Amount = ₹ 30,400 + ₹ 3,040 + ₹ 4,000 = ₹ 37,440
The amount in Mrs. Kapoor’s account on 01/01/2012 is ₹ 37,440.

Solution 20:
(i) Let x% be the rate of interest charged.
selina-icse-solutions-class-10-maths-compound-interest-without-using-formula-ex-1a-q20
The compound interest for the second year is ₹ 920
Rs. (80x + 1.20x2) = ₹ 920
⇒ 1.20x2 + 80x – 920 = 0
⇒ 3x2 + 200x – 2300 = 0
⇒ 3x2 + 230x – 30x – 2300 = 0
⇒ x(3x + 230) -10(3x + 230) = 0
⇒ (3x + 230)(x – 10) = 0
⇒ x = -230/3 or x = 10
As rate of interest cannot be negative so x = 10.
Therefore the rate of interest charged is 10%.
(ii) For 1st year:
Interest = ₹ 120x = ₹ 1200
For 2nd year:
Interest = ₹ (80x + 1.20x2) = ₹ 920
The amount of debt at the end of the second year is equal to the addition of principal of the second year and interest for the two years.
Debt = ₹ 8,000 + ₹ 1200 + Rs.920 = ₹ 10,120

Solution 9:
selina-icse-solutions-class-10-maths-compound-interest-without-using-formula-ex-1b-q9

Solution 10:
(i) The interest charged is compounded because if the interest charged is simple, then the interest for two years will be double of interest for one year which is not given.
(ii) C.I. for 1st year= ₹ 720
C.I. for two years= ₹ 1,497.60
C.I. for 2nd year = ₹ 1,497.60 – ₹ 720 = ₹ 777.60
Difference between the C.I. of two successive years
= ₹ 777.60 – ₹ 720
= ₹ 57.60
₹ 57.60 is the interest for one year on ₹ 720.
selina-icse-solutions-class-10-maths-compound-interest-without-using-formula-ex-1b-q10

Solution 11:
(i) C.I. for second year = ₹ 864
C.I. for third year = ₹ 933.12
Difference between the C.I. of two successive years= ₹ 933.12 – ₹ 864= ₹ 69.12
₹ 69.12 is the interest of one year on ₹ 864
selina-icse-solutions-class-10-maths-compound-interest-without-using-formula-ex-1b-q11-i
(ii) Let the sum of money= ₹ 100
Interest on it for 1st year= 8% of ₹ 100= ₹ 8
Amount in one year= ₹ 100+ ₹ 8= ₹ 108
Similarly, C.I. for 2nd year= 8% of ₹ 108 = ₹ 8.64
When C.I. for 2nd year is ₹ 8.64, sum = ₹ 100
selina-icse-solutions-class-10-maths-compound-interest-without-using-formula-ex-1b-q11-ii
Principal for 4th year= ₹ 10,000+₹ 800+₹ 864+₹ 933.12 = ₹ 12,597.12
Interest for 4th year= 8% of ₹ 12,597.12 = ₹ 1,007.77

Solution 12:
(i) Amount in three years = ₹ 20,160
Amount in four years = ₹ 24,192
Difference between the amounts of two successive years
= ₹ 24,192 – ₹ 20,160= ₹ 4,032
⇒ ₹ 4,032 is the interest of one year on ₹ 20,160
selina-icse-solutions-class-10-maths-compound-interest-without-using-formula-ex-1b-q12-i
(ii) Let amount in two years = ₹ 100
And amount in three years = ₹ 100+ 20% of ₹ 100
= ₹ 100+ ₹ 20
= ₹ 120
When amount in 3 years is ₹ 120, amount in two years = ₹ 100
selina-icse-solutions-class-10-maths-compound-interest-without-using-formula-ex-1b-q12-ii
(iii) Amount in 5 years = ₹ 24,192+ 20% of ₹ 24,192
= ₹ 24,192 +₹ 4,838.40
= ₹ 29,030.40
Solution 13:
selina-icse-solutions-class-10-maths-compound-interest-without-using-formula-ex-1b-q13
(ii)The total interest paid in two years = ₹ 350 + ₹ 560 = ₹ 910

selina-icse-solutions-class-10-maths-compound-interest-without-using-formula-ex-1b-q16

