Solutions by Arjit:

(1) Installment* [(100/100+r)+(100/100+r)^2=Borrowed Amount

Use this formula to get Answer


(2) 4 years me 2 times

4+4 yrs me 4 times

4+4+4 yrs me 8 times


(3) Interest=10000(1+1/100)^3-10000


(4) First year CI or SI will be same=4 Rs

Second year interest=100[(1+4/100)^2)-100=4.16

Difference=4.16-4.00=0.16

……0.16———100

1—————100/0.16

88…………100*88/0.16=55000

(5) 50000(1-20/1000)^2……Please note, it is mentioned 1000 here.


(6)10648=P(1+10/100)^3…CALCULATE P


(7) Let share be x and 16400-x…..x elder and 16400-x younger

x(1+5/100)^2=16400-x(1+5/100)^3

because 18 yrs son will become 20 yrs in 2 yrs and 17 years son will become in 3 yrs

(8) Difference in CI-SI = 410 – 400 = Rs. 10

SI 1 year = 400/2 = Rs. 200 ..

This will work as Pricpl for next yr and intrest will be 10 rupees

10=200*r*1/100

r= 5%
