Question 1.
How much compound interest is earned by investing Rs. 20000 for 6 years at 5% per annum compounded annually? (Page No. 114)
Answer:
P = Rs. 20,000; R = 5%; n = 6 years

∴ Compound Interest = Amount – Principal = 26802 – 20,000
∴ C.I. = Rs. 6802 /-

Question 2.
Find compound interest on Rs. 12600 for 2 years at 10% per annum compounded annually.    (Page No. 114)
Answer:
P = Rs. 12,600; R = 10%; n = 2 years

∴ Compound Interest = Amount – Principal = 15,246 – 12,600
∴ C.I. = Rs. 2646 /-

Question 3.
Find the number of conversion times the interest is compounded and rate for each.
i) A sum taken for 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) years at 8% per annum is compounded half yearly.
ii) A sum taken for 2 years at 4% per annum is compounded half yearly.     (Page No. 115)
Answer:
Compound interest will be calculated for every 6 months.
There will be 3 periods in 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) year.
∴ n = 3
∴ Rate of interest for half yearly = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 8% = 4%
∴ R = 4%; n = 3
ii) C.I. should be calculated for every 6 months.
There will be 4 time periods in 2 years.
∴ n = 4
∴ Rate of interest for half yearly = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 4% = 2%
∴ n = 4 ; R = 2%

Question 1.
Find the ratio of gear of your bicycle.       (Page No. 96)

Count the number of teeth on the chain wheel and the number of teeth for the sprocket wheel.
{number of teeth on the chain wheel} : {number of teeth of sprocket wheel}
This is called gear ratio. Write how many times sprocket wheel turns for every time the chain wheel rotates once.
Answer:

The RBI cut the repo rate (rate at which it lends to banks) by a quarter per cent on Friday to 7.25 per cent from 7.75 per cent, but this will not be passed on to the consumers by way of lower personal loans for housing etc., immediately according to bankers.

Answer:

Question 6.
i) Estimate 20% of Rs. 357.30 ii) Estimate 15% of Rs. 375.50      (Page No. 105)
Answer:

ii) 15% of 375.50 = \(\frac{15}{100}\) × 375.50 = 15 × 3.7550 = Rs. 56.325

Question 7.
Complete the table.     (Page No. 105)

Answer:

Think, discuss and write

Question 1.
Two times a number is 100% increase in the number. If we take half the number what would be the decrease in percent?    (Page No. 101)
Answer:
Increase percent of 2 times of a number = \(\frac{(2-1)}{1}\) × 100 = 1 × 100 = 100%
Half of the number = 1 – \(\frac{1}{2}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
Decrease in percent = \(\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{1}\) × 100 = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 100 = 50%

Question 2.
By what percent is Rs. 2000 less than Rs. 2400? Is it the same as the percent by which Rs. 2400 is more than Rs. 2000? (Page No. 101)
Answer:
Decrease in percent of Rs. 2000 less than Rs. 2400

Increase in percent of Rs. 2400 more than Rs. 2000

Question 3.
Preethi went to a shop to buy a dress. Its marked price is Rs. 2500. Shop owner gave 5% discount on it. On further insistence, he gave 3% more discount. What will be the final discount she obtained? Will it be equal to a single discount of 8%? Think, discuss with your friends and write it in your notebook. (Page No. 105)
Answer:
Marked price of a dress selected by Preethi = Rs. 2500
After allowing 5% of discount then S.P = M.P. – Discount%
= 2500 – \(\frac{5}{100}\) × 2500 = 2500 – 125 = Rs. 2375
Again 3% discount is allowed on Rs. 2375 then
S.P = 2375 – 3% of 2375
= 2375 – \(\frac{3}{100}\) × 2375 = 2375 – 71.25 = Rs. 2303.75
If 8% discount is allowed then S.P =

The S.P’s of both cases are not equal.
Discount on 5% + Discount on 3% = 125 + 71.25 = Rs. 196.25
Discount on 8% = Rs. 200
∴ Discounts are not equal which are obtained by Preethi.

Question 4.
What happens if cost price = selling price. Do we get any such situations in our daily life?
It is easy to find profit % or loss% in the above situations. But it will be more meaningful if we express them in percentages. Profit % is an example of increase percent of cost price and loss % is an example of decrease percent of cost price. (Page No. 106)
Answer:
If selling price is equal to cost price then either profit or loss will not be occurred.
In our daily life S.P. will not be equal to C.P. Then profit or loss will be occurred.
∴ Profit % = \(\frac{\text { Profit }}{\text { C.P. }}\) × 100;
Loss % = \(\frac{\text { Loss }}{\text { C.P. }}\) × 100.

Question 5.
A shop keeper sold two TV sets at Rs. 9,900 each. He sold one at a profit of 10% and the other at a loss of 10%. Oh the whole whether he gets profit or loss? If so what is its percentage? (Page No. 108)
Answer:
S.P of each T.V = Rs. 9,900
S.P of both T.Vs = 2 × 9,900 = Rs. 19,800
10% profit is allowed on first then C.P. =

10% loss is allowed on second then C.P.

C.P. of both T.V.’s = 9000 + 11000 = Rs. 20,000
Here C.P > S.P then loss will be occurred.
∴ Loss = C.P – S.P = 20000 – 19,800 = 200

Question 6.
What will happen if interest is compounded quarterly? How many conversion periods will be there? What about the quarter year rate – how much will it be of the annual rate? Discuss with your friends. (Page No. 115)
Answer:
Here C.I will be calculated for every 3 months. So, 4 time periods will be occurred in 1 year.
Rate of Interest (R) = \(\frac{R}{4}\) [∵ \(\frac{12}{3}\) = 4]

A = P\(\left[1+\frac{R}{400}\right]^{4}\)
