CA Foundation Maths Solutions For Chapter 4 Time Value of Money Introduction

People can’t make money or spend it on housing. food, clothing, education, entertainment, etc. Sometimes extra expenditures have also to be met. For example, there might be a marriage in the family; one may want to line house, one may want to set up his or her business, one may want to have a car, and so on.

Some people can manage to put aside some money for such expected and unexpected expenditures. But most people have to borrow money for such contingencies.
From where they can borrow money? Money can be borrowed from friends money lenders or Banks.
If you can arrange a loan from your friend it might be interest-free but if you borrow money from lenders or Banks you will have to pay some charge periodically for using money from money lenders or Banks. This charge is called interest.
Interest can be defined as the price paid by a borrower for the use of a lender’s money.

Why is Interest Paid?

Time value of money: The time value of money means that the value of the unity of money is different in different periods. The sum of money received in the future is less valuable than it is today. In other words, the present worth of money received after some time will be less than the money received today. Since money received today has more value rational investors would prefer current receipts to future receipts. If they postpone their receipts, they will certainly charge some money i.e., interest.
Opportunity Cost: The lender has a choice between using his money in different investments. If he chooses one, he forgoes the return from all others. In other words, lending incurs an opportunity cost due to the possible alternative uses of the lent money.
Inflation: Most economies generally exhibit inflation. Inflation is a fall in the purchasing power of money. Due to inflation a given amount of money buys fewer goods in the future than it will now. The borrower needs to compensate the lender for this.
Liquidity Preference: People prefer to have their resources available in a form that can immediately be converted into cash rather than a form that takes time or money to realize.
Risk Factor: There is always a risk that the borrower will go bankrupt or otherwise default on the loan. Risk is a determinable factor in fixing the rate of interest

CA Foundation Maths Solutions For Chapter 4 Simple Interest

If the interest on a sum borrowed for a certain period is reckoned uniformly, then it is called Simple Interest.
Simple interest is the interest computed on the principal for the entire period of borrowing.
It is calculated on the outstanding principal balance and not on interest previously earned. It means no interest is paid on interest earned during the term of the loan.

Simple Interest – Important Facts and Formulae:

Principal: The money borrowed or lent out for a certain period is called the principal or the sum.

Interest: Extra money paid for using other’s money is called interest.

Simple Interest (S.I.): If the interest on a sum borrowed for a certain period is reckoned uniformly, then it is called simple interest.

Let Principal = P, Rate = R% per annum (p.a.), and Time = T years. Them

⇒ $\text { S.I. }=\left(\frac{P \times R \times T}{100}\right)$

⇒ $\mathrm{P}=\left(\frac{100 \times 5 . I}{R \times T}\right) $

⇒ $\mathrm{R}=\left(\frac{100 \times 5 . I}{P \times T}\right)$

⇒ $\mathrm{T}=\left(\frac{100 \times 5 . I}{P \times R}\right)$

A = Accumulated amount

[Final value of investment]

P = Principal. [Initial value of an investment]

r= Rate of interest

t = time (years.]

I = Amount interest

A = P + I

I = A – P

⇒ $\mathrm{A}=\mathrm{P}\left(1+\frac{1 t}{100}\right)$

Solution:

⇒ $\mathrm{P}=\mathrm{Rs} 68000, \mathrm{R}=\frac{50}{3} \% \text { p.a and } \mathrm{T}=\frac{9}{12} \text { Years }=\frac{3}{4} \text { years. }$

⇒ $\mathrm{S} .1 .=\left(\frac{P \times R \times S}{100}\right)=R s .\left(68000 \times \frac{50}{3} \times \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{1}{100}\right)=R s .8500 $

Question 2. Find the simple interest on Rs. 3000 at 6ÿ% per annum for the period from 4″’ Fell., 2005 to 18 th April, 2005.
Solution:

⇒ $\text { Time }=(24+31+18) \text { days= } 73 \text { days }=\frac{73}{365} \text { year }=\frac{1}{5} \text { year. }$

⇒ $P=\text { Rs. } 3000 \text { and } R=6 \frac{1}{4} \% \text { p.a. }=\frac{25}{4} \% \text { p.a. }$

⇒ $\text { S.I. }=\text { Rs. Rs. }\left(3000 \times \frac{25}{4} \times \frac{1}{5} \times \frac{1}{100}\right)=\text { Rs. } 37.50 $

Remark: the day on which money is deposited is not counted while the day on which money is withdrawn is counted.

Question 3. A sum at simple interest at 131/2% per annum amounts to Rs. 2502.50 after 4 years, find the sum.
Solution:

Let the sum be Rs. X then, S.l. = Rs$\left(x \times \frac{27}{2} \times 4 \times \frac{1}{100}\right)={Rs} . \frac{27 x}{50}$

⇒ $\frac{77 x}{50}=250250 \Leftrightarrow x=\frac{250250 \times 50}{77}=1625 .$

Question 4. A sum of Rs. 800 amounts to Rs. 920 in 3 years at simple interest. If the interest rate is increased by 3%, it would amount to how much?
Solution:

S.l. =Rs. (920 – 800) = Rs. 120; P=Rs. 800, T= 3 yrs.

⇒ $\mathrm{R}=\left(\frac{100 \times 120}{800 \times 3}\right) \%=5 \% $

⇒ $\text { New rate }=(5+3) \%=8 \%$

⇒ $\text { New S.I. }=\text { Rs. }\left(\frac{800 \times 8 \times 3}{100}\right)=\text { Rs. } 192$

New amount – Rs. (800+192) = Rs. 992.

Question 5. Adam borrowed some money at the rate of 6% p.a. for the first two years, at the rate of 9% p.a. for the next three years, and at the rate of 14% p.a. for the period beyond five years, If he pays a total interest of Rs. 11,400 at the end of nine years, how much money did he borrow?
Solution:

Let the sum borrowed be x. then,

⇒ $\left(\frac{x \times 6 \times 2}{100}\right)+\left(\frac{x \times 9 \times 3}{100}\right)+\left(\frac{x \times 14 \times 4}{100}\right)=11400$

⇒ $\Leftrightarrow\left(\frac{3 x}{25}+\frac{27 x}{100}+\frac{14 x}{25}\right)=11400 \Leftrightarrow \frac{95 x}{100}=11400 \Leftrightarrow\left(\frac{11400 \times 100}{95}\right)=12000$

Hence, sum borrowed = Rs. 12,000

Question 6. A certain sum of money amounts to Rs. 1008 in 2 years and to Rs. 1164 in 31/2 years find the sum and the rate of interest.
Solution:

⇒ $\text { S.I. for } 1 \frac{1}{2} \text { years }=\text { Rs. }(1164-1008)=\text { Rs. } 156 .$

⇒ $\text { S.I. for } 2 \text { years }=\text { Rs. }\left(156 \times \frac{2}{3} \times 2\right)=\text { Rs. } 208 \text {. }$

⇒ $\text { Principal= Rs. }(1008-208)=\text { Rs. } 800 .$

⇒ $\text { Now, } P=800, T=2 \text { and S.I. }=208$

⇒ $\text { Rate }=\left(\frac{100 \times 208}{800 \times 2}\right) \%=13 \% .$

Question 7. At what rate present per annum will a sum of money double in 16 years?
Solution:

Let principals P. then, S.l. = P and T = 16yrs.

⇒ $\text { Rate }=\left(\frac{100 \times P}{P \times 16}\right) \%=6 \frac{1}{4} \% p . a .$

Question 8. The simple interest on a sum of money is $\frac{4}{9}$ of the principal, find the rate present and time, if both are numerically equal.
Solution:

Let sum =Rs. x. then, S.L =Rs.$\frac{4 x}{9}$

Let rate = R % and time = R years.

Then$\left(\frac{x \times R \times R}{100}\right)=\frac{4 x}{9} \text { or } R^2=\frac{400}{9} \text { or } R=\frac{20}{3}=6 \frac{2}{3}$

⇒ $\text { Rate }=6 \frac{2}{3} \% \text { and time }=6 \frac{2}{3} y \text { rs }=6 \text { yrs } 8 \text { Months. }$

Question 9. The simple interest on a certain sum of money for 2ÿ years at 12% per annum is Rs.40 less than the simple interest on the same sum for 3 years at 10% per annum. Find the sum.
Solution:

Let the sum be Rs. X. then,$\left(\frac{x \times 10 \times 7}{100 \times 2}\right)-\left(\frac{x \times 12 \times 5}{100 \times 2}\right)=40$.

⇒ $\frac{7 x}{20}-\frac{3 x}{10}=40 \Leftrightarrow x=(40 \times 20)=800 \text {. }$

Hence, the sum is Rs.800.

Question 10. A sum was put at simple interest at a certain rate for 3 years. Had it been put at 2% higher rate, it would have fetched Rs. 360 more. Find the sum.
Solution:

Let sum= P and original rate= R. then,$\left[\frac{P \times(R+2) \times 3}{100}\right]-\left[\frac{P \times R \times 3}{100}\right]=360$

3PR + 6P – 3PR =36000« 6P =36000o P =6000

Hence, sum =Rs. 6000.

3.6
6
Cannot be determined
None of these

Solution:

Let rate = R% and time = R years. Then,

⇒ $\left(\frac{1200 \times R \times R}{100}\right)=432 \Leftrightarrow \quad 12 R^2=432 \quad \Leftrightarrow \quad R^2=\quad 36 \Leftrightarrow \mathrm{R}=6$

Question 5. A man took a loan from a bank at the rate of 12% p.a. simple interest. After 3 years he had to pay Rs.5400 interest only for the period. The principal amount borrowed by him was:

Rs 2000
Rs 10,000
Rs 15,000
Rs. 20,000

Solution:

⇒ $\text { Principal }=\text { Rs. }\left(\frac{100 \times 5100}{12 \times 3}\right)=\text { Rs. } 15000 .$

Question 6. What is the present worth of Rs.132 due in 2 years at 5% simple interest per annum?

Rs. 112
Rs. 118.80
Rs. 15,000
Rs. 122

Solution:

Let the present worth be Rs. x, then, S.l. =Rs. (132-x).

⇒ $ \left(\frac{x \times 5 \times 2}{100}\right) 132-x \Leftrightarrow 10 x=13200-100 x \Leftrightarrow 110 x=13200 \Leftrightarrow x=120 $

Question 7. A sum fetched a total simple interest of Rs. 4016.25 at the rate of 9 p. c. p.a. in 5 years. What is the sum?

Rs. 4462.50
Rs. 8032.50
Rs. 8900

Solution:

⇒ $\text { principal }=\text { Rs. }\left(\frac{100 \times 4016.25}{9 \times 5}\right)={Rs} .\left(\frac{401625}{45}\right)={Rs} .8925 .$

Question 8. Rs. 800 becomes Rs. 956 in 3 years at a certain rate of simple interest, if the rate ofinterest is increased by 4%, what amount will Rs. 800 become in 3 years?

Rs. 1020.80
Rs 1025
Rs. 1052
Data inadequate
None of these

Solution:

S.l. = Rs. (956-800) = Rs. 1 56.

⇒ $\text { Rate }=\left(\frac{100 \times 156}{800 \times 3}\right) \%=6 \frac{1}{2} \%$

⇒ $\text { New rate }=\left(6 \frac{1}{2}+4\right) \%=10 \frac{1}{2} \%$

⇒ $\text { New S.I. }=\text { Rs. }\left(800 \times \frac{21}{2} \times \frac{3}{100}\right)=\text { Rs. } 252$

New amount =Rs.(800+252)= Rs.1052

Question 9. A certain amount earns a simple interest of Rs.1750 after 7 years. Had the interest been 2% more, how much more interest would it have earned?

Rs. 35
Rs. 245
Rs. 350
Cannot be determined
None of these

Solution:

We need to know the S.I. principal and time to find the rate since the principal is not given, so data is inadequate.

Question 10. In how many years, Rs. 150willproduce the same interest @ 8%as Rs.800 produce in 3 years $\text { @ } 4 \frac{1}{2} \% \text { ? }$

Solution:

P= Rs 800, R=4ÿ% = %, T = 3 years, then,

$\text { S.I. }=\text { Rs. }\left(800 \times \frac{9}{2} \times \frac{3}{100}\right)=R s .108 .$

Now, P =Rs. 150, S.l. = Rs. 108, R= 8%

⇒ $\text { Time }=\left(\frac{100 \times 108}{150 \times 8}\right) \text { years }=9 \text { years. }$

Question 11. A sum invested at 5% simple interest per annum grows to Rs. 504 in 4 years. The same amount at 10% simple interest per annum in 2ÿyears will grow to:

Rs. 420
Rs. 450
Rs. 525
Rs. 550

Solution:

let the sum be Rs. X. then, S.l. = Rs.(504-x).

