Question 3 Compound Interest Exercise 2.1

A man invests ₹ 8000 for three years at the rate of 10% per annum compound interest. Find the interest

for the second year. Also, find the sum due at the end of the third year.

Answer:

It is given that

Principal = ₹ 8000

Rate of interest = 10% p.a.

We know that

Interest for the first year = Prt/100

Substituting the values

= (8000 × 10 × 1)/ 100

= ₹ 800

So the amount after the first year or principal for the second year = 8000 + 800 = ₹ 8800

(i) Interest for the second year = (8800 × 10 × 1)/ 100

= ₹ 880

So the amount after the second year or principal for the third year = 8800 + 880 = ₹ 9680

Interest for the third year = (9680 × 10 × 1)/ 100

= ₹ 968

(ii) Amount due at the end of the third year = 9680 + 968

= ₹ 10648