Solution 17:
(i) Difference between depreciation in value between the first and second years = ₹ 4,000 – ₹ 3,600 = ₹ 400
⇒ Depreciation of one year on ₹ 4,000 = ₹ 400
selina-icse-solutions-class-10-maths-compound-interest-without-using-formula-ex-1b-q17-i
(ii) Let ₹ 100 be the original cost of the machine.
Depreciation during the 1st year = 10% of ₹ 100 = ₹ 10
When the values depreciates by ₹ 10 during the 1st year, Original cost = ₹ 100
⇒ When the depreciation during 1st year = ₹ 4,000
The original cost of the machine is ₹ 40,000.
selina-icse-solutions-class-10-maths-compound-interest-without-using-formula-ex-1b-q17-ii
(iii) Total depreciation during all the three years
= Depreciation in value during(1st year + 2nd year + 3rd year)
= ₹ 4,000 + ₹ 3,600 + 10% of (₹ 40,000 – ₹ 7,600)
= ₹ 4,000 + ₹ 3,600 + ₹ 3,240
= ₹ 10,840
The cost of the machine at the end of the third year
= ₹ 40,000 – ₹ 10,840 = ₹ 29,160.

Exercise 1(C)

Solution 1:
Let the sum of money be ₹ 100
Rate of interest = 10% p.a.
Interest at the end of 1st year = 10% of ₹ 100 = ₹ 10
Amount at the end of 1st year = ₹ 100 + ₹ 10 = ₹ 110
Interest at the end of 2nd year = 10% of ₹ 110 = ₹ 11
Amount at the end of 2nd year = ₹ 110 + ₹ 11 = ₹ 121
Interest at the end of 3rd year = 10% of ₹ 121 = ₹ 12.10
Sum of interest of 1st year and 3rd year = ₹ 10 + ₹ 12.10 = ₹ 22.10
When sum of both interest is ₹ 22.10, principal is ₹ 100
When sum of both interest is ₹ 1,768, principal = \(\frac { 100\times 1768 }{ 22.10 }\) ₹ = ₹ 8,000

Solution 2:
selina-icse-solutions-class-10-maths-compound-interest-without-using-formula-ex-1c-q2

Solution 3:
selina-icse-solutions-class-10-maths-compound-interest-without-using-formula-ex-1c-q3

Solution 4:
Cost of machine= ₹ 32,000
Depreciation rate every year = 5%
∴ Cost of machine after one year = ₹ 32,000- 5% of ₹ 32,000
= ₹ 32,000- ₹ 1,600
= ₹ 30,400
Cost of machine after two year = ₹ 30,400- 5% of ₹ 30,400
= ₹ 30,400- ₹ 1,520
= ₹ 28,880
∴ Total depreciation in two years = ₹ 32,000 – ₹ 28,880 = ₹ 3,120.

Solution 5:
Let the sum of money be ₹ 100.
Rate of interest= 10%p.a.
Interest at the end of 1st year = 10% of ₹ 100= ₹ 10
Amount at the end of 1st year = ₹ 100 + ₹ 10= ₹ 110
Interest at the end of 2nd year = 10% of ₹ 110 = ₹ 11
Amount at the end of 2nd year = ₹ 110 + ₹ 11= ₹ 121
Interest at the end of 3rd year = 10% of ₹ 121= ₹ 12.10
∴ Difference between interest of 3rd year and 1st year = ₹ 12.10 – ₹ 10 = ₹ 2.10
When difference is ₹ 2.10, principal is ₹ 100.
When difference is ₹ 252, principal = \(\frac { 100\times 252 }{ 2.10 }\) = ₹ 12,000.

