 2 x 12 = 24 months, r = 6%
So the monthly instalment is Rs. 800.
( ii ) Total sum deposited = P x n = Rs. 800 x 24 = Rs. 19200
Amount of maturity = Total sum deposited + Interest on it
= Rs. 19200 + Rs. 1200
= Rs. 20400
