Question

Find the interest and the amount on:
₹ 5,000 at 8% per year from 23rd December 2011 to 29th July 2012.

Sum

Solution

Principal (P) = ₹5000

Rate (R) = 8% p.a.

Time (T) = 23 December 2011 to 29 July 2012

Dec. Jan. Feb. March April May June July
8 31 29 31 30 31 30 29

Total of 219 days =`219/365`years

S.I = `(PxxRxxT)/100`

∴ Interest =`"PRT"/100=(5000xx8xx219)/(100xx365)`

= 10 × 8 × 3

= ₹240

∴ Amount = P + I

= ₹5000 + 240

= ₹5240