Solution 6:
(i) C.I. for 2nd year = ₹ 9,680
C.I. for 3rd year = ₹ 10,648
Difference in both interests = ₹ 10,648 – ₹ 9,680 = ₹ 968
selina-icse-solutions-class-10-maths-compound-interest-without-using-formula-ex-1c-q6
(ii) Interest for 4th year = ₹ 10,648+ 10% of ₹ 10,648
= ₹ 10,648 + ₹ 1,064.80
= ₹ 11,712.80
(iii) Let principal be ₹ 100
Rate of interest= 10% p.a.
Interest at the end of 1st year = 10% of ₹ 100= ₹ 10
Amount at the end of 1st year = ₹ 100 + ₹ 10= ₹ 110
Interest at the end of 2nd year = 10% of ₹ 110 = ₹ 11
When C.I. for 2nd year is ₹ 11, principal is ₹ 100
When C.I. for 2nd year is ₹ 9,680, principal = ₹ \(\frac { 100\times 9680 }{ 11 }\) = ₹ 88,000
Interest for 1st year = 10% of ₹ 88,000 = ₹ 8,800.

Solution 7:
(i) Amount in two years = ₹ 9,680
Amount in three years = ₹ 10,648
∴ Difference in both amounts = ₹ 10,648 – ₹ 9,680 = ₹ 968
selina-icse-solutions-class-10-maths-compound-interest-without-using-formula-ex-1c-q7
(ii) Amount in 4 years = ₹ 10,648+ 10% of ₹ 10,648
= ₹ 10,648 + ₹ 1,064.80
= ₹ 11,712.80
(iii) Let principal be ₹ 100
Rate of interest= 10%p.a.
Interest at the end of 1st year = 10% of ₹ 100= ₹ 10
Amount at the end of 1st year = ₹ 100 + ₹ 10= ₹ 110
Interest at the end of 2nd year = 10% of ₹ 110 = ₹ 11
Amount at the end of 2nd year = ₹ 110 +₹ 11= ₹ 121
When amount at the end of 2nd year is ₹ 121, principal is ₹ 100
When amount at the end of 2nd year is ₹ 9,680, principal
= ₹ \(\frac { 100\times 9680 }{ 121 }\)
= ₹ 8,000
∴ Amount in one year = ₹ 8,000+10% of ₹ 8,000
= ₹ 8,000 + ₹ 800
= ₹ 8,800

Solution 9:
selina-icse-solutions-class-10-maths-compound-interest-without-using-formula-ex-1c-q9

Solution 10:
(i) The population of a town increases by 10% every 3 years.
The population of the town after 3 years
= 72,600 + 10% of 72,600
= 72,600 + 7,260
= 79,860
The population of the tower after 6 years
= 79,860 + 10% of 79,860
= 79,860 + 7,986
= 87,846
The population of the town after 6 years is 87,846.
(ii) Let x be the population of the town 6 years ago.
The present population of the town is 72,600.
The population of the town 3 years ago
= x + 10% of x
= x + 0.10x
= 1.10x
The present population of the town
= 1.10x + 10% of 1.10x
⇒ 72,600 = 1.10x + 0.110x
⇒ 72,600 = 1.210x
⇒ x = 60,000
The population of the town before 6 years ago was 60,000.