⇒ $\left(\frac{x \times 5 \times 4}{100}\right)=504 \cdot \mathrm{x} \Leftrightarrow 20 \mathrm{x}=50400-100 \mathrm{x} \Leftrightarrow 120 \mathrm{x}=50400 \Leftrightarrow \mathrm{x}=420$

Now, P= Rs. 420, R= 10%. $\mathrm{T}=\frac{5}{2} \text { years. }$

⇒ ${\text { S.I. }=Rs} .\left(\frac{420 \times 10}{100} \times \frac{5}{2}\right)={Rs} .105$

Amount = Rs, (420+105] = Rs. 525.

Question 12. What will be the ratio of simple interest earned by a certain amount at the same rate of interest for 6 years and that for 9 years?

1 : 3
1: 4
2 : 3
Data inadequate
None Of these

Solution:

Let the principal boI’ ami rale ol interest be R%

Required ratio $=\left\lfloor\frac{\frac{P \times R \times 6}{100}}{\frac{P\times R\times 9}{100}}\right\rfloor=\frac{6 PR}{9 P R}=\frac{6}{9}=2: 3$

Question 13. Nitin borrowed some money at the rate of 6% p.a. for the first three years, 9% p.a. for the next five years, and 13% p.a. for the period beyond eight years, If the total interest paid by him at the end of eleven years is Rs. 8160, how much money did he borrow?

Rs. 8000
Rs. 10,000
12,000
Data inadequate

Solution:

let the sum to Its. X. Then,

⇒ $\left(\frac{x \times 6 \times 3}{100}\right)+\left(\frac{x \times 9 \times 5}{100}\right)+\left(\frac{x \times 13 \times 3}{100}\right)=8160$

18x+45x+39x=(8 1 60 x 100) <=> 102x = 816000 <=> x = 8000.

Question 14. An automobile financier claims to be lending money at simple interest, but he includes the interest every six months for calculating the principal. If he is charging an interest of 10% the effective rate of interest becomes:

10%
10. 25%
10.5%
None of these

Solution:

Let the sum be Rs. 100 then

S.I. for first 6 months Rs.$\text { Rs. }\left(\frac{100 \times 10 \times 1}{100 \times 2}\right)={Rs} .5$

S.l. for last 6 months= Rs.$\left(\frac{105 \times 10 \times 1}{100 \times 2}\right)=Rs .5 .25$

So, the amount at the end of 1 year is Rs. (100+5+5.25)= Rs.110.25.

Effective rate = (110.25-100)= 10.25 %

Question 15. A sum of money at simple interest amounts to Rs. 815 in 3 years and to Rs.854 in 4 years. The sum is:

Rs. 650
Rs. 690
Rs. 698
Rs 700

Solution:

S.l. for 1 year= RS. (854-815)=Rs.39.

S.l. for 3 Years= RS.(39 x 3) = Rs.117.

Principal = Rs.( 815 -117) = Rs. 698.

Question 16. A sum of money lent out at simple interest amounts to Rs. 720 after 2 years and to Rs. 1020 after a further period of 5 years. The sum is:

Rs. 500
Rs. 600
Rs. 700
Rs. 710

Solution:

S.I. for 5 years RS. (1020-720)=Rs.300

S.I. for 2 Years=$\text { RS. }\left(\frac{300}{5} \times 2\right)={Rs} .120$

Principal = Rs.( 720 -120) = Rs. 600.

Question 17. A sum of money amorist to Rs. 9800 after 5 years and Rs. 12005 after 8 years at the same rate of simple interest, the rate of interest per annum is:

Solution:

S.I. for 3 years RS. (12005-9800)=Rs.2205

⇒ $\text { S.I. for } 5 \text { Years }=\text { RS. }\left(\frac{2205}{3} \times 5\right)=\text { Rs. } 3675 \text {. }$

⇒ $\text { Principal }=\text { Rs. }(9800-3675)=\text { Rs. } 6125 \text {. }$

⇒ $\text { Hence, rate }=\left(\frac{100 \times 3675}{6125 \times 5}\right) \%=12 \%$

Question 18. At what rate present of simple interest will a sum of money double itself in 12 years?

$ 8 \frac{1}{4} \%$
$ 8 \frac{1}{3} \%$
$ 8 \frac{1}{2} \%$
$ 9 \frac{1}{2} \%$

Solution:

Letsum=x. then, S.l. = x

⇒ $\text { Rate }=\left(\frac{100 \times S . J}{P \times T}\right)=\left(\frac{100 \times x}{x \times 12}\right) \%=\frac{25}{3} \%=8 \frac{1}{3} \%$

Question 19. At what rate present per annum will the simple interest sum of money be $\frac{2}{5}$ of the amount in 10 years?

4%
$5 \frac{2}{3} \%$
6%
$6 \frac{2}{3} \%$

Solution:

Let sum= x. then, S.I. =$\frac{2 x}{5} \text { Time }=10 \text { Years. }$

⇒ $\text { Rate }=\left(\frac{100 \times 2 x}{x \times 5 \times 10}\right) \%=4 \%$

Question 20. In how much time would the simple interest on a certain sum be 0.125 times the principal at 10% per annum?

$1 \frac{1}{4}years$
$1 \frac{3}{4}years$
$2 \frac{1}{4}years$
$2 \frac{3}{4}years$

Solution:

Let sum= x. then, S.l. = 0.125x=$\frac{1}{8} x, R=10 \%$

⇒ $\text { Time }=\left(\frac{100 \times x}{x \times 8 \times 10}\right) \text { Years }=\frac{5}{4} \text { Years }=1 \frac{1}{4} \text { Years }$

Question 21. A sum of money becomes of itself in 3 years at a certain rate of simple interest the rate annum is:

$5 \frac{5}{9} \%$
$ 6 \frac{5}{9} \%$
18%
25%

Solution:

Let sum= x. then, Amount=$\frac{7 x}{6}, \mathrm{~S} . \mathrm{I}=\left(\frac{7 x}{6}-x\right)=\frac{x}{6} ;$

Time = 3 Years

⇒ $\text { Rate }=\left(\frac{100 \times x}{x \times 6 \times 3}\right) \%=\frac{50}{9} \%=5 \frac{5}{9} \%$

Question 22. Simple Interest on a certain amount is $\frac{9}{16}$of the principal. If the numbers representing principal are lent out, is:

$5 \frac{1}{2}years$
$ 6 \frac{1}{2}years$
7 years
$7 \frac{1}{2}years$

Solution:

let sum = x. tlum, S.l. $=\frac{9}{16} x$

Let rate= R % and Time = R years

⇒ $\left(\frac{x \times R \times R}{100}\right)=\frac{9 x}{16} \Leftrightarrow R^2=\frac{900}{16} \Leftrightarrow R=\frac{30}{4}=7 \frac{1}{2}$

Hence, time = $7 \frac{1}{2} \text { Years. }$

Question 23. A lends Rs. 2500 to B and a certain sum to C at the same time at 7% p.a. simple Interest. If after 4 years, A altogether receives Rs. 1120 as interest from B and C, then the sum lent to C is:

Rs. 700
Rs. 1500
Rs. 4000
Rs. 6500

Solution:

Let the sum lent to C he Rs. X. then,$\left(\frac{2500 \times 7 \times 4}{100}\right)+\left(\frac{x \times 7 \times 4}{100}\right)=1120$

⇒ $ \Leftrightarrow \quad \frac{7}{25} x=(1120-700) \Rightarrow x=\left(\frac{420 \times 25}{7}\right)=1500$

Question 24. A lent Rs.5000 for 2 years and Rs. 300 for 4 years on simple interest at the same rate of interest and received Rs. 2200 in all from both of them as interest. The rate of interest per annum is:

5%
7%
71 %
10%

Solution:

Let the rate be R% p.a. then,$\left(\frac{5000 \times R \times 2}{100}\right)+\left(\frac{3000 \times R \times 4}{100}\right)=2200$

⇒ $\Leftrightarrow \quad 100 R+120 R=2200 \Leftrightarrow R=\left(\frac{2200}{220}\right)=10 \text { Rate }=10 \%$

Question 25. A sum of Rs 725 is lent at the beginning of a year at a certain rate of interest. After 8 months, a sum of Rs. 362.50 more is lent but at the rate twice the former at the end of the year, Rs.33.50 is earned as interest from both the loans. What was the original rate of interest?

3.6%
4.5%
5%
6%
None

Solution:

Let the original rate be R% then, the new rate = (2R) %.

⇒ $\left(\frac{725 \times R \times 1}{100}\right)+\left(\frac{36250 \times 2 R \times 1}{100 \times 3}\right)=33.50$

(2175+725) R= 33.50x 100 x 3=10050 $\Leftrightarrow \quad R=\frac{10050}{2900}=3.46$

Original rate = 3.46%

Question 26. The difference between the simple interest received from two different sources on Rs. 1500 for 3 years is Rs. 13.50 the difference between their rates of interest is:

0.1%
0.2%
0.3%
0.4%
None

Solution:

⇒ $\left(\frac{1500 \times R_1 \times 3}{100}\right)-\left(\frac{1500 \times R_2 \times 3}{100}\right)=13.50$

4500 (R1 – R2) = 1350o (R1 – R2)=$=\frac{1350}{4500}=0.3 \%$

Question 27. Peter invested an amount of 12000 at the rate of 10 p.c.p.a. simple interest and another amount at the end of 20 p.c.p.a. simple interest. The total interest earned at the end of one year on the total amount invested became 14 p.c.p.a. Find the total amount invested.

Rs. 20,000
Rs. 22,000
Rs 24,000
Rs. 25,000
None

Solution:

Let the second amount be RS. X. Then,

⇒ $\left(\frac{12000 \times 10 \times 1}{100}\right)+\left(\frac{x \times 20 \times 1}{100}\right)=\left[\frac{(12000+x) \times 14 \times 1}{100}\right]$

12000+20x=1 68000+14x ⇔ 6x= 48000 ⇔ x = 8000

Total investment = Rs. (12000+8000) = Rs. 20000

45,000
50,000
Rs. 24,600
Rs. 26,000

Solution:

Let the sum be Rs. X, then,$\left(x \times \frac{25}{2} \times \frac{1}{100}\right)-\left(\frac{x \times 10 \times 1}{100}\right)=1250$

⇔ 25x-20x = 250000 ⇔ 5x = 250000 o x = 50000

Question 29. A moneylender finds that due to a fall in the annual rate of interest from 8% to 7- %, his 4 yearly income diminishes by Rs. 61.50 His capital is:

Rs. 22,400

Question 31. Mr. Thomas invested an amount of Rs. 13900 divided into two different schemes A and B at the simple interest earned in 2 years Rs. 3508, what was the amount invested in scheme B?

Rs. 6400
Rs. 6500
7200
Rs. 7500
None

Solution:

Let the sum invested in scheme A be Rs. X and that in scheme B be Rs. (13900 – x).

⇒ $\text { Then, }\left(\frac{x \times 14 \times 2}{100}\right)+\left[\frac{13900-x) \times 11 \times 2}{100}\right]=3508$

28x- 22x = 350800 – (13900 x 22) cs 6x = 45000 ⇔ x = 7500.

Question 32. An amount of Rs. 100000 is invested in two types of shares. The first yields an interest of 9% p.a. and the second, 11% p.a. If the total interest at the end of one year is, 9% then the amount invested in each share was:

Rs. 52,500; Rs. 47,500
Rs. 62,500; Rs. 37,500
Rs. 72,500; Rs. 27,500
Rs. 82,500; Rs. 17,500

Solution:

Let the sum invested at 9% be Rs. X and that invested at 11% be Rs. (100000 – x)

Then, $\left(\frac{x \times 9 \times 1}{100}\right)+\left[\frac{(100000-x) \times 11 \times 1}{100}\right]=\left(100000 \times \frac{39}{4} \times \frac{1}{100}\right)$

⇒ $\Leftrightarrow \frac{9 x+1100000-11 x}{100}=\frac{39000}{4}=9750$

2x = (1100000-975000) = 125000 ox = 62500.

The sum invested at 9%= Rs. 62500. The sum invested at 1 1% = Rs. (100000- 62500) = Rs. 37500.

Question 33. David invested a certain amount in three different schemes A, B, and C with the rate of interest of 10 % p.a. 12% p.a., and 15% P.a. Respectively. If the total interest. Accrued in one year was Rs. 3200 and the amount invested in scheme C was 150% of the amount invested in scheme B.

