What is the CI on Rs 40000 at 10% pa for 1 year when the interest is payable quarterly?
Alternate MethodRate of interest half yearly = 5/2 = 2.5%

Equivalent rate of interest for one year = 2.5 + 2.5 + (2.5 × 2.5)/100

⇒ 5.0625%

Compound interest = 4000 × 5.0625/100 = Rs. 202.5

Rate of interest quarterly = 40/4 = 10%

Equivalent rate of interest = [(11/10 × 11/10 × 11/10 × 11/10) - 1] = 46.41%

Compound interest = 2000 × 46.41/100 = Rs. 928.2

Total interest = 202.5 + 928.2 = Rs. 1130.70

Traditional method:

Given

Case-1

Principal = Rs. 4000

Rate = 5%

Time = 1 year

Interest compounded half yearly.

Case-2

Principal = Rs. 2000

Rate = 40%

Time = 1 year

Interest compounded quaterly.

Formula:

A = P (1 + r/100)t

Calculation:

For case-1

r = 5/2% = 2.5%

Time = 2

According to the formula

A = 4000 × (102.5/100) × (102.5/100) 

⇒ A = 4,202.5

CI = 4,202,5 - 4,000 = 202.5 

For case-2

r = 40/4 = 10%

Time = 4

According to the formula

A = 2000 × (110/100) × (110/100) × (110/100) × (110/100) 

⇒ A = 2,928.2

CI = 2,928.2 - 2,000 = Rs. 928.2

Total interest = 202.5 + 928.2 = Rs. 1,130.70

∴ The total interest is Rs. 1,130.70.

20 Questions 20 Marks 18 Mins

GIVEN:

Principal = Rs. 40000

Compound Interest = Rs. 6305

Time = 9 months

FORMULA USED:

CI = P [ (1 + R/100)ᵀ – 1]

CALCULATION:

Let the rate of C.I be R per cent per annum.

∴ CI = P [ (1 + R/100)ᵀ – 1]

⇒ 6305 = 40000 [ (1 + R/400)3 – 1 ]               [T = 9 × 4 = 36 months = 3 years because interest is calculated quarterly]

⇒ 6305/40000 = (1 + R/400)3 – 1

⇒ (1 + R/400)3 – 1 = 1,261/8,000

⇒ (1 + R/400)3 = 1 + 1,261/8,000

⇒ (1 + R/400)3 = 9,261/8,000

⇒ (1 + R/400)3 = (21/20)3

⇒ 1 + R/400 = 21/20

⇒ R/400 = 21/20 – 1 = 1/20

∴ rate = R = 400/20 = 20%
