Sample Questions

1multiple correct

Which of the following statements are correct about compound interest?

Show answer

CI for first year equals SI for first year, CI increases each year on same principal, CI is always greater than SI after first year

In CI, first year interest equals SI. Each year's interest is calculated on growing amount, so CI increases yearly and exceeds SI after year 1.

2multiple choice

If compound interest on ₹10,000 for 2 years is ₹2,100, what is the rate per annum?

Show answer

10%

Let rate = r%. Year 1: CI = 10000r/100. Year 2: CI = (10000+10000r/100)×r/100. Total CI = 10000r/100 + (10000r + 100r²)/10000 = 2100. Solving: r = 10%

3multiple correct

Which calculations are needed to find compound interest for 3 years?

Show answer

Interest for year 1 on original principal, Interest for year 2 on year 1 amount, Interest for year 3 on year 2 amount, Sum of all yearly interests

CI calculation requires computing interest each year on the growing principal (amount from previous year), then summing all yearly interests.

4multiple choice

₹15,000 invested at different rates: 12% for year 1, 15% for year 2. What is the amount after 2 years?

Show answer

₹19,320

Year 1: Interest = (15000×12)/100 = ₹1,800, Amount = ₹16,800. Year 2: Interest = (16800×15)/100 = ₹2,520, Amount = 16800 + 2520 = ₹19,320