Rs. 5000
Rs. 6500
Rs. 8000
Cannot be determined
None of these

Solution:

let x,y, and z be the amounts invested in schemes A, B, and C respectively. Then,

⇒ $\left(\frac{x \times 10 \times 1}{100}\right)+\left(\frac{y \times 12 \times 1}{100}\right)+\left(\frac{z \times 15 \times 1}{100}\right)=3200$

10x+12y+15z= 320000

Now, z=240% of y$=\frac{12}{5} y$

And,z= 150% of x$x=\frac{3}{2} x \Rightarrow x=\frac{2}{3} z=\left(\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{12}{5}\right) y=\frac{8}{5} y$

From (1), (2) and (3), we have

16y+ 12y + 36y= 320000 o 64y = 320000 ⇔y = 5000

Question 34. A person invested in all Rs. 2600 at 4%, 6%, and 8% per annum simple interest, and at the end of the year, he got the same interest in all three cases, the money invested at 4% is:

Rs. 200
Rs. 600
Rs. 800
Rs. 1200

Solution:

Let the parts be x, y, and [2600-(x + y)]. Then,

⇒ $\frac{x \times 4 \times 1}{100}=\frac{y \times 6 \times 1}{100}=\frac{[2600-(x+y)] \times 8 \times 1}{100}$

⇒ $\frac{y}{x}=\frac{4}{6}=\frac{2}{3} \text { or } y=\frac{2}{3} x$

⇒ $So, \frac{x \times 4 \times 1}{100}=\frac{\left(2600-\frac{5}{3} x\right) \times 8}{100}$

⇒ $\Rightarrow 4 x=\frac{(7800-5 x) \times 8}{3} \Leftrightarrow 52 x=(7800 \times 8) \Leftrightarrow x=\left(\frac{7800 \times 8}{52}\right)=1200 .$

Money invested at4%= Rs.1200

Question 35. Divide Rs. 2379 into 3 parts so that their amounts after 2, 3, and 4 years respectively may be equal, the rate of interest being 5% per annum at simple interest. The first part is:

Rs. 759
Rs. 792
Rs. 818
Rs. 828

Solution:

Let the parts be x, y and [2379 – (x +y)]

⇒ $\mathrm{X}+\left(x \times 2 \times \frac{5}{100}\right)=y+\left(y+3 \times \frac{5}{100}\right)=z+\left(z \times 4 \times \frac{5}{100}\right)$

⇒ $\Rightarrow \frac{11 x}{10}=\frac{23 y}{20}=\frac{6 \mathrm{z}}{5}=\mathrm{k} \quad \Rightarrow \quad \mathrm{x}=\frac{10 \mathrm{k}}{11}, \mathrm{y}=\frac{20 \mathrm{k}}{23}, \mathrm{z}=\frac{5 \mathrm{k}}{6}$

⇒ $ text { But } \mathrm{x}+\mathrm{y}+\mathrm{z}=2379 $

⇒ $ \Rightarrow \frac{10 \mathrm{k}}{11}+\frac{20 \mathrm{k}}{23}+\frac{5 \mathrm{k}}{6}=2379 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 1380 \mathrm{k}+1320 \mathrm{k}+1265 \mathrm{k}=2379 \times 11 \times 23 \times 6 $

⇒ $ \mathrm{k}=\frac{2379 \times 11 \times 23 \times 6}{3965}=\frac{3 \times 11 \times 23 \times 6}{5} $

⇒ $\mathrm{x}=\left(\frac{10}{11} \times \frac{3 \times 11 \times 23 \times 6}{5}\right)=828$

Hence, the first part is Rs. 828

How To Calculate Time Value Of Money In CA Foundation

Compound Interest

Compound Interest: Sometimes so happens that the born and the lender agree to fix up a certain unit of time, say yearly half-yearly, or quarterly to settle the previous accounts.

In such cases, the amount after the first unit of tone becomes the principal for the second unit, the amount after the second unit becomes the principal for the third unit, and So on.
After a specified period, the difference between the amount and the money borrowed is called the Compound Interest (abbreviated as C.l.) for that period.

Let Principal = P, Rate = R% per annum, Time = n years.

1. When interest is compound Annually:

Amount =$\mathrm{P}\left(1+\frac{R}{100}\right)^n$

2. When interest is compounded Half-yearly:

Amount = $P\left[1+\frac{(n / 2)}{100}\right]^{2 n}$

3. When interest is compounded Quarterly:

Amount =$\mathrm{P}\left[1+\frac{(R/ 4)}{100}\right]^{4 n}$

4. When interest is compounded Annually but time is in fraction, say $3 \frac{2}{5} \text { years. }$

Amount$=\mathrm{P}\left(1+\frac{R}{100}\right)^3 \times\left(1+\frac{\frac{2}{5} R}{100}\right)$

5. When Rates are different for different years, say R1%, R2%, R3% for 1st, 2nd and 3rd year respectively.

Then, Amount = $\mathrm{P}\left(1+\frac{R_1}{100}\right)\left(1+\frac{R_2}{100}\right)\left(1+\frac{R_3}{100}\right)$

6. Present worth of Rs. X due n years hence is given by:

Present Worth =$=\frac{x}{\left(1+\frac{R}{160}\right)^n} .$

CA Foundation Maths Solutions For Chapter 4 Effective Rate Of Interest

If interest is compounded more than once a year the effective interest rate for a year exceeds the per annum interest rate. Suppose you invest ₹1 0,000 for a year at the rate of 6% per annum compounded semi-annually. The effective interest rate for a year will be more than 6% per annum since interest is being compounded more than once a year. To compute the effective rate of interest first, we have to compute the interest. Let us compute the interest.

Interest for first six months = ₹10,000 ₹ 6/100 ₹ 6/12 = ₹300

Principal for calculation of interest for next six months

= Principal for first period one + Interest for first period

= ₹(10,000 + 300)

= ₹10,300

Interest for next six months = ₹ 10,300 x 6/100 x 6/12 =₹309

Total interest earned during the current year

= Interest for first six months + Interest for next six months

= ₹(300 + 309) = ₹ 609

The interest of ₹ 609 can also be computed directly from the formula or compound Interest, We can compute the effective rate of interest by following the formula

I = PEt

Where I = Amount of interest

E = Effective rate of interest in decimal

t = Period

P = Principal amount

Putting the values we have

609 = 10,000 x E x 1

⇒ $E=\frac{609}{10,000}$

= 0.0609 or

= 6.09%

Thus, if we compound the interest more than once a year effective interest rate for the year will be more than the actual interest rate per annum. But if interest is compounded annually effective interest rate for the year will be equal to the actual interest rate per annum.

So effective interest rate can be defined as the equivalent annual rate of interest compounded annually if interest is compounded more than once a year.

The effective interest rate can be computed directly by following the formula:

E = (1 + i)n – 1

Where E is the effective interest rate

i = actual interest rate in decimal

n = number of conversion period

CA Foundation Maths Solutions For Chapter 4 Effective Interest Rate Solved Examples

Question 1. Find compound interest on Rs. 7500 at 4% per annum for 2 years, compounded annually.
Solution:

⇒ $\text { Amount = Rs. }\left[7500 \times\left(1+\frac{4}{100}\right)^2\right]=\text { Rs. }\left(7500 \times \frac{26}{25} \times \frac{26}{25}\right)=\text { Rs. } 8112$

C.I. = Rs. (8112 – 7500) = Rs. 612.

Question 2. Find compound interest on Rs. 8000 at 15% per annum for 2 years 4 months, compounded annually.
Solution:

time = 2 years 4 months $=2 \frac{4}{12} \text { years }=2 \frac{1}{3} \text { years. }$

⇒ $\text { Amount }=\text { Rs. }\left[8000 \times\left(1+\frac{15}{100}\right)^2 \times\left(1+\frac{\frac{1}{3} \times 15}{100}\right)\right]=\text { Rs. }\left(8000 \times \frac{23}{20} \times \frac{23}{20} \times \frac{21}{20}\right)$

= Rs. 11109.

C.I. = Rs. (11109- 8000) = Rs.3109.

Question 3. Find the compound interest on Rs. 10000 in 2 years at 4% per annum, the interest being compounded half-yearly.
Solution:

Principal = Rs. 10000; Rate= 2% per half- year; time = 2 years = 4 half- years,

Amount=$\text { Rs. }\left[10000 \times\left(1+\frac{2}{100}\right)^4\right]=\text { Rs. }\left(10000 \times \frac{51}{50} \times \frac{51}{50} \times \frac{51}{50} \times \frac{51}{50}\right)$

Rs. 10824.32 C.I. = Rs. (10824-10000) = Rs. 824.32

Question 4. Find the compound Interest on It. 16000; it is 20% per annum for 0 months. Compounded quarterly.
Solution:

principal = Its. 16000; time = 9 months = 3 quarters;

Rate = 20 % per annum = 5% per quarter.

⇒ $\text { Amount = Rs. }\left[16000 \times\left(1+\frac{5}{100}\right)^3\right]=\text { Rs. }\left(16000 \times \frac{21}{20} \times \frac{21}{20} \times \frac{21}{20}\right)=\text { Rs. } 18522 .$

C.I. = Rs. (18522-16000) = Rs. 2522

Question 5. If the simple interest on a sum of money at 5% per annum for 3 years is Rs. 1200, find the compound interest on the same sum for the same period at the same rate.
Solution:

Clearly, Rate = 55 p.a., Time = 3 years, S.I. = Rs. 1200

So, principal = Rs.$\left(\frac{100 \times 1200}{3 \times 5}\right)=\text { Rs. } 8000 \text {. }$

⇒ $\text { Amount }=\text { Rs. }\left[8000\left(1 \times \frac{5}{100}\right)^3\right] \text { Rs. }\left(8000 \times \frac{21}{20} \times \frac{21}{20} \times \frac{21}{20}\right)=\text { Rs. } 9261 .$

C.I. = Rs. (9261-8000) – Rs. 1261

Question 6. At what time will Rs. 1000 become Rs. 1331 at 10% Per annum compounded annually?
Solution:

Principal = Rs. 1000; Amount = Rs.1331;

Rate= 10 %p.a.

Let the time be N years then,

⇒ $\left[1000 \times\left(1+\frac{10}{100}\right)^n\right]=1331 \text { or }\left(\frac{11}{10}\right)^n=\left(\frac{1331}{1000}\right)=\left(\frac{11}{10}\right)^3$

n =3 years.

Question 7. If Rs. 500 amounts to Rs. 583.20 in two years compounded annually find the rate of interest per annum.
Solution:

principal = Rs. 500; Amount =Rs. 583.20; Time = 2 years.;

Let the rate be R% per annum, then

⇒ ${\left[500 \times\left(1+\frac{R}{100}\right)^2\right]=583.20 \text { or }\left(1+\frac{R}{100}\right)^2=\left(\frac{5832}{5000}\right)=\left(\frac{11664}{10000}\right)}$

⇒ $\left(1+\frac{R}{100}\right)^2=\left(\frac{108}{100}\right)^2 \text { or } 1+\frac{R}{100}=\frac{108}{100} \text { or } R=8$

So, rate= 8% p.a.

Question 8. If the compound interest on a certain sum at 16% for 3 years is Rs. 1270 find the simple interest on the same sum at the same rate and for the same period.
Solution:

Let the sum be Rs. X. Then,

⇒ $\text { C.I. }=\left[x \times\left(1+\frac{50}{3 \times 100}\right)^3-x\right]=\left(\frac{343 x}{216}-x\right)=\frac{127 x}{216} $

⇒ $ \frac{127 x}{216}=1270 \text { or } \mathrm{x}=\frac{1270 \times 216}{127}=2160$

Thus, the sum is Rs 2160.

⇒ $\text { S.I. }=\text { Rs. }\left(2160 \times \frac{50}{3} \times 3 \times \frac{1}{100}\right)=\text { Rs. } 1080$

Question 9. The difference between compound interest and simple interest on a certain sum at 10% per annum for 2 years is Rs. 631. Find the sum.
Solution:

Let the sum be Rs. X. Then,

⇒ $\text { C.I. }=x\left(1+\frac{10}{100}\right)^2-x=\frac{21 . x}{100}, S . I .=\left(\frac{x \times 10 \times 2}{100}\right)=\frac{x}{5}$

⇒ $(\text { C. I. })-(\text { S. I. })=\left(\frac{21 \mathrm{x}}{100}-\frac{x}{5}\right)=\frac{\mathrm{x}}{100}$

⇒ $\frac{\mathrm{x}}{100}=631 \Leftrightarrow \mathrm{X}=63100 .$

Hence, the sum is Rs.63,100.

