Example 4. The present price of a machine is Rs. x and the rate of depreciation is 4y% per annum. The price of the machine will be after Z years is
- \(x\left(1+\frac{y}{25}\right)^z\)
- \(x\left(1-\frac{y}{25}\right)^z\)
- \(2 x\left(1-\frac{y}{100}\right)^z\)
- \(2 x\left(1-\frac{y}{25}\right)^{2 z}\)
Solution: Answer is 2. \(x\left(1-\frac{y}{25}\right)^z\)

- \(₹ \mathrm{P}\left(1-\frac{r}{100}\right)^n\)
- \(₹ 2 \mathrm{P}\left(1-\frac{r}{50}\right)^n\)
- \(₹ P\left(1-\frac{r}{100}\right)^{2 n}\)
- \(₹ 2 \mathrm{P}\left(1-\frac{r}{100}\right)^{2 n}\)
Solution: Answer is 4. \(₹ 2 \mathrm{P}\left(1-\frac{r}{100}\right)^{2 n}\)

Class 10 Maths Arithmetic Chapter 2 MCQs
Example 10. The price of a machine decrease at a rate of x% from its previous years value. If the present price is ₹ P, the price of the machine 2 years ago was
- \(₹ \left(\mathrm{P}-\mathrm{P} \times \frac{2 x}{100}\right)\)
- \(₹ \frac{P}{\left(1-\frac{x}{100}\right)^2}\)
- \(₹ \frac{P}{\left(1+\frac{x}{100}\right)^2}\)
- \(₹ P\left(1-\frac{x}{100}\right)^2\)
Solution: \(\mathrm{P}=?\left(1-\frac{x}{100}\right)^2 \quad ?=\frac{\mathrm{P}}{\left(1-\frac{x}{100}\right)^2}\)
∴ Answer is \(₹ \frac{P}{\left(1-\frac{x}{100}\right)^2}\).
Example 11. If the compound interest in 1 year of a certain principal at a certain rate per annum be ₹ x and the simple interest for 1 year is ₹ y then
- x > y
- x < y
- x = y
- x > y
Solution: Simple interest for a certain amount for 1 year at any rate = compound interest for that amount for 1 year at the same rate of interest.
∴ x = y
∴ Answer is x = y
Example 12. If the rate of compound interest is r% per annum and the principal at the end of first year be ₹ P then the principal at the beginning, of the third year is
- \(₹ P\left(1+\frac{r}{100}\right)^3\)
- \(₹ \mathrm{P}\left(1+\frac{r}{100}\right)^2\)
- \(P\left(1+\frac{r}{100}\right)^2\)
- \(₹ P\left(1+\frac{r}{100}\right) \frac{r}{100}\)
Solution: Principal at the beginning of 2nd year = ₹ P.
∴ Principal at the beginning of 3rd year = \(₹ P\left(1+\frac{r}{100}\right)\)
∴ Answer is 3. \(₹ P\left(1+\frac{r}{100}\right)^2\)

Example 13. In case of compound interest if the principal be ₹ P, rate of interest per annum = r, time = n years, and the final amount A, then
- \(\mathrm{A}=\mathrm{P}\left(1+\frac{r}{100}\right)^n\)
- \(A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{100}\right)\)
- \(\mathrm{A}=\mathrm{P}\left(1+\frac{r}{100}\right)^n-\mathrm{P}\)
- none of these
Solution: Answer is 1. \(\mathrm{A}=\mathrm{P}\left(1+\frac{r}{100}\right)^n\)
Example 14. The fixed interval for which the interest is paid is called
- Interest
- Interest period
- Amount
