  2. $1,243.83$

  3. $1,643.83$

  4. $1,603.83$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Using the formula,
Saving account interest $=$ Principal or amount in the account $\times$ Number of days $\times$ Daily Interest Rate
At $3\%$ daily interest rate $=$ $\dfrac{3%}{365}$
$=$ $\dfrac{10,000,000\times20\times3}{100\times365}$
$= 1,643.83$

Mark invests Rs. $6500$ in a savings account his annual interest rate is $7\%$ compounded annually. What is the approximate balance of his savings account after $2\dfrac{1}{2}$?

  1. $6500$

  2. $5500$

  3. $7700$

  4. $8200$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

We know the formula,
$A = P\left (1+\dfrac{r}{n}\right)^{n.t}$
Where,
$A =$ total amount
$P =$ principal or amount of money deposited,
$r =$ annual interest rate
$n =$ number of times compounded per year
$t =$ time in years
Given: $P =$ Rs. $6500, r = 7\%, n = 1$ and $t =$ $2\dfrac{1}{2}$ years
$\Rightarrow A = 6500\left (1+\dfrac{0.07}{1}\right)^{1\times 2.5}$
$\Rightarrow A = 6500\times 1.07^{2.5}$
$\Rightarrow A = 6500\times 1.184294$
$\Rightarrow A =$ Rs. $7697.91$ $\text{approx}$ $7700$

How much interest will you earn if your saving bank account has Rs. $30,000,000$ for $30$ days at $12\%$ per annum is deposited.

  2. $295,890.411$

  3. $395,890.411$

  4. $495,890.411$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Using the formula,
Saving account interest $=$ Principal or amount in the account $\times$ Number of days $\times$ Daily Interest Rate
At $12\% $ daily interest rate $=$ $\dfrac{12%}{365}$
$=$ $\dfrac{30,000,000\times30\times12}{100\times365}$
$= 295,890.411$

If you have a bank account whose principal is Rs. $5000$, and your bank compounds the interest twice a year at an interest rate of $12\%,$ how much money do you have in your account at the year's end?

  1. $4272$

  2. $5272$

  3. $6272$

  4. $7272$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Given: $P = 5000, r = 12\%, n = 2$ years
We know the formula $A = P\left [\left (1+\dfrac{r}{100}\right)^n\right]$
Substituting the given values int he formula, we get

$A = 5000\left [\left (1+\dfrac{12}{100}\right)^2\right]$
$A =$ Rs. $6272$

Mari deposited Rs. $20000$ in a savings bank account. She would be paid interest at $12\%$ per annum compounded annually. Find the interest to her credit at the end of second year.

  1. $1088$

  2. $3088$

  3. $5088$

  4. $7088$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Given, $P = $ Rs. $20000$, $r = 12\%$, $n = 1$, $t = 2$ years
$A =$ $P\left (1+\dfrac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}$
$A =$ $20000\times (1+0.12)^{1\times 2}$
$A = 20000 \times  1.2544$
$A = Rs. 25088$
Amount $=$ Principal $+$ Interest
Interest $= A - P$
$= 25088 - 20000$
$=$ Rs. $5088$

What will a deposit of Rs. $4,500$ at $10\%$ in a savings account compounded yearly interest be worth if left in the bank for $9$ years?

  1. $2110.77$

  2. $4110.77$

  3. $6110.77$

  4. $8110.77$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Given, $P =$ Rs. $4500$, $r = 10\%$, $n = 1$, $t = 9$ years
$A =$ $P(1+0.1)^{1.9}$
$A = 4500 \times 2.357948$
$A =$ Rs. $10610.77$
Amount $=$ Principal $+$ Interest
Interest $= A - P$
$= 10610.77 - 4500$
$=$ Rs. $6110.77$
