NoPrincipal (Rs)Rate (p.c.p.a.)Duration (years)
i.200052
ii.500083
iii.40007.52

Solution:
i. Here P = Rs 2000, R = 5 p.c.p.a. and N = 2 years
Maharashtra Board Class 8 Maths Solutions Chapter 14 Compound Interest Practice Set 14.1 1
= 5 × 441
∴ A = Rs 2205
I = Amount (A) – Principal (P)
= 2205 – 2000
= Rs 205
∴ The amount is Rs 2205 and the compound interest is Rs 205.

ii. Here, P = Rs 5000, R = 8 p.c.p.a. and N = 3 years
Maharashtra Board Class 8 Maths Solutions Chapter 14 Compound Interest Practice Set 14.1 2
∴ A = Rs 6298.56
I = Amount (A) – Principal (P)
= 6298.56 – 5000
= Rs 1298.56
∴ The amount is Rs 6298.56 and the compound interest is Rs 1298.56.

iii. Here, P = Rs 4000, R = 7.5 p.c.p.a. and N = 2 years
Maharashtra Board Class 8 Maths Solutions Chapter 14 Compound Interest Practice Set 14.1 3
∴A = Rs 4622.50
I = Amount (A) – Principal (P)
= 4622.50 – 4000
= Rs 622.50
∴The amount is Rs 4622.50 and the compound interest is Rs 622.50.

N = 3 years
Maharashtra Board Class 8 Maths Solutions Chapter 14 Compound Interest Practice Set 14.1 4
= 0.8 × 28 × 28 × 28
= Rs 17,561.60
Sameerrao should pay Rs 17,561.60 to clear his loan.

Maharashtra Board Class 8 Maths Solutions Chapter 14 Compound Interest Practice Set 14.1 5
Maharashtra Board Class 8 Maths Solutions Chapter 14 Compound Interest Practice Set 14.1 6
I = Amount (A) – Principal (P)
= 9768.20 – 8000
