Question : A sum of INR 10,000 was invested at a rate of 10% per annum for 2 years, compounded half-yearly. Find the compound interest.

Option 1: 2,151.0625

Option 2: 2,055

Option 3: 2,255

Option 4: 2,155.0625

Team Careers360 17th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 2,155.0625


Solution : Given, Principal, $P=\mathrm{INR\ }10000,$ Rate, $r=10\%=0.10,$
As it compounded half-yearly, the time will be 2 × 2 = 4 years
$\text{Total Amount, A}=\text{Principal}×(1+\frac{\text{Rate}}{100})^{\text{Time}}$
⇒ $A=10000(1+\frac{\frac{10}{100}}{2})^{4}$
⇒ $A=10000(\frac{21}{20})^4$
⇒ $A=10000×\frac{441}{400}×\frac{441}{400}$
$\therefore A=12155.0625$
Now, Compound interest = Total amount – Principal = 12155.0625 – 10000 = INR

Question : If $a+\frac{1}{a}=8$, then what is the value of $\frac{1}{a^4}+a^4 ?$

Option 1: 4098

Option 2: 3846

Option 3: 3842

Option 4: 4094

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 3842


Solution : $(a + \frac{1}{a}) = 8$
Squaring both sides, we get,
⇒ $ (a^2 + \frac{1}{a^2}) + 2 = 64$
⇒ $(a^2 + \frac{1}{a^2}) = 62$
Squaring both sides again, we get,
⇒ $a^4 + \frac{1}{a^4} + 2 = 3844$
⇒ $a^4 + \frac{1}{a^4} = 3844