Question 10. Divide Rs. 1301 between A and X, so that the amount of A after 7 years is equal to the amount of B after 9 years, the interest being compounded at 4% per annum.
Solution:

Let the two parts be Rs. X and Rs. (1301- x)

C.I=$x\left(1+\frac{4}{100}\right)^7=(1301-x)\left(1+\frac{4}{100}\right)^9 \Leftrightarrow\left(\frac{26}{25} \times \frac{26}{25}\right)$

⇒ $\Leftrightarrow 625 x=676(1301-x) \Leftrightarrow 1301 x=676 \times 1301 \Leftrightarrow x=676$

So, the two parts are Rs. 676 and Rs. (1301-676) i.e. Rs. 676 and Rs. 625.

Question 11. A certain sum amounts to Rs. 7350 in 2 years and to Rs. 8575 in 3 years. Find the sum and rate present.
Solution:

S.I. on Rs. 7350 for 1 year Rs. (8575- 7350)= Rs. 1225.

⇒ $\text { Rate }=\left(\frac{100 \times 1225}{7350 \times 1}\right) \%=16 \frac{2}{3} \%$

Let the sum be Rs. x then,

⇒ $X\left(1+\frac{50}{3 \times 100}\right)^2=7350 \Leftrightarrow x \times \frac{7}{6} \times \frac{7}{6}=7350 \Leftrightarrow x=\left(7350 \times \frac{36}{49}\right)=5400$

⇒ $\text { sum }=\text { Rs. } 5400$

Question 12. A sum of money amounts to Rs. 6690 after 3 years and to RS. 10035 after 6 years on compound interest find the sum.
Solution:

Let the sum be Rs. P. then,

⇒ $\mathrm{P}\left(1+\frac{R}{100}\right)^3=6690 \quad \ldots \text { (1) } \quad \text { and } \mathrm{P}\left(1+\frac{R}{100}\right)^6=10035$

On dividing, we get$\left(1+\frac{R}{100}\right)^3=\frac{10035}{6690}=\frac{3}{2}$

Substituting this value in (i) we get :

⇒ $P \times \frac{3}{2}=6690 \text { or } P=\left(6690 \times \frac{2}{3}\right)=4460$

Hence, the sum is Rs. 4460

Question 13. A sum of money doubles itself at compound interest in 15 years, in how many years will it become eight times?
Solution:

⇒ $ \mathrm{P}\left(1+\frac{R}{100}\right)^{15}=2 P \quad \Rightarrow\left(1+\frac{R}{100}\right)^{15}=\frac{2 P}{P}=2$

Let$\mathrm{P}\left(1+\frac{R}{100}\right)^n=8 P \Rightarrow\left(1+\frac{R}{100}\right)^n=8=2^3=\left\{\left(1+\frac{R}{100}\right)^{15}\right\}^3[uning (i) ]$

⇒ $\Rightarrow\left(1+\frac{R}{100}\right)^n=\left(1+\frac{n}{100}\right)^{45} \Rightarrow n=45$

Tints, the required time = 45 years.

Question 14. What annual payment will discharge a debt of Rs. 7620 due in 3 years at $16 \frac{2}{3} \%$ per annum compound interest?
Solution:

let each installment be Rs. X then,

(P.W. of Rs. X due 1 year hence) + (P.W. of Rs. X due 2 years hence) + (P.W. of Rs. X due 3 years hence) = 7620.

⇒ $\frac{x}{\left(1+\frac{50}{3 \times 100}\right)}+\frac{x}{\left(1+\frac{50}{3 \times 100}\right)^2}+\frac{x}{\left(1+\frac{50}{3 \times 100}\right)^3}=7620$

⇒ $\Leftrightarrow \frac{6 x}{7}+\frac{36 x}{49}+\frac{216 x}{343}=7620 \Leftrightarrow 294 x+252 x+216 x=7620 \times 343$

⇒ $\Leftrightarrow X=\left(\frac{7620 \times 343}{762}\right)=3430 $

Amount of each instalment= Rs. 3430

Question 15.₹5,000 is invested in a Term Deposit Scheme that fetches interest of 6% per annum compounded quarterly. What will be the interest after one year? What is the effective rate of interest?
Solution:

We know that

I = P [(1 + i)n- 1]

Here P = ₹ 5,000

i = 6% p.a. = 0.06 p.a. or 0.015 per quarter

n = 4

and I = amount of compound interest

putting the values, we have

I = ₹ 5,000 [(1 + 0.015)4 — 1]

= ₹ 5,000 x 0.06136355

= ₹ 306.82

For the effective rate of interest using, I = PEt we find

306.82 = 5,000 x E x 1.

306.82

5000

= 0.0613 or 6.13%

Note: We may arrive at the same result by using

E = (1+i)4 – 1

E = (1 + 0.015)4-1

= 1.0613-1

= 0613 or6.13%

We may also note that the effective rate of interest is not related to the amount of principal. It is related to the interest rate and frequency of compounding the interest.

Question 16. Find the amount of compound interest and effective rate of interest if an amount of ₹20,000 is deposited in a bank for one year at the rate of 8% per annum compounded semi-annually.
Solution:

We know that

1 = P [(1 + i)n- 1]

Here P = ₹20,000

i = 8% p.n. = 8/2 % semi-annually = 0.04

n = 2

I = ₹20,000 IO + 0.04)2- 1 1

= ₹20,000 x 0.08 16

= ₹1,632

The effective rate of interest:

We know that

I = PEt

1,632 = 20,000 x E x 1

⇒ $E=\frac{1632}{20000}$ = =0.0816

= 8.16%

The effective rate of interest can also be computed by following the formula

E = (1 + i)n -1

= (1 + 0.04)2-1

= 0.0816 or 8.16%

Question 17. Which is a better investment 3% per year compounded monthly or 3.2% per year simple interest? Given that (1+0.0025) ‘2 =1.0304.
Solution:

i = 3/12 = 0.25% = 0.0025

= 12

= (1 + i)n -1

= (1 + 0.0025)12 -1

= 1.0304-1 = 0.0304

= 3.04%

With the effective rate of interest (E) being less than 3.2%, the simple interest of 3.2% per year is the better investment.

Question 55. If Rs. 1,000 is invested at an interest rate of 5% and the interest is added to the principle every 10 years, then the number of years in which it will amount to Rs. 2,000 is:

$16 \frac{2}{3}$
$6 \frac{1}{4}$
$16 years$
$6 \frac{2}{3}$

Solution:

(1)

Interest is added to the principal every 10 years.

So within 10 years; simple interest will apply.

So, the amount after 10 years

⇒ $=1000+1000 \times \frac{10 \times 5}{100}=R s .1500 \text {. }$

Total amount = Rs. 2000

Extra interest needed = 2000 – 1500 =Rs. 500

⇒ $\text { Time }=\frac{500 \times 100}{1500 \times 5}=\frac{20}{3}=6 \frac{2}{3} \mathrm{yrs} .$

⇒ $\text { So; Total time }=10+6 \frac{2}{3}=16 \frac{2}{3} \mathrm{yrs} .$

Question 56. If an amount is kept at S.I it earns an interest of Rs 600 in the first two years but when kept at the compound interest it earns an interest of Rs. 660 for the same period, then the rate of interest and principal amount respectively are:

20%, Rs. 1,200
20%, Rs. 1,500
10%, Rs. 1,200
10%, Rs. 1.500

Solution:

(2)

⇒ $\text { S.I }=\frac{1200 \times 2 \times 20}{100}=480 \neq 600$

So; (1) is false.

⇒ $S. I=\frac{1500 \times 2 \times 20}{100}=R s .600$

C.I = (-1500+20%+20%) (button)

= 660.

So; (b) is true.

CA Foundation Maths Solutions For Chapter 4 Annuity

Annuity Definition:

A sequence of payments, generally equal In size, made at equal intervals of time is called an annuity.

Monthly Rent; premiums of LIC; deposit into a recurring account in a bank; equal monthly payments got by a retired government servant as pension and loan installments to houses or automobiles etc.

Some Terms Related With Annuities

Periodic Payment: The size of each payment of an annuity is called the periodic payment of the annuity.
Annual Rent: The sum of all payments of an annuity made in one year is called its annual rent.
Payment Period or Interval: The duration between two successive payments of an annuity is called the payment period (or payment interval) of the annuity
Term: The total duration from the beginning time of the first payment period to the end of the last payment period is called the term of the annuity.
Present value of an Annuity: The sum of the present values of all the payments of an annuity is called the present value or capital value of the annuity.

Annuity regular and Annuity due or immediate

The annuity may be of two types:

Annuity regular: In an annuity, a regular first payment or receipt takes place at the end of the first period. Consider the following table:

Annuity Due or Annuity Immediate: When the first receipt or payment is made today (at the beginning of the annuity) it is called annuity due or annuity immediate. Consider the following table:

Annuity Regular Or Annuity Ordinary – Formulae

To Find Future Value Amount

⇒ $S=A\left[\frac{(1+i)^n-1}{r}\right] \times 100 \mathrm{~m} .$

Where S = Amount of an Annuity

A = Value of each installment

R = rate of interest

M = No. of conversion periods in a year

N = m.t = No. of in statements made in t yrs.

⇒ $\mathrm{i}=\frac{r}{100 \mathrm{~m}}$ = Rate of interest of one conversion Period

To find the Present Value for an Ordinary Annuity

PV = Present value $=\mathrm{A}\left[\frac{1-(1+i)^{-n}}{i}\right]$

Annuity Immediate Or Due – Formulae

To find the Future Value Amount

FV = Amount s = $\mathrm{A}\left[\left\{\frac{(1+i)^{n+1}-1}{r}\right\} \times 100 m-1\right]$

Present value of annuity due or annuity immediate Present value of annuity due or immediate for n years is the same as an annuity regular for (n – 1] years plus an initial receipt or payment at the beginning of the period.

Calculating the present value of the annuity due involves two steps.

Step 1: Compute the present value of the annuity as if it were an annuity regular for one period short.

Step 2: Add the initial cash payment or receipt to the Step 1 value.

CA Foundation Maths Solutions For Chapter 4 Sinking Fund

It is the fund credited for a specified purpose by way of a sequence of periodic payments over some time at a specified interest rate. Interest is compounded at the end of every period. The size of the sinking fund deposit is computed from A = P.A(n, i) where A is the amount to be saved, P is the periodic payment, and n is the payment period.

Solved Example

Question 1. How much amount is required to be invested every year to accumulate ₹300000 at the end of 10 years if interest is compounded annually at 10%?
Solution:

Here A = 3,00,000

n = 10

i = 0.1

Since A = P.A (n, i)

300000 = P.A.(10, 0.1)

= P x 15.9374248

⇒ $\mathrm{P} \quad=\frac{3,00,000}{15.9374248}=₹ 18,823.62$

This value can also be calculated by the formula of the future value of annuity regular. We know that

⇒ $ A(n \text { i }) =A\left[\frac{(1+i)^n-1}{i}\right]$

⇒ $ 300000 =A\left[\frac{(1+0.1)^{10}-1}{0.1}\right] $

300000= A x 15.9374248

⇒ $\text { A } \quad=\frac{3.00,000}{15.9374248}=₹ 18,823.62$

CA Foundation Maths Solutions For Chapter 4 Leasing

Leasing is a financial arrangement uniter which the owner of the asset (lessor) allows the user of the asset (lessee) to use the asset for a defined period (lease period) for a consideration (lease rental) payable over a given period, This is a kind of taking an asset on rent.

Solved Examples:

Question 1. ABC Ltd. wants to lease out an asset costing ₹3,60,000 for five years. It has fixed a rental of ₹1,05,000 per annum payable annually starting from the end of the first year, Suppose the rate of interest is 14% per annum compounded annually on which money can be invested by the company. Is this agreement favorable to the company?
Solution:

First, we have to compute the present value of the annuity of ₹1,05,000 for five years at the interest rate of 14% p.a. compounded annually.

The present value V of the annuity is given by

V = A.P (n, i)

= 1,05,000 xP(5, 0.14)

= 1,0,5000 x 3.43308 = ₹3,60,473.40

which is greater than the initial cost of the asset and consequently leasing is favourable to the lessor.

Question 2. A company is considering the proposal of purchasing a machine either by making a full payment of ₹4,000 or by leasing it for four years at an annual rate of ₹1,250. Which course of action is preferable if the company can borrow money at 14% compounded annually?
Solution:

The present value V of the annuity is given by

= A.P (n, i)

= 1,250 x p (4, 0.14)

= 1,250 x 2.91 371 = ₹3,642.11

which is less than the purchase price and consequently leasing is preferable

CA Foundation Maths Solutions For Chapter 4 Capital Expenditure (investment decision)

Capital expenditure means purchasing an asset (which results in outflows of money) today in anticipation of benefits (cash inflow) that would flow across the life of the investment. For making investment decisions we compare the present value of cash outflow and the present value of cash inflows. If the present value of cash inflows is greater than the present value of cash outflows decision should be in favor of investment. Let us see how we make capital expenditure (investment) decisions.

