Q. 77. Find the sum on which the compound interest for 33 years at 10% 10 \% per annum amounts to ₹ 11,655655 .
  1. Understand Compound Interest Formula: We know the formula for compound interest is A=P(1+rn)ntA = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}, where AA is the amount after tt years, PP is the principal amount, rr is the annual interest rate, and nn is the number of times interest is compounded per year. Here, A=P+A = P + compound interest, r=10%r = 10\% or 0.100.10, n=1n = 1 (since it's compounded annually), and AA00 years.
  2. Write Equation with Given Values: Given that the compound interest is ₹11,655655, we can write the equation as P(1+0.101)(1×3)P=1,655P(1 + \frac{0.10}{1})^{(1\times3)} - P = 1,655.
  3. Simplify the Equation: Simplify the equation: P(1+0.10)3P=1,655P(1 + 0.10)^3 - P = 1,655.
  4. Calculate Exponential Value: Calculate (1+0.10)3(1 + 0.10)^3: (1.10)3=1.10×1.10×1.10=1.331(1.10)^3 = 1.10 \times 1.10 \times 1.10 = 1.331.
  5. Substitute Value into Equation: Substitute the value back into the equation: P×1.331P=1,655P \times 1.331 - P = 1,655.
  6. Factor Out Principal Amount: Factor out PP: P(1.3311)=1,655P(1.331 - 1) = 1,655.
  7. Calculate Difference: Calculate 1.33111.331 - 1: 1.3311=0.3311.331 - 1 = 0.331.
  8. Isolate Principal Amount: Now we have P×0.331=1,655P \times 0.331 = 1,655.
  9. Calculate Principal Amount: Divide both sides by 0.3310.331 to find PP: P=1,6550.331P = \frac{1,655}{0.331}.
  10. Calculate Principal Amount: Divide both sides by 0.3310.331 to find PP: P=1,6550.331P = \frac{1,655}{0.331}.Calculate PP: P=5000P = 5000.
