  1. Given that :-

    • Compound interest on a sum of money in 1st is Rs.200.
    • Compound interest on a sum of money for second year is Rs.232.

    To Find :-

    Rate of compound interest and sum invested.

    Solution :-

    Let assume that,

    ☆ Sum invested be Rs P

    ☆ Rate of interest be R % per annum compounded annually .

    We know that,

    ☆ Compound interest on a certain sum of money Rs P invested at the rate of R % per annum compounded annually for n years is given by

    [tex]\tt{\longmapsto CI=P\bigg(1+\dfrac{R}{100}\bigg)^{n}-P}[/tex]

    According to statement,

    Case :- 1

    • Sum invested = Rs P
    • Rate of interest = R % per annum
    • Time, n = 1 year
    • Compound interest, CI = Rs 200

    On substituting all these values in above formula, we get

    [tex]\tt{\implies 200=P\bigg(1+\dfrac{R}{100}\bigg)^{1}-P}[/tex]

    [tex]\rm :\longmapsto\:200 = \cancel{P} + \dfrac{PR}{100} – \cancel P [/tex]

    [tex]\bf\implies \:PR = 20000 – – – (1)[/tex]

    Case :- 2

    • Sum invested = Rs P
    • Rate of interest = R % per annum
    • Time, n = 2 years
    • Compound interest in 2 years = 232 + 200 = 432

    So,

    On substituting all these values in above formula, we get

    [tex]\tt{\longmapsto 432=P\bigg(1+\dfrac{R}{100}\bigg)^{2}-P}[/tex]

    [tex]\rm :\longmapsto\:432 = P\bigg(1 + \dfrac{ {R}^{2} }{10000} + \dfrac{2R}{100} \bigg) – P[/tex]

    [tex]\rm :\longmapsto\:432 = \cancel P + \dfrac{P {R}^{2} }{10000} + \dfrac{PR}{50} – \cancel P[/tex]

    [tex]\rm :\longmapsto\:432 = \dfrac{PR \times R}{10000} + \dfrac{20000}{50} [/tex]

    [tex] \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \red{\bigg \{ \because \: PR = 20000\bigg \}}[/tex]

    [tex]\rm :\longmapsto\:432 = \dfrac{20000R}{10000} + 400 [/tex]

    [tex]\rm :\longmapsto\:432 – 400 = 2R[/tex]

    [tex]\rm :\longmapsto\:2R = 32[/tex]

    [tex]\bf\implies \:R = 16\% \: per \: annum[/tex]

    On substituting the value of R = 16 in equation (1), we get

    [tex]\rm :\longmapsto\:P \times 16 = 20000[/tex]

    [tex]\bf\implies \:P = 1250[/tex]

    Hence,

    Sum invested = Rs 1250

    Rate of interest = 16 % per annum compounded annually.

    Additional Information :-

    Amount on a certain sum of money Rs P invested at the rate of r % per annum compounded annually for n years is

    [tex]\tt{\implies A=P\bigg(1+\dfrac{r}{100}\bigg)^{n}}[/tex]

    Amount on a certain sum of money Rs P invested at the rate of r % per annum compounded semi- annually for n years is

    [tex]\tt{\implies A=P\bigg(1+\dfrac{r}{200}\bigg)^{2n}}[/tex]

    Amount on a certain sum of money Rs P invested at the rate of r % per annum compounded quarterly for n years is

    [tex]\tt{\implies A=P\bigg(1+\dfrac{r}{400}\bigg)^{4n}}[/tex]
