Commercial Math • Compound Interest Q3 (+3 / -1)

What is the compound interest on ₹10,000 for 2 years at 10% per annum, compounded annually?

A. ₹2,000
B. ₹2,100
C. ₹2,200
D. ₹2,050
Show Solution & Explanation
Answer: B. ₹2,100
Step-by-Step Calculation:
Principal ($P$) = ₹10,000, Rate ($R$) = 10%, Time ($n$) = 2 years.
Amount ($A$) = $P \times (1 + R/100)^n = 10000 \times (1 + 10/100)^2 = 10000 \times 1.1 \times 1.1 = ₹12,100$.
Compound Interest ($CI$) = Amount - Principal = ₹12,100 - ₹10,000 = ₹2,100.
Shortcut method: Effective 2-year rate at 10% = $10 + 10 + \frac{10 \times 10}{100} = 21\%$. CI = $21\% \text{ of } 10,000 = ₹2,100$.
Mensuration • 2D Geometry Q4 (+3 / -1)

If the radius of a circle is increased by 20%, by what percentage does its area increase?

A. 20%
B. 40%
C. 44%
D. 48%
Show Solution & Explanation
Answer: C. 44%
Calculation: Area of circle = $\pi r^2$. Since area is proportional to $r^2$, successive percentage formula applies:
Percentage Increase = $x + y + \frac{xy}{100} = 20 + 20 + \frac{20 \times 20}{100} = 40 + 4 = 44\%$.