Solved Examples:

Question 1. A machine can be purchased for ₹50000. The machine will contribute ₹12000 per year for the next five years. Assume borrowing cost is 10% per annum compounded annually. Determine whether the machine should be purchased or not.
Solution:

The present value of annual contribution

= A.P(n, i)

= 12,000 x P(5, 0.10)

= 12,000 x 3.79079

= ₹45,489.48

which is less than the initial cost of the machine. Therefore machine must not be purchased.

Question 2. A machine with a selling life of seven years costs f1 0,000 while another machine with a useful life of live years costs (111,001). The first machine saves labor expenses of ₹1,900 annually and the second one saves labor expenses of ₹2,200 annually. Determine the preferred course of action. Assume the cost of borrowing as 10% compounded per annum.
Solution:

The present value of annual cost savings for the first machine

= ₹1,900 KP (7, 0.10)

= ₹ 1,900 ⇔ 4.86842

= ₹9,249.99

= ₹9,250

The cost of the machine being ₹10,000 it costs more by ₹750 than it saves in terms of labour cost.

The present value of annual cost savings of the second machine

= ₹2,200 xP(5, 0.10)

= ₹2,200 x 3.79079

= ₹8,339.74

The cost of the second machine is ₹8,000 effective savings in labor cost is ₹339.74. Hence the second machine is preferable.

CA Foundation Maths Solutions For Chapter 4 Valuation Of Bond

A bond is a debt security in which the issuer owes the holder a debt and is obliged to repay the principal and interest. Bonds are generally issued for a fixed term longer than one year.

Solved Example

Question 1. An investor intends to purchase a three-year ₹1,000 par value bond having a nominal interest rate of 10%. At what price the bond may be purchased now if it matures at par and the investor requires a rate of return of 14%?
Solution:

Present value of the bond

⇒ $=\frac{100}{(1+0.14)^1}+\frac{100}{(1+0.14)^2}+\frac{100}{(1+0.14)^3}+\frac{1,000}{(1+0.14)^3}$

= 100 x 0.87719 + 100 x 0.769467 + 100 x 0.674 972 + 1,000 x 0.674972

= 87.719+ 76.947+ 67.497+ 674.972 = ₹907.125

Thus, the purchase value of the bond is ₹907.125

CA Foundation Maths Solutions For Chapter 4 Perpetuity

Perpetuity is an annuity in which the periodic payments or receipts begin on a fixed date and continue indefinitely or perpetually. Fixed coupon payments on permanently invested (irredeemable) sums of money are prime examples of perpetuities.

Solved Example

Question 1. Ramesh wants to retire and receive ₹3,000 a month. He wants to pass this monthly payment to future generations after his death. He can earn an interest of 8% compounded annually. How much will he need to set aside to achieve his perpetuity goal?
Solution:

R = ₹3,000

i = 0.08/12 or 0.00667

Substituting these values in the above formula, we get

⇒ PVA =$\frac{3,000}{0.00667}$

= ₹ 4,49,775

If he wanted the payments to start today, he must Increase the size of the funds to handle the first payment. This is achieved by depositing H52,775 of normal perpetuity received in the beginning = 4,49,775 + 3,000 which provides the immediate payment of ₹3,000 and leaves ₹4,49,775 in the fund to provide the future ₹3,000 payments.

CA Foundation Maths Solutions For Chapter 4 Growing Perpetuity

A stream of cash flows that grow at a constant rate forever is known as growing perpetuity.

The formula for determining the present value of growing perpetuity is as follows:

⇒ $\text { PVA }=\frac{R}{(1+i)^1}+\frac{R(1+g)}{(1+i)^2}+\frac{R(1+g)^2}{(1+i)^3}+\ldots \ldots \ldots . . .+\frac{R(1+g)^{\infty}}{(1+i)^{\infty}}$

⇒ $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{R(1+g)^{n-1}}{(1+i)^n}$

⇒ $=\frac{R}{i-g}$

Solved Example:

Question 1. Assuming that the discount rate is 7% per annum, how much would you pay to receive ₹50, growing at 5%, annually, forever?
Solution:

⇒ $\text { PVA }=\frac{R}{i-g}=\frac{50}{0.07-0.05}=2,500$

Net Present Value Technique (NPV):

The net present value technique is a discounted cash flow method that considers the time value of money in evaluating capital investments. An investment has cash flows throughout its life, and it is assumed that a rupee of cash flow in the early years of an investment is worth more than a rupee of cash flow in a later year.

The net present value method uses a specified discount rate to bring all subsequent net cash inflows after the initial investment to their present values (the time of the initial investment is year 0).

CA Foundation Maths Solutions For Chapter 4 Determining Discount Rate

Theoretically, the discount rate or desired rate of return on an investment is the rate of return the firm would have earned by investing the same funds in the best available alternative investment that has the same risk.

Many organizations choose to use the overall cost of capital or Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) that an organization has incurred in raising funds or expects to incur in raising the funds needed for an investment.

The net present value of a project is the amount, in current value of rupees, the investment earns after paying the cost of capital in each period.

Net Present Value

Net present value = Present value of cash inflow – Present value of cash outflow

The steps to calculating net present value are:
Determine the net cash inflow in each year of the investment.
Select the desired rate of return discounting rate or Weighted Average Cost of capital.
Find the discount factor for each year based on the desired rate of return selected.
Determine the present values of the net cash flows by multiplying the cash flows by respective the discount factors of the respective period called the Present Value (PV) of Cash flows
Total the amounts of all PVs of Cash Flows

Decision Rule:

If NPV > 0 Accept the proposal.

lf NPV > 0 Reject the proposal

Solved Example:

Question 1. Compute the net present value for n pro|cct with n not Invoslment of 1,00,000 and cash flows year one Is ₹55,000; for year two Is ₹80,000 and for year three Is 15,000. Further, the company’s cost of capital Is 10%.

|PVIF @ 10% for three years are 0.909, 0.020 and 0.751 |

Solution:

CA Foundation Maths Solutions For Chapter 4 Nominal Rate of Return

The nominal rate is the stated interest rate. If a bank pays 5% annually on a savings account, then 5% is the nominal interest rate. So, if you deposit n00 for 1 year, you will receive in interest.

However, that will probably be worth less at the end of the year than it would have been at the beginning. This is because inflation lowers the value of money.

Nominal Rate of Return – Inflation = Real Rate of Return

Real Rate of Return:

The real interest rate is so named because it states the “real” rate that the lender or investor receives after inflation is factored in; that is, the interest rate that exceeds the inflation rate.

Nominal Interest Rate = Real Interest Rate + Inflation

CA Foundation Maths Solutions For Chapter 4 Effective Rate

It is the actual equivalent annual rate of interest at which an investment grows in value when interest is credited more often than once a year. If interest is paid m times in a year it can be found by calculating:

⇒ $\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{i}}=\left(1+\frac{i}{m}\right)^m-1$

The chief advantage of knowing the difference between nominal, real, and effective rates is that it allows consumers to make better decisions about their loans and investments. A loan with frequent compounding periods will be more expensive than one that compounds annually.

Effective and nominal interest rates allow banks to use the number that looks most advantageous to the consumer. When banks are charging interest, they advertise the nominal rate, which is lower and does not reflect how much interest the consumer would owe on the balance after a full year of compounding. On the other hand, with deposit accounts where banks are paying interest, they generally advertise the effective rate because it is higher than the nominal rate.

CA Foundation Maths Solutions For Chapter 4 Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR)

Compounded Aiuuml Growth Knlc (CAGR) is an IHISIIIORR mill Inverting specific terms for the smoothed in a mulled gain of mi Investnu it over; I gave time. Is not my accounting I r-rin, 1ml remains widely used, particularly in growth Industries or to compare the growth rates of two investments because CAGR dampens the effect or volatility of periodic returns that can render arithmetic means irrelevant. CAGR is often used to describe the growth over some time of some element of the business, for example, revenue, units delivered, registered users, etc.

⇒ ${CAGR}\left(t_0, t_{11}\right)=\left(\frac{V\left(t_n\right)}{V\left(t_0\right)}\right)^{\frac{1}{t_{01-}-t_0}}-1$

Where V(to) = Beginning Period ; V (tn) = End Period

Solved Example:

Question 1. Suppose the revenues of a company for four years, V(t) in the above formula, have been

Calculate Compound Annual Growth Rate.

Applications: These are some of the common CAGR applications:

Calculating average returns of investment funds.
Demonstrating and comparing the performance of investment advisors.
Comparing the historical returns of stocks with bonds or with a savings account.
Forecasting future values based on the CAGR of a data series.
Analyzing and communicating the behavior, over a series of years, of different business measures such as sales, market share, costs, customer satisfaction, and performance.

CA Foundation Maths Solutions For Chapter 1 Ratio And Proportion

Ratio Formulas

The ratio of two quantities a and b in the same units, is the fraction £ and we write it as a: b.
In the ratio a: b, we call “an as the first term or antecedent” and “b, the second term or consequent”.
1. Example: The ratio 5: 9 represents with antecedent = 5, consequent = 9.
The multiplication or division of each ratio term by the same non-zero number does not affect the ratio.
1. Example: 4: 5 = 8: 10 = 12: 15 etc. Also, 4: 6 = 2 : 3 i.e. normally a ratio is expressed in simplest form.
The order of the terms in a ratio must be maintained because 3: 5 is not the same as 5 : 3.
Ratio exists only with quantities that have the same unit (kind).
Equality, Greater Equality, and Lesser Equality
- If x > y, then the ratio x: y is called of greater inequality.
- If x < y, then the ratio x: y is called of lesser inequality.
- If x = y, then the ratio a: b is called the ratio of Equal Equality.
Comparison of ratios:
1. We say that (a : b) > (c: d) $\frac{a}{b}>\frac{c}{d^{\prime}}$
2. Compounded Ratio: The compounded ratio of the ratios (a: b), (c : d), (e: f) is ace: pdf.
Duplicate ratio of (a: b)is (a2: b2).
- Sub-duplicate ratio of (a: b) is $(\sqrt{a}: \sqrt{b}).$
- The triplicate ratio of (a: b) is (a3: b3).
- The sub-triplicate ratio of (a: b) is (a1/3: b1/3).
- If $\frac{a}{b}=\frac{c}{d^{\prime}} \text { then } \frac{a+b}{b-b}=\frac{c+d}{c-d^{\prime}}$ (componendo and dividendo)
The inverse ratio of x y is y x.
Commensurable: If the terms of the ratio are integers, the ratio is called commensurable.
Answer: 3: 2
Incommensurable: If the terms of the ratio are not integers, the ratio is called
Incommensurable.
Answer:√3: √2 cannot be expressed in terms of integers. So, it is Incommensurable.

CA Foundation Maths Solutions For Chapter 1 Proportion:

1. The equality of two ratios is called Proportion.

If a: b = c: d, we write, a: b:: c: cl and say that a, b, c, d are in Proportion.

A and d are called extremes, while b and c are called mean terms.

2. Product of means = Product of extremes. This rule is also known as Cross – Product Rule

Thus, a: b: : c: d = (b x c) = (a x d).

3. (1). Fourth Proportional: If a b = c: d, then d is called the fourth proportional to a, b, c.

(2). Third Proportional: If a b = b; c, then c is called the third proportional to a and b.

(3). Mean Proportional: MThe mean proportional between a and b is fab.

4. Properties of Proportion

Cross – Product

If a:b::c:d. $\frac{a}{b}=\frac{c}{d}\mathrm{ad}=\mathrm{bc} .$

Invertendo

If a : b: : c: d.; Then its inverse

b : a: : d: c also becomes in proportion.

If $\frac{a}{b}=\frac{c}{d} \quad \text { Then, } \frac{b}{a}=\frac{a}{c} \text {. }$

Componendo

If a : b: : c: d.

Then a + b:b::c + d:d.

Proof: $\frac{a}{b}+1=\frac{c}{d}+1 \Rightarrow \frac{a+b}{b}=\frac{c+d}{d}$

Dividendo

If a : b = c: d.

Then a-b:b = c-d:d.

Proof:$\frac{a}{b}=\frac{c}{d} \Rightarrow \frac{a}{b}-1=\frac{c}{d}-1$ Or $\frac{a-b}{b}=\frac{c-d}{d }$

Componendo and Dividendo

If a : b : : c : d.; Dividing [3) by (4)

Then $\frac{a+b}{a-b}=\frac{c+d}{c-d}$

Alternendo

Ifa : b: : c : d.

