 SIMPLE AND COMPOUND INTEREST 

      ¤ Interest is the additional money paid for the usage of a certain amount.
      ¤ The amount borrowed is called the principal.
      ¤ The sum of interest and principal is called the amount.


       If the interest is calculated on same amount of money it is called the simple interest (S.I.).
     Simple Interest will be the same for all the years.
     If P is the principal, R is the rate of interest, T is time and S.I. the simple interest, then
                       
Note: Simple interest is always calculated on principal. Therefore simple interest is equal for every period.

 e.g: 1. What would be the simple interest obtained on an a amount of Rs. 6850 at the rate of 6 p.c.p.a. after 3 years?
(A) Rs. 2423     (B) Rs. 1233          (C) Rs. 1633     (D) Rs. 1525    (E) None of these
Sol: Here P = Rs. 6850,     T= 3 years and     R = 6%
                   
          Hence answer is (B)


2. How long will it take for Rs. 1250 to become Rs. 1600 at 7% per annum simple interest?
       (A) 5 years            (B) 3 years          (C) 4 years         (D) 6 years     (E) None of these
     

 e.g: What is the compound interest accrued on an amount of Rs. 8000, at the rate of 6%
p.a. at the end of 2 years?
      (A) Rs.2545      (B) Rs.2,257.20         (C) Rs.2986   (D) Rs.2775.40    (E) None of these
Sol:        
         

     
Shortcut:  Amount = 106% of 106% 8000 =  8988.80
                         C.I. = 8988.80 - 8000 = Rs. 988.80
Note: 1. If the interest is paid half yearly, time is doubled and the rate is halved.
            2. If the interest is paid quarterly, time becomes 4 times and the rate becomes onefourth

 e.g: What is the interest accrued on Rs.12000 for one and half year at 4% p.a. compounded
half yearly?

Difference between Simple and Compound Interest
     Difference between Simple Interest and Compound Interest can be calculated by using
formulae.
     There is no difference between Simple and Compound Interest for one year. For 2 years
                         


 


e.g: 1. What is the difference between Simple and Compound Interest for two years
on Rs. 24000 at 7% rate?
Sol:     
                
                   = Rs. 117.60


2. On what sum does the difference between Simple and Compound Interest for 3 years
at 5% rate will be Rs. 244?
Sol:
