A bank offers 5% C.I. calculated on half-yearly basis . A customer deposits Rs. 1600 each on 1st January and 1st July of a year. At the end of the year, the amount he would have gained by way of interest is?

Answer: B

Amount = [1600 * (1 + 5/(2 * 100)⊃2; + 1600 * (1 + 5/(2 * 100)]

= [1600 * 41/40(41/40 + 1) 

= [(1600 * 41 * 81)/(40 * 40)] = Rs. 3321.

C.I. = 3321 - 3200 = Rs. 121.

A sum of Rs.4800 is invested at a compound interest for three years, the rate of interest being 10% p.a., 20% p.a. and 25% p.a. for the 1st, 2nd and the 3rd years respectively. Find the interest received at the end of the three years.

Answer: B

Let A be the amount received at the end of the three years. 

A = 4800[1 + 10/100][1 + 20/100][1 + 25/100] 

A = (4800 * 11 * 6 * 5)/(10 * 5 * 4) 

A = Rs.7920 

So the interest = 7920 - 4800 = Rs.3120