Then a : c:: b : d.

Therefore ratio of alternatives is also in proportion.

Addendum

If a:b = c:d = e:f= $\text { Then each ratio }=\frac{\text { Sum of antecedents of all ratios }}{\text { Sum of consequents of all ratios }}$

⇒ $\frac{a}{b}=\frac{c}{d}=\frac{e}{f}=\ldots \ldots \ldots \ldots . .=\frac{a+c+e+\cdots \ldots . ..}{b+d+f+\cdots \ldots .}$

Subtrahendo

If $\frac{a}{b}=\frac{c}{d}=\frac{e}{f}=\ldots \ldots \ldots \ldots \ldots$

Then each ratio

⇒ $=\frac{a}{b}=\frac{c}{d}=\frac{e}{f}=\ldots \ldots \ldots \ldots=\frac{a-c-e-\cdots}{b-d-f-…}$

Let $ x: \frac{1}{27}:: \frac{1}{11}: \frac{5}{9}$

Then $x \times \frac{5}{9}=\frac{1}{27} \times \frac{3}{11} \Leftrightarrow x=\left(\frac{1}{27} \times \frac{3}{11} \times \frac{9}{5}\right)=\frac{1}{55} .$

Question 14. A sum of Rs. 1300 is divided amongst P, Q, R and S such that Then, $\frac{p^{\prime} \text { share }}{Q^{\prime} s \text { share }}=\frac{p^{\prime} \text { share }}{\text { Rsshare }}=\frac{R^{\prime} \text { share }}{S^{\prime} \text { share }}=\frac{2}{3} \text {. }$ P’s share is :

Rs. 140
Rs. 160
Rs. 240
Rs. 320

Solution:

Let P = 2x and Q = 3x. Then $\frac{19}{1}=\frac{2}{3} \Rightarrow R=\frac{3}{2}Q=\left(\frac{3}{2} \times 3 x\right)=\frac{1 x}{2} .$

⇒ $Also, \frac{R}{S}=\frac{2}{3} \Rightarrow S=\frac{3}{2} R=\left(\frac{3}{2} \times \frac{9 x}{2}\right)=\frac{27 x}{1}$

Thus, $\mathrm{P}=2 \mathrm{x}, \mathrm{Q}=3 \mathrm{x}, \mathrm{R}=\frac{9 \mathrm{x}}{2}$ and $\mathrm{S}=\frac{27 \mathrm{x}}{4}$.

⇒ P+(Q+R+S= & 1300 $\Leftrightarrow\left(2 x+3 x+\frac{9 x}{2}+\frac{27 x}{3}\right)=1300 $

⇒ $\Leftrightarrow(8 x+12 x+18 x+27 x)=5200$

⇒ $\Leftrightarrow 65 x=5200 \Leftrightarrow x=\frac{5200}{65}=80 $

P’s share = Rs. (2 * 80) = Rs, 1 60

Question 39. The cost of manufacturing a circular cast from the plate is directly proportional to the square root of its diameter. A 24 cm (diameter) plate casts Rs. 346. How much more or less will it cost to many facture 2 plates with diameters 1 8 cm and 8cm?

Rs.143 more
Rs.l53.41 more
Rs.282.31 more
Rs.282.3l less
Rs.l82.3 less

Solution:

Cost is proportional to the square root of the diameter.

Cost=k

xÿ/diameter, Where k is a constant of proportionality

The cost of a plate with 24 cm diameter=k√24 =2k √6

Similarly, the cost of the plate with 18 cm diameter=k√l8 = 3k√2

And the cost of a plate with 8 cm diameter = k V8 = 2k√2

The cost of an 18 cm and 8cm plate = 31<√2 + 2/c√2 =Rs.5k√2

Let the cost of the 18 cm and 8cm plates put together be x.

⇒ $346: \mathrm{x}:: 2 \mathrm{k} \sqrt{6}: 5 \mathrm{k} \sqrt{2}\mathrm{x}=\frac{(346 \times 5 \sqrt{2})}{2 \sqrt{6}}=\frac{346 \times 5}{2 \sqrt{3}}=\frac{173 \times 5}{\sqrt{3}} \approx \frac{173 \times 5}{1.73} \approx 500$

$1 \text { or } \frac{-1}{2}$

Solution:

⇒ $\text { If } \frac{a}{b}=\frac{c}{d}=\frac{e}{f}=k \text {, }$

⇒ $\text { Then } \frac{a+c+e}{b+d+f}=k$

Using this property, add the numerators and denominators to get,$r=\frac{x+y+z}{x+y+z}=1$

Similarly, if we subtract the denominators and numerators of the first two ratios, you get$r^{\prime}=\frac{x-y}{(y+z-x)-(z+x-y)}=\frac{x-y}{2(y-x)}=\frac{-1}{2}$ r can take the values 1 and -1/2. Hence, option d

Question 41. A precious stone is accidentally broken into 2 pieces whose weights are in the ratio 4;5 the value of the stone is directly proportional to the square of its weight. What is the ratio of the total value of the original (unbroken) stone to the total value of the broken pieces?

Concepts And Tricks To Remember

1. Laws Of Indices:

a^m x an= a^m+n
$\frac{a^m}{a^n}=a^m-n$
(a^m)ⁿ= a^mn
(ab)ⁿ = aⁿbⁿ
$\left(\frac{a}{b}\right)^n=\frac{a^n}{b^n}$
a° = 1

2. Surds: Let a be a rational number and n be a positive integer such that $a^{\frac{1}{n}}=\sqrt[n]{a}$ is irrational. Then, $\sqrt[n]{a}$ is called a surd of order n.

3. Laws Of Surds:

$\sqrt[n]{a}=a^{\frac{1}{n}}$
$\sqrt[n]{a b}=\sqrt[n]{a} \times \sqrt[n]{b}$
$\sqrt[n]{\frac{a}{b}+\sqrt[n]{a}} \sqrt[n]{b}$
$(\sqrt[n]{a})^n=a$
$\sqrt[m]{\sqrt[n]{a}}=\sqrt[m n]{a}$
$(\sqrt[n]{a})^m \cdot \sqrt[n]{a^m}.$

Some Related Formulae.

a^m = a x a x a x to m times.
a^e = 1 where a ≠ 0; or ∞
$a^{-1}=\frac{1}{a}$
$a^{-m}=\frac{1}{a^m}$
a^m x aⁿ = a^m+n
- amx a^m x aⁿ x a^r…..=a^m+n+r+
$\frac{a^m}{a^n}=a^{m-n}$
- $\frac{a^m}{a^n}=\frac{1}{a^{n-m}}$
(a^m)ⁿ = a^mn
- a^mn= a^m-n
If a^m = b^m then a=b
- if a^m = aⁿ then m = n
$\sqrt[m]{a^n}=a^{\frac{n}{m}}$
- $\sqrt{a}=a^{\frac{1}{2}}$
- $\sqrt[3]{a}=a^{\frac{1}{3}}$
$\text { if } a^m=k \Rightarrow a=k^{1 / m}$
- $\text { if } a^m=k^n \Rightarrow a=k^{m / m}$
- $\text { If } a^{1 / m}=k \Rightarrow a=k^m $
$\text { if } a^{1 / m}=k^n \Rightarrow a=k^{m / m}$
- $\left(\frac{a}{b}\right)^m=\frac{a^m}{b^m}$
$(a b \ldots)^m=a^m \cdot b^m$
- $\sqrt[m]{a b \ldots \ldots \ldots \ldots}=\sqrt[m]{a} \cdot \sqrt[m]{b}\qquad$
$\sqrt{a b}=\sqrt{a} \cdot \sqrt{b}.$
$\left(\frac{a}{b}\right)^m=\left(\frac{b}{a}\right)^{-m}$
If a^b = b² then

Either a = b

Or if a = 2

Then b=4

or if a = 4

Then b = 2

If a > 1 and x < y Then ax < ay

CA Foundation Maths Solutions For Chapter 1 Logarithms

Concepts and Tricks to Remember

1. Logarithm: If a is a positive real number, other than 1 and a'” = x, then we write: m = loga x and say that the value of log x to the base a is m.

Example:

103 = 1000⇔log₁₀ 1000 = 3.

34 = 81 ⇔log₃ 81 = 4

2-3=$\frac{1}{8}$ « log2 =$\frac{1}{8}=-3$

(1)2 = .01 ⇔ log₍₁₀₎0.1 = 2.

2. Properties of Logarithms:

Loga (xy] = log_a X + log_a y

loga$\left(\frac{x}{y}\right)$ = logan-gay

log_a x — 1

Log_a 1 = 0

log_a (xp) = p (log_a x)

log_a X = $\frac{1}{\log _x a}$

log_a X = $\frac{\log _a x}{\log _b a}=\frac{\log _a x}{\log _a a}$

3. Common Logarithms: Logarithms to the base 10 are known as common logarithms. When the base is not mentioned, it is taken as 10.

4. The logarithm of a number contains two parts, namely characteristic and mantissa.

Characteristic: The integral part of the logarithm of a number is called its characteristic.

Case I: When the number is greater than 1.

In this case, the characteristic is one less than the number of digits on the left of the decimal point in the given number.

Case 2: When the number is less than 1.

In this case, the characteristic is one more than the number of zeros between the decimal point and, which is negative.

Instead of -1,-2, etc. We write 1(one bar), 2(two bar)etc.

Example:

Mantissa: The decimal part of the logarithm of a number is known as its mantissa.

For Mantissa, we look through the log table.

Some more tricks and formulae:

1. If a^b= c = log_a c=b; where a = 1.

2. a^loga^b = b^x

3. log_aⁿ=1

4. log_b _a =log_b x logxa =log_xalog_bx

5. log_ba=log_xa.log_yx.log_zy….log_bk

6. log_ba=log_bx.log_xy.log_yz….log_k

If log_ba=x

Then

⇒ $\log _{\frac{1}{5}} a=-x$

⇒ $\log _b \frac{1}{a}=-x$

⇒ $\log _{\frac{1}{b}} \frac{1}{a}=+x$

⇒ $\log _a b\left(m^n\right)=\frac{n}{b} \log _{a^n}$

⇒ $\log _{a^{\left(m m^n\right)}}=n \log _{a^{m i}}$

⇒ $\log _{\frac{1}{b}} m=\frac{1}{b} \log _{a^m}$

If log_am = log_am ⇒ a = b.

If log_am = log_an ⇒ m = n.

CA Foundation Maths Solutions For Chapter 1 Logarithms Exercise – 1

Question 1. The value of log2 16is:

$\frac{1}{\mathrm{8}}$
4
8
16

Solution:

Let log1 16 = n. Then, 2″ = 16 = 24 => n = 4

log₂ 16 = n.

Question 2. If log_x4=0.4then the value of x is

Solution:

logs 4 = 0.4

⇒ $\Leftrightarrow \log _{\mathrm{x}} 4=\frac{4}{10}=\frac{2}{5} \Leftrightarrow x^{2 / 5}=4 \Leftrightarrow \mathrm{x}=4^{5 / 2}=\left(2^2\right)^{5 / 2}$

$\Leftrightarrow x=2^{\left(2 \times \frac{5}{2}\right)}=2^5 \Leftrightarrow x=32$

Question 3. If log10 y = 100 log₂X= 10, then the value of:

210
2100
2100
210000

Solution:

log₂ X = 10 ⇒ x = 2¹⁰

log_x y = 100 ⇒ y = x¹⁰⁰ = (2¹⁰)¹⁰⁰ = y= 2¹⁰⁰⁰

Question 4. $\frac{\log \sqrt{8}}{\log 8}$

$\frac{1}{\sqrt{8}}$
$\frac{1}{4}$
$\frac{1}{2}$
$\frac{1}{8}$

Solution:

⇒ $\frac{\log \sqrt{B}}{\log 8}=\frac{\log (B)^{1 / 2}}{\log 8}=\frac{\frac{1}{2} \log 8}{\log 8}=\frac{1}{2} .$

Question 5. Which of the following statements is not correct?

log₁₀ 10=1
log (2 + 3) = log (2 x 3)= log (2×3)
log₁₀ 1 = 0
log (1 + 2 + 3) = log ₁ + log₂+ log₃

Solution:

Since logaa = 1, so log₁₀ 10 = 1.

log (2 + 3)= 5 and log (2 x 3) = log 6 = log 2 + log 3

log (2 + 3) = log (2 + 3).

Since log_a 1 = 0, so log₁₀ 1 = 0.

log (1 + 2 + 3) = log 6 = log (1 x 2 x 3) = log₁ + log ₂ + log ₃.

So, (2) is incorrect.

