Find the amount of compound interest for Rs 7500 for 1 year at 8% per annum compounded half-yearly.
Answer
Hint: In this question it is given that we have to find the amount of compound interest for Rs 7500 for 1 year at 8% per annum compounded half-yearly. So to solve this kind of problem we need know that,
Amount= $$A=P\left( 1+\dfrac{R}{100} \right)^{nt} $$......(1)
Where,
A=Final amount
P=Principle amount
R=Rate of interest
n=Number of times interest applied per time period
t=Number of time periods elapsed
Complete step-by-step solution:
Given
data,
P=7500, R=8, n= 2 half-yearly= 2 times, t= 1 year=1
Therefore, Final amount,
$$A=P\left( 1+\dfrac{R}{100} \right)^{nt} $$
=$$7500\left( 1+\dfrac{8}{100} \right)^{2\times 1} $$
=$$7500\left( 1+\dfrac{2}{25} \right)^{2} $$
=$$7500\left( \dfrac{25+2}{25} \right)^{2} $$
=$$7500\left( \dfrac{27}{25} \right)^{2} $$
=$$7500\times \dfrac{27}{25} \times \dfrac{27}{25}$$
=$$12\times 27\times
27$$
= 8784.
Therefore, the amount is Rs 8784.
And the compound interest = (A - P) = Rs(8784 - 7500) = Rs 1248
Note: While solving this type of problems, always remember that the value of n is the total number of times where each time the amount is compounded and the term might be a whole year, half-year or a quarter-year etc.
Question Detail
- Rs. 610
- Rs. 612
- Rs. 614
- Rs. 616
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
\begin{aligned}
Amount = [7500 \times (1+ \frac{4}{100})^2] \\
= (7500 \times \frac{26}{25} \times \frac{26}{25}) \\
= 8112 \\
\end{aligned}
So compound interest = (8112 - 7500) = 612

- Rs. 8510
- Rs. 8620
- Rs. 8730
- Rs. 8820
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
\begin{aligned}
=> (8000 \times(1+\frac{5}{100})^2) \\
=> 8000 \times \frac{21}{20}\times \frac{21}{20} \\
=> 8820

2. Effective annual rate of interest corresponding to nominal rate of 6% per annum compounded half yearly will be
- 6.09%
- 6.10%
- 6.12%
- 6.14%
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Let the amount Rs 100 for 1 year when compounded half yearly, n = 2, Rate = 6/2 = 3%
\begin{aligned}
Amount = 100(1+\frac{3}{100})^2 = 106.09
\end{aligned}
Effective rate = (106.09 - 100)% = 6.09%

4. The difference between simple and compound interests compounded annually on a certain sum of money for 2 years at 4% per annum is Rs 1. Find the sum
- Rs 600
- Rs 625
- Rs 650
- Rs 675
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Let the Sum be P
\begin{aligned}
S.I. = \frac{P*4*2}{100} = \frac{2P}{25}\\
C.I. = P(1+\frac{4}{100})^2 - P \\
= \frac{676P}{625} - P \\
= \frac{51P}{625} \\
\text{As, C.I. - S.I = 1}\\
=> \frac{51P}{625} - \frac{2P}{25} = 1 \\
=> \frac{51P - 50P}{625} = 1 \\
P = 625
\end{aligned}
5. At what rate of compound interest per annum will a sum of Rs. 1200 become Rs. 1348.32 in 2 years
- 3%
- 4%
- 5%
- 6%
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Let Rate will be R%
\begin{aligned}
1200(1+\frac{R}{100})^2 = \frac{134832}{100} \\
(1+\frac{R}{100})^2 = \frac{134832}{120000} \\
(1+\frac{R}{100})^2 = \frac{11236}{10000} \\
(1+\frac{R}{100}) = \frac{106}{100} \\
=> R = 6\%
\end{aligned}