Formulae

  1. The standard form of a quadratic equation is ax2 + bx + c = 0, where a, b and c are all real numbers and a ≠ 0.
    e.g., equation 4x2 + 5x – 6 = 0 is a quadratic equation in standard form.
  2. Every quadratic equation gives two values of the unknown variable and these values are called roots of the equation.
  3. Zero Product Rule: Whenever the product of two expressions is zero; at least one of the expressions is zero.
    icse-solutions-class-10-mathematics-8
  4. Solving quadratic equations using the formula:
    The roots of the quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0; where a ≠ 0 can be obtained by using the formula:
    icse-solutions-class-10-mathematics-9
  5. To examine the nature of the roots:
    Examining the roots of a quadratic equation means to see the type of its roots i.e., whether they are real or imaginary, rational or irrational, equal or unequal.
    The nature of the roots of a quadratic equation depends entirely on the value of its discriminant b2 – 4ac.
    Case I: If a, b and c are real numbers and a ≠ 0, then discriminant:
    (i) b2 – 4ac = 0 ⇒ the roots are real and equal.
    (ii) b2 – 4a c > 0 ⇒ the roots are real and unequal.
    (iii) b2 – 4ac < 0 ⇒ the roots are imaginary (not real).
    Case II: If a, b and c are rational numbers and a ≠ 0, then discriminant.
    (i) b2 – 4ac = 0 ⇒ the roots are rational and equal.
    (ii) b2 – 4ac > 0 and b2 – 4ac is a perfect square ⇒ the roots are rational and unequal.
    (iii) b2 – 4ac > 0 and b2 – 4ac is not a perfect square ⇒ the roots are irrational and unequal.
    (iv) b2 – 4ac < 0 ⇒ the roots are imaginary.
  6. Sum and product of the roots: If a and P are the roots of quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 then

Formulae

Calculating interest on a savings bank account:

  1. Interest for the month is calculated on the minimum balance between the 10th day and the last day of the month.
  2. Add all these balances. However, if the same balance continues for n months then multiply this balance by n, rather than writing it n times and then adding.
  3. Find simple interest on this sum for one month.
  4. If the interest is less than Rs. 1, neglect it.
  5. No interest is paid for the month in which the account is closed.

Calculation of maturity amount on recurring deposit:
The interest on the recurring deposit account can be calculated by using the formula:
icse-solutions-class-10-mathematics-4
where S.I. is the simple interest, P is the money deposited per month, n is the number of months for which the money has been deposited and r is the simple interest rate percent per annum.

The amount of money paid by a customer for an article = The sale price of the article + Sales Tax on it, if any.
VAT (Value Added Tax):

  1. Unlike sales tax, VAT is also collected by the state government.
  2. It is not in addition to the existing Sales Tax, but is the replacement of Sales Tax. Presently, a majority of state governments have accepted the VAT system.
  3. It is tax on the value added at each transfer of goods, from the original manufacturer to the retailer.
    Assuming that the rate of tax is 10% and a trader purchases an article for Rs. 800, the tax he pays = 10% Rs. 800 = Rs. 80.
    Now, if he sells the same article for Rs. 1,150.
    The tax he recovers (gets) = 10% of Rs. 1,150 = 115
    ∴ VAT = Tax recovered on the sale – Tax he paid on the purchase
    = Rs. 115 – Rs. 80 = 35.
  4. The difference of tax recovered on the sale value and paid on the purchase value is deposited with the government as VAT.

Formulae

Similarities of triangles: When two triangles are similar, their corresponding angles are equal and corresponding sides are proportional.
icse-solutions-class-10-mathematics-25

Axioms of similarity of triangles: (i.e., three similarity postulates for triangle)

  1. If two triangles have a pair of corresponding angles equal and the sides including them proportional; then the triangles are similar (SAS postulate).
  2. If two triangles have two pairs of corresponding angles equal; the triangles are similar (AA or AAA postulate).
  3. If two triangles have their three pairs of corresponding sides proportional, the triangles are similar (SSS postulate).

Basic Theorem of Proportionality:

  1. A line drawn parallel to any side of a triangle, divides the other two sides proportionally. (Basic proportionality theorem).
    icse-solutions-class-10-mathematics-26
    Conversely: If a line divides two sides of a triangle proportionally, the line is parallel to the third side.
    icse-solutions-class-10-mathematics-27
  2. Relation between the areas of two triangles: Theorem: The areas of two similar triangles are proportional to the squares on their corresponding sides.