Question 6. If ax – by, then:

$\log \frac{a}{b}=\frac{x}{y}$
$\frac{\log a}{\log b}=\frac{x}{y}$
$\frac{\log n}{\log b}=\frac{y}{x}$
None

ax = by⇒ log a^x= log b^y⇒ x log a = y log b $\Rightarrow \frac{\log a}{\log b}=\frac{y}{x}$

= log₁₀ 25 + log₁₀ 8 – log₁₀ 2 = log₁₀ $\left(\frac{25 \times 8}{2}\right)=\log _{11} 100=2 \text {. }$

Question 8. If loga (ab) = x, then logi, (ab) is:

$\frac{1}{x}$
$\frac{x}{x+1}\$
$\frac{x}{1-x}$
$\frac{x}{x-1}$

Solution:

Loga (ab) = x $\Leftrightarrow \quad \frac{\log a b}{\log a}=\mathrm{x} \quad \Leftrightarrow \quad \frac{\log a+\log b}{\log a}=\mathrm{x}$

⇒ $\Leftrightarrow \quad 1+\frac{\log b}{\log a}=x \quad \Leftrightarrow \quad \frac{\log b}{\log a}=x-1$

⇒ $\Leftrightarrow \quad \frac{\log a}{\log b}=\frac{1}{x-1} \quad \Leftrightarrow \quad 1+\frac{\log a}{\log b}=1+\frac{1}{x-1}$

⇒ $\Leftrightarrow \quad \frac{\log b}{\log a}+\frac{\log a}{\log b}=\frac{x}{x-1} \quad \Leftrightarrow \quad \frac{\log b+\log a}{\log b}=\frac{x}{x-1}$

⇒ $\Leftrightarrow \quad \frac{\log (a b)}{\log b}=\frac{x}{(x-1)} \quad \Leftrightarrow \quad \log _b(a b)=\frac{x}{x-1} .$

$2 x-\frac{2}{3} y+\frac{1}{3} z$
$-2 x+\frac{2}{3} y+\frac{1}{3} z$

Solution:

⇒ $\log (4 \cdot \sqrt[3]{63})=\log 4+\log (\sqrt[3]{63})=\log 4+\log (63)^{1 / 3}=\log \left(2^2\right) \log \left(7 \times 3^2\right)^{1 / 3}$

⇒ $\frac{3 \log 3}{\log 3+2 \log 2}=a \quad \Rightarrow \quad \frac{\log 3+2 \log 2}{3 \log 3}=\frac{1}{a}$

⇒ $\frac{\log 3}{3 \log 3}+\frac{2 \log 2}{3 \log 3}=\frac{1}{a} \quad \Rightarrow \quad \frac{2}{3} \frac{\log 2}{\log 3}=\frac{1}{a}-\frac{1}{3}=\left(\frac{3-a}{3 a}\right)$

⇒ $\frac{\log 2}{\log 3}=\left(\frac{3-a}{2 a}\right) \quad \Rightarrow \quad \log 3=\left(\frac{2 a}{3-a}\right) \log 2$

⇒ $\log _6 16=\frac{\log 16}{\log 6}=\frac{\log 2^4}{\log (2 \times 3)}=\frac{4 \log 2}{\log 2+\log 3}=\frac{4 \log 2}{\log 2\left[1+\left(\frac{2 a}{3-a}\right)\right]}=\frac{4}{\left(\frac{3+\pi}{3-a}\right)}=\frac{4(3-a)}{(3+a)}$

⇒ $\text { Or } \log \left(\frac{a+b}{4}\right)=\log (a b)^{1 / 2} \quad \text { Or } \frac{a+b}{4}=\sqrt{a b} \quad \text { Or } \mathrm{a}+\mathrm{b}=\sqrt[4]{a b}$

Squaring on both sides; we get (a + b)² = 16ab

Or a² + b² + 2ab= 16ab. Or a² + b² = 14ab

⇒ ${Or} \frac{a^2}{a b}+\frac{b^2}{a b}=\frac{14 a b}{a b} [Dividing by ab o both sides]$

$Let \log _y 27=n.$

Then 9n = 27 – 32n = 33 ⇔ 2n = 3 »

⇒ $\mathrm{n}=\frac{2}{3}$

Again, let log₂₂ 9 =m.

Then, 27^m= 9 ⇔ 3^3m = 32 ⇔ 3m = 2 ⇔ m = $\mathrm{n}=\frac{2}{3}$

log₉ 27 – log ₂₇ 9=(n-m)=$\left(\frac{3}{2}-\frac{2}{3}\right)=\frac{5}{6}$

Determination of the value of the variable that satisfies an equation is called a solution of the equation or root of the equation.
An equation in which the highest power of the variable is 1 is called a Linear (or simple) equation.
This is also called the equation of degree 1.
Two or more linear equations involving two or more variables are called Simultaneous Linear Equations.
An equation of degree 2 (Highest Power of the variable is 2) is called Quadratic equation and the equation of degree 3 is called Cubic Equation.

Simple Equation

A simple equation is one unknown x in the form of a x + b = 0.

Simultaneous Linear Equations in Two Unknowns

Two such equations a₁x+b₁y +c₁= 0 and a₂ x+b₂y + c₂ = 0 form a pair of simultaneous equations in x and y.
A value for each unknown that satisfies simultaneously both equations will give the roots of the equations.

Method of solution

1. Elimination Method: In this method, two given linear equations are reduced to a linear equation in one unknown by eliminating one of the unknown and then solving for the other unknown

CA Foundation Maths Chapter 2 Equations Solutions

Example 1: Solve, 2x+5y = 9 and 3x- y =5.
Solution:

2x + 5y = 9 …..(1)

3x – y = 5 …..(2)

By making (1) x 1, 2x+5y = 9

And by making (2) x 5, 15x- 5y = 25

Adding 17x- 34 or x- 2. Substituting this values of x in (1) i.e. 5y = 9 – 2x we find;

5y = 9 – 4 =5

y = 1

x = 2,

y =1.

2. Cross Multiplication Method:

Let two equations be:

a₁x + b₁y + c₁ = 0

a₂x + b₂y + c₂ = 0

We write the coefficients of x, y, and constant terms and two more columns by repeating the coefficients of x and y as follows:

1 2 3 4

b₁ c₁ a₁ b₁

b₂ c₂ a₂ b₂

⇒ and the result is given by$y: \frac{x}{b 1 c 2-b 2 c 1}=\frac{y}{c 1 a 2-c 2 a 1}=\frac{x}{a 1 b 2-a 2 b 1}$

⇒ so the solution is: x = $=\frac{b 1 c 2-b 2 c 1}{a 1 b 2-a 2 b 1} \quad y=\frac{c 1 a 2-c 2 a 1}{a 1 b 2-a 2 b 1}$

Example 2: Solve 3x+2y+17 =0, 5x-6y-9=0

Solution: 3x +2y 17= 0…..(1)

5x – 6y -9 = 0…..(3)

Method of elimination:

By (1) x 3 we get 9x + 6y + 51 = 0 …

Adding (2) and (3) we get 14x+42=0

Or x=$x=\frac{42}{14}=-3$

Putting x = -3 in (1) we get 3(-3) + 17 = 0

Or, 2y + 8 $=0 \text { or, } y=-\frac{8}{2}-4$

So,x = -3 andy = -4

Method of cross-multiplication:

3x + 2y + 17 = 0

5x – 6y- 9 = 0

⇒ $ \frac{x}{2(-9)-17(-6)}=\frac{y}{17(5)-3(-9)}=\frac{1}{3(-6)-5(2)}$

Or, $ \quad \frac{x}{84}=\frac{y}{112}=\frac{1}{-28}$

Or $\frac{x}{3}=\frac{y}{4}=\frac{1}{-28}$

Or x = -3 , y = -4

Method of Solving Simultaneous Linear Equation with Three Variables

Example 1: Solve for x, y and z:

2x-y + z = 3, x + 3y-2z=ll, 3x-2y + 4z=l

Solution:

(1) Method Of Elimination

2x – y + z = 3…..(1)

x + 3y — 2z =11…..(2)

3x – 2y + 4z = 1…..(3)

By (1) x 2 we get

4x – 2y + 2z = 6…..(4)

By (2) + (4),5x + y= 17…..(5)

By (2) x 2, 2x + 6y- 4z = 22…..(6)

By (3) + (6), 5x + 4y = 23…..(4)

By (5) – (7), – 3y = -6 ory = 2

Putting y = 2 in (5) 5x + 2 = 17, or 5x = 15 or, x=3

Putting = 3andy = 2 in (1)

2×3-2+ z =3

Or 6 – 2 + z = 3

Or 4 + z = 3

Or z=-l

So x- 3, y- 2, Z = -1 is the required solution

(2) Method Of Cross-Multiplication

We write the equations as follows:

2x-y + (z – 3) = 0

x + 3y + (-2z-ll) = 0

By cross multiplication

⇒ $ \frac{x}{-1(-2 z-11)-3(z-3)}=\frac{y}{(z-3)-2(-2 z-11)}=\frac{1}{23-1(-1)}$

⇒ $\frac{x}{20-z}=\frac{y}{5 z+19}=\frac{1}{7}$

⇒ $X=\frac{20-z}{7}, y=\frac{5 z+19}{7}$

Substituting above values for x and y in equation (iii) i.e. 3x- 2y + yz = 1, we have

⇒ $3{20-z}{7}-2{5 z-19}{7}+4 z=1$

Or 60 – 3z = lOz- 38 + 28 z = 7

Or 15z = 7-22 orl5z = -15 or Z=l

⇒ $x=\frac{20-(-1)}{7}=\frac{21}{7}=3, \quad y=\frac{5(-1)+19}{7}=\frac{14)}{7}=2$

Thus x = 3,y= 2, Z= -1.

An equation of the form ax2 + fax + c = 0 where x is a variable and a, b, c are constants with a ≠ 0 is called a quadratic equation or equation of the second degree.

When b = 0 the equation is called a pure quadratic equation; when b * 0 the equation is called an affected quadratic.

Examples:

1. 2x² + 3x + 5 = 0

2. x²-x = 0

3. 5x² – 6x – 3 = 0

The value of the variable say x is called the root of the equation. A quadratic equation has two roots.

How to find out the roots of a Quadratic Equation:

ax² +bx + c = 0 (a ≠ 0)

⇒ $\text { Or } x^2+\frac{b}{a} x+\frac{c}{a}=0$

Or $x^2+2 \frac{b}{2 a} x+\frac{b^2}{4 a^2}=\frac{b^2}{4 a^2}-\frac{c}{a}$

Or$\left(x+\frac{b}{2 a}\right)^2=\frac{b^2}{4 a^2}-\frac{c}{a}$

Or$\mathrm{x}+\frac{b}{2 a}=\frac{ \pm \sqrt{b^2-4 a c}}{2 a}$

Or$\mathrm{x}=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4 a c}}{2 a}$

Sum and Product of the Roots:

Let one root be a and the other root be p

Now $ \alpha+\beta & =\frac{-b+\sqrt{b^2-4 a c}}{2 a}+\frac{-b-\sqrt{b^2-4 a c}}{2 a}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{b^2-4 a c}-b-\sqrt{b^2-4 a c}}{2 a}$

⇒ $\frac{-2 b}{2 a}=\frac{-b}{a}$

Thus sum of roots = $-\frac{b}{a}=-\frac{\text { coefficient of } x}{\text { coefficient of } x^2}$

⇒ $x \beta=\left(\frac{-b+\sqrt{b^2-4 a c}}{2 a}\right)\left(\frac{-b-\sqrt{b^2-4 a c}}{2 a}\right)=\frac{c}{a}$

So the product of the roots =$\frac{\mathrm{e}}{a}=\frac{\text { Constant term }}{\text { coefficient of } x^2}$

How to Construct a Quadratic Equation

For the equation ax² + bx + c = 0 we have

⇒ $\text { Or } x^2+\frac{b}{a} x+\frac{c}{a}=0$

⇒ $\text { Or } x^2-\left(-\frac{b}{a}\right) x+\frac{c}{a}=0$

Or A-2 – (Sum of the roots) x + Product of the roots = 0

Nature of the Roots

⇒ $X=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4 a c}}{2 a}$

If b² — 4ac = 0 the roots are real and equal;

If b²– 4ac > 0 then the roots are real and unequal (or distinct);

If b²– 4ac < 0 then the roots are imaginary;

If b²– 4ac is a perfect square (≠0) the roots are real, rational, and unequal (distinct);

If b² – 4ac > 0 but not a perfect square the roots are real, irrational, and unequal.

Since b²– 4ac discriminates the roots b²– 4ac is called the discriminant in the equation ax² + bx + c = 0 as it discriminates between the roots.

