Question : 108
Total: 106
A man deposited Rs 10000 in a bank at the rate of 5% simple interest annually. Find the amount in 15th year since he deposited the amount and also calculate the total amount after 20 years.
Solution:  
Man deposited = Rs 10,000.
Rate of interest = 5%
Amount at the end of 1st year
= Rs. [10000+
10000×5×1
100
]

Since A = P + (
P×R×T
100
)

= Rs. [10000 + 500] = Rs. 10500
Amount at the end of 2nd year
= Rs. [10000+
10000×5×2
100
]

= Rs. [10000 + 1000] = Rs. 11000.
Similarly, amount at the end of 14th year
= Rs. [10000+
10000×5×14
100
]

= Rs. [10000 + 7000] = Rs. 17,000.
Hence, the amount at the end of 14th year = amount in the 15th year = Rs. 17000.
Now, amount at the end of 20th year = Rs. [10000+
10000×5×20
100
]

= Rs. [10000 + 10000] = Rs. 20000.