Note:

Irrational roots occur in conjugate pairs that is if (m + Vn) is a root then (m – Vn) is the other of the same equation.
If one root is reciprocal to the other root then their product is 1 and so $\frac{c}{a}=1 \text { i.e. } c=\mathrm{a}$
If one root is equal to another root but opposite in sign then.
- Their sum = 0 and so $\frac{b}{a}=1 \text { i.e. } c=\mathrm{a}$

$\alpha=\frac{-b+\sqrt{b^2-4}}{2 a} \text { and } \beta=\frac{-b-\sqrt{b^2-4 a c}}{2 a}$
- Sum of roots =$a+\beta=-\frac{b}{a}$
Product of roots =$\alpha\beta=\frac{c}{a}$

Structure of Quadratic Equations

If the sum (S) (α + β) and Product (P) (αβ) of the roots are known, then the quadratic is x² – Sx + P = 0

Sign of Roots of a Quadratic Equation

When c = 0, one root of the equation must be 0,
When h and c are 0, then both the roots must be 0.
If a,b, and c all are 0, both roots are negative.
If a and c are of some sign, opposite to that of, then both the roots will be positive.
If a and c are of opposite signs, one root is positive, and another root is negative.

Nature of Roots

The Expression “b² – 4ac” is called the “Discriminant (D)” of the quadratic equation.

When D> 0, Roots are real and distinct.
When D = 0, Roots are real and equal.
When D < 0, the Roots are imaginary.
When D > 0, Roots are real.
When D is a perfect square, Roots are real, rational, and unequal.
When D is not a perfect square, Roots are real, rational, and unequal.
If roots are equal use b² = 4ac.
If roots are reciprocal of each other, use a = c
If roots are equal but of opposite sign, use b = 0
If roots are reciprocal but opposite in sign, use c = -0

Note

1. Irrational roots will always appear in conjugate pairs.

it = (a- √b) and (1= (a + √b)

2. Imaginary roots will always appear in conjugate pairs.

u = (a- ib) and β = (a + ib)

Here, α,β, and γ are the roots or solutions of the cubic equation.

3. Sum of roots = α+β+γ= -b/a

4. Product of the roots = αβγ = -d/a

Bi-Quadratic Equations

A bi-quadratic equation is a polynomial of degree 4, and the general form is represented as follows:

ax⁴+ bx³ + cx² + dx + e = 0; (a * 0)

The factor form of a cubic equation is given as follows:

a(x- α)(x- β)(x-γ)(x-δ) = 0

Here, α, β,andγ are the roots or solutions of the bi-quadratic equation.

The sum of roots = α + β +γ + δ = -b/a

Product of the roots = αβγδ = e/a

⇒ p² + (p+5)² = 625

⇒ p² + p² + 25 + lOp = 625

⇒ 2p²+10p- 600 = 0

⇒ p² + 5p – 300 = 0

⇒ p2 + 20p-15p- 300 = 0

⇒ p (p + 20) – 15 (p+20) = 0

⇒ p = 15,p = -20

second = 50 – x

⇒ $\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{50-x}=\frac{1}{2}$

⇒ $\frac{50-x+x}{x(50-x)}=\frac{1}{12}$

⇒ 600 = x (50 – x)

⇒ 600 = 50x – x²

⇒ x²-50x + 600 = 0

⇒ x²– 30x- 20x + 600 = 0

⇒ x (x – 30) – 20 (x- 30) = 0

∴ x = 20, 30

⇒ $\frac{1}{x}-\frac{1}{x+1}=\frac{1}{240}$

⇒ $\frac{x-x+1}{x(x+1)}=\frac{1}{240} \rightarrow+240=x(x+1)$

⇒ x² + x – 240 = 0

⇒ x² + x- 240 = 0

⇒ x²+ 16x- 15x- 240 = 0

⇒ x (x + 16) – 15 (x +16) = 0

⇒ x = 15, x = -16

∴ x= 15

None of these

Solution:

(2) hypotenuse = 20 cm

The difference between the other two sides a and, b is 4

⇒ a – b = 4

⇒ a = 4 + b

⇒ a² + b² = c²

⇒ a² + (a-4)²= c²

⇒ a² + a²+ 16 – 8a = 20²

⇒ 2a² + 8a = 384

⇒ 2a²+ 8a – 384 = 0

⇒ a² – 4a – 192 – 0

⇒ a²– 16a + 12a – 192 = 0

⇒ a (a- 16) + 12 (a—16) = 0

⇒ a = 16

Question 62. A man starts his job with a certain monthly salary and earns a fixed increment every year. If his salary was K 1,500 after 4 years of service and 1,800 after 10 years of service, what was his starting salary and what is the annual increment in rupees?

1,300, 50
1,00, 50
1,500, 30
None

Solution:

For (1) salary after 4 years 1300 + 4 x 50 =1500……..(1)

Salary after 10 years = 1300 + 10 x 50 =1800……….(2)

Detail Method

Let fixed salary = a

Increment per yr = b

Salary after t yrs = s

s = a + bt

a + b x 4 = 1500 = a + 4b = 1500…

a + bx 10= 1800 = a + 10b = 1800.

Eqn. (2) – eqn. (1); we get

a + bx 10= 1800

a + 4b =1500

6b = 300 b =$b=\frac{300}{6} ₹ 50$

From (1) a + 4 x 50 = 1500

Or a = 1500 – 200 = 1300

(1) is correct

Question 63. The sides of an equilateral triangle are shortened by 1 2 units, 13 units, and 14 units respectively, and a right-angled triangle is formed. The side of the equilateral triangle is:

17 units
16 units

Solution:

For (a] let each side = 17 units.

∴ sides are 17 – 12; 17 – 13 and 17 – 14

= 5; 4 and 3 units respectively

They make a right-angled triangle because the sum of squares of two sides is equal to
square of the largest side.

i.e., 42 + 32 = 52

(1) is correct.

Detail method

Let the length of each side = x

Side of the right angle triangle are x – 12 ; x – 13 and x – 14

by Pythagoras theorem

(x- 12)² = (x- 13)² + (X- 14)²

Or x² – 24x + 144 = x² – 26x + 167 + x² – 28x + 196

Or 0 = x² – 30x + 221

Or x²-17x-13x + 221 = 0

Orx(x-17)-13(x-17) =0

Or (x-17) (x-13) = 0

x = 17; 13

No side = x-13 = 0

x = 17

(a) is correct.

Solution:

(3) let x be common in the ratio

length = 5x anil breadth = 4x

Area = 5x x 4x = 8000

Or 20x² = 8000

Or x² = 400 = 20²

∴ x = 20

Length = 5x = 5 x 20 = 100m

Breadth = 4x = 4 x 20 = 80m

Let Width of path = ym

∴ Area of rest part = 8000 – 3200

Or (100 – 2y) (80- 2y) = 4800

Tricks: go by choices.

∴ (3) y = 10 m satisfies it

Width = 10m is correct

2(l + b) = 340…….(1)

Or 1 +b = 170…….(2)

Then Go by choices

For (a) if 1 = 140 then b = 170 – 140 = 30

lb = 140 x 30 = 4200* 6000

(a) is not the answer

For (2) if 1 = 120

Then 120 + b = 170

b= 170 -120 = 50

Area = lb = 120 x 50 = 6000

8
615
7
Either (2) or [3]

Solution:

⇒ $ \sqrt{2 x-5}+\sqrt{3 x+4}=8 \rightarrow(\mathrm{A})$

By squaring on both sides.

⇒ $5 x-1+2 \sqrt{6 x^2-7 x-20}=64$

⇒ $ 2 \sqrt{6 x^2-7 x-20=-5(x-3)}$

By squaring on both sides

⇒ 4(6x² – 7x- 20) = 25(x² – 26x + 169)

⇒ x²– 622x + 4305 = 0

⇒ (x — 61 5)(x — 7) = 0

Substituting x =7 in (A) we see that V9 + V25 = 8 but for x=615

⇒ $=\sqrt{2(615)-5}+\sqrt{3(615)+4}=\sqrt{1225}+\sqrt{1849}$

35+43=78

To get 8, we have to take the negative root for 1225 The expression V1225 normally stands for the positive square root 35 we would say that x=615 does not satisfy [A)

Hence x =7

2. B or C
3. C or A
4. Only B

Solution:

⇒ $ \sqrt{3 x+34}+\sqrt{3-2 x}=\sqrt{67+x} \rightarrow(A)$

By squaring on both sides,

⇒ $x+37+2 \sqrt{-6 x^2-59 x+102}=67+x $

⇒ $2 \sqrt{-6 x^2-59 x+102}=30$

By squaring on both sides,

⇒ -6x²– 59x + 102=225

⇒ 6x² + 59x+123=0

⇒ (6x+41) (x+3)=0

⇒ x= -41/6 or -3

Substituting -3 in (A) the left-hand side (LIIS)

And if we substitute -41/6 the LHS of (A

⇒ $=\sqrt{3(-3)+34}+\sqrt{3-(-6)}=5+3=8 R H S$

⇒ $\sqrt{-\frac{41}{2}+\frac{68}{2}}+\sqrt{\frac{9}{3}+\frac{41}{3}}=\sqrt{\frac{27}{2}}+\sqrt{\frac{50}{3}}$

⇒ $\frac{9}{\sqrt{6}}+\frac{10}{\sqrt{6}}=\frac{19}{\sqrt{6}} \text { and the RHS }$

⇒ $\sqrt{\frac{402}{6}-\frac{41}{6}}=\sqrt{\frac{361}{6}}=\frac{19}{\sqrt{6}}$

Solution:

Let the number of coins with Pranav, Pavan, and Samir Tarun be (a-3), (a-1), and (a+1) respectively.

(a² + 3²)(a²– l²)(a + 3)= 5760

Let a2 = k(k- 9)(/c- 1) = 5760

k² – 10k- 5751 = (k- 81)(fc + 71) = 0

⇒k = 81 or- 71

As k is positive, a² = 81⇒a = 9

⇒ (a- 3) + (a- 1) + (a + 1) + (a + 3) = 36

Question 114. If the roots of ax² + bx+c-0 are α and β and the roots of px² + qx + r = 0 are α- k and β-k, then

r= ak²– bk- ck²
r= ak + bk + ck²
r= ak² + bk + c

Solution:

(d)

As α— k and β — n are the roots ax² + bx + c = 0

Now, the equation with α — k and β- kas roots are

f(x + k) i.e.a(x-k)² + b(x + k) + c = 0

ax2 + (fa + 2ak)x + (a/c2 + fa/c + c) = 0

By comparing this equation with px² + qx +r = 0, r=ak² + bk + c

x²+ 0.36x + 0.18 = 0

x² +36x + 18 = 0

x² + 3.6x + 1.8 = 0

Solution:

(4)

The roots of x² +7x + 10 = 0 area and (3)

α + β = -7 and αβ = 10

⇒ $\text { If } \mathrm{p}=\frac{1-\alpha}{\beta} \text { and } \mathrm{q}=\frac{1-\beta}{\alpha}$

⇒ $P+q=\frac{(\alpha+\beta)-\left(\alpha^2+\beta^2\right)}{\alpha \beta}$

⇒ $=\frac{(\alpha+\beta)-(\alpha+\beta)^2-2 \alpha \beta}{\alpha \beta}$

⇒ $=\frac{(-7)-\left(7^2-2(10)\right)}{10}=-3.6$

⇒ $\text { and } \mathrm{pq}=-\frac{1-\alpha-\beta+\alpha \beta}{\alpha \beta}$

⇒ $=\frac{1-(-7)+10}{10}=1.8$

The equation where roots are p,q is x² + 3.6x + 1.8 = 0

And na= 3300→ (2)

Substituting the value of from (2) in (1)

22(3300/n)-200n = 4400

⇒ ll(33)/n- n = 22⇒ n² + 22n- 11(33) = 0

⇒ (n + 33)(n- 11) = 0 =>n = 11

Question 117. The sum of two positive numbers is 32. The square of the largest number is 223 more than twice the square of the smaller number. Find the smaller number.

2A2 + 23 = y2 → (2)

⇒ x² + 64x- 1001 = 0⇒(x + 77)(x- 13) = 0

⇒ x = -77 or x = 13

As x cannot be negative x = 13

Divide (1) by x2 we get $x^2+2 x-10-\frac{2}{x}+\frac{1}{x^2}=0$

⇒ $\Rightarrow\left(x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}\right)+2\left(x-\frac{1}{x}\right)-10=0$

⇒ $\text { Put } \mathrm{x}-\frac{1}{x}=y, \text { then } x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}=y^2+2$

⇒ y² + 2 + 2y- 10 = 0

⇒ (y+4)(y-2) =0

⇒ y= -4 or 2
