\displaystyle \textbf{Question 1: }\text{A person opens a Recurring Deposit Account with a bank and}
\displaystyle \text{deposits Rs. }600\text{ per month for }20\text{ months. Calculate the maturity value}
\displaystyle \text{of the account if the bank pays interest at }10\%\text{ per annum.}
\displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle \text{Maturity Value}=\text{Total amount deposited}+\text{Interest earned}
\displaystyle \text{Here, }P=\text{Rs. }600,\ n=20,\ r=10\%
\displaystyle \text{Maturity Value}=P\times n+P\times\frac{n(n+1)}{2\times12}\times\frac{r}{100}
\displaystyle =600\times20+600\times\frac{20(20+1)}{2\times12}\times\frac{10}{100}
\displaystyle =12000+1050=\text{Rs. }13050
\\

\displaystyle \textbf{Question 2: }\text{A person opened a Recurring Deposit Account in a bank and}
\displaystyle \text{deposited Rs. }640\text{ per month for }4\frac{1}{2}\text{ years. Find the maturity}
\displaystyle \text{value of the account if the bank pays interest at }12\%\text{ per annum.}
\displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle \text{Here, }P=\text{Rs. }640,\ n=54,\ r=12\%
\displaystyle \text{Maturity Value}=P\times n+P\times\frac{n(n+1)}{2\times12}\times\frac{r}{100}
\displaystyle =640\times54+640\times\frac{54(54+1)}{2\times12}\times\frac{12}{100}
\displaystyle =34560+9504=\text{Rs. }44064
\\

\displaystyle \textbf{Question 3: }\text{Person A and Person B both opened Recurring Deposit Accounts in a}
\displaystyle \text{bank. If A deposited Rs. }1200\text{ per month for }3\text{ years and B deposited}
\displaystyle \text{Rs. }1500\text{ per month for }2\frac{1}{2}\text{ years, find who will get more amount}
\displaystyle \text{on maturity and by how much. The rate of interest is }10\%\text{ per annum.}
\displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle \text{For Person A:}
\displaystyle P=\text{Rs. }1200,\ n=36,\ r=10\%
\displaystyle \text{Maturity Value}=P\times n+P\times\frac{n(n+1)}{2\times12}\times\frac{r}{100}
\displaystyle =1200\times36+1200\times\frac{36(36+1)}{2\times12}\times\frac{10}{100}
\displaystyle =\text{Rs. }49860
\displaystyle \text{For Person B:}
\displaystyle P=\text{Rs. }1500,\ n=30,\ r=10\%
\displaystyle \text{Maturity Value}=P\times n+P\times\frac{30(30+1)}{2\times12}\times\frac{10}{100}
\displaystyle =1500\times30+1500\times\frac{30(30+1)}{2\times12}\times\frac{10}{100}
\displaystyle =\text{Rs. }50812.50
\displaystyle \text{Difference}=50812.50-49860=\text{Rs. }952.50
\displaystyle \therefore \text{Person B gets more by Rs. }952.50.
\\

\displaystyle \textbf{Question 4: }\text{A person deposited a certain sum every month in a Recurring Deposit}
\displaystyle \text{Account for }12\text{ months. If the bank pays interest at }11\%\text{ per annum}
\displaystyle \text{and the maturity value is Rs. }12715,\text{ find the monthly deposit.}
\displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle \text{Let the monthly deposit be Rs. }x.
\displaystyle P=\text{Rs. }x,\ n=12,\ r=11\%,\ \text{Maturity Value}=\text{Rs. }12715
\displaystyle \text{Maturity Value}=P\times n+P\times\frac{n(n+1)}{2\times12}\times\frac{r}{100}
\displaystyle 12715=12x+x\times\frac{12(12+1)}{2\times12}\times\frac{11}{100}
\displaystyle 12715=x\left(12+\frac{13\times11}{200}\right)
\displaystyle 12715=x(12.715)
\displaystyle x=\frac{12715}{12.715}=\text{Rs. }1000
\displaystyle \therefore \text{The monthly deposit is Rs. }1000.
\\

\displaystyle \textbf{Question 5: }\text{A man has a Recurring Deposit Account in a bank for }3\frac{1}{2}\text{ years.}
\displaystyle \text{If the rate of interest is }12\%\text{ per annum and he gets Rs. }10205\text{ on}
\displaystyle \text{maturity, find the monthly installment.}
\displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle \text{Let the monthly installment be Rs. }x.
\displaystyle P=\text{Rs. }x,\ n=42,\ r=12\%,\ \text{Maturity Value}=\text{Rs. }10205
\displaystyle \text{Maturity Value}=P\times n+P\times\frac{n(n+1)}{2\times12}\times\frac{r}{100}
\displaystyle 10205=42x+x\times\frac{42(42+1)}{2\times12}\times\frac{12}{100}
\displaystyle x\left(42+\frac{42\times43}{2\times12}\times\frac{12}{100}\right)=10205
\displaystyle x=\text{Rs. }200
\\

\displaystyle \textbf{Question 6: }\text{Explain the following:}
\displaystyle \text{(i) Punnet has a Recurring Deposit Account in Bank of Baroda and deposits}
\displaystyle \text{Rs. }140\text{ per month for }4\text{ years. If he gets Rs. }8092\text{ on maturity,}
\displaystyle \text{find the rate of interest given by the bank.}
\displaystyle \text{(ii) David opened a Recurring Deposit Account in a bank and deposited}
\displaystyle \text{Rs. }300\text{ per month for }2\text{ years. If he received Rs. }7725\text{ on maturity,}
\displaystyle \text{find the rate of interest per annum.}\hfill \text{[ICSE 2008]}
\displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle \text{(i) Here, }P=\text{Rs. }140,\ n=48,\ r=r\%,\ \text{Maturity Value}=\text{Rs. }8092
\displaystyle \text{Maturity Value}=P\times n+P\times\frac{n(n+1)}{2\times12}\times\frac{r}{100}
\displaystyle 8092=140\times48+140\times\frac{48(48+1)}{2\times12}\times\frac{r}{100}
\displaystyle r=\frac{(8092-140\times48)\times(2\times12)\times100}{140\times48\times49}
\displaystyle r=10\%
\displaystyle \text{(ii) Here, }P=\text{Rs. }300,\ n=24,\ r=r\%,\ \text{Maturity Value}=\text{Rs. }7725
\displaystyle \text{Maturity Value}=P\times n+P\times\frac{n(n+1)}{2\times12}\times\frac{r}{100}
\displaystyle 7725=300\times24+300\times\frac{24(24+1)}{2\times12}\times\frac{r}{100}
\displaystyle r=\frac{(7725-300\times24)\times(2\times12)\times100}{300\times24\times25}
\displaystyle r=7\%
\\

\displaystyle \textbf{Question 7: }\text{Amit deposited Rs. }150\text{ per month in a bank for }8\text{ months}
\displaystyle \text{under the Recurring Deposit Scheme. What will be the maturity value}
\displaystyle \text{of his deposits, if the rate of interest is }8\%\text{ per annum and}
\displaystyle \text{interest is calculated at the end of every month?}\hfill \text{[ICSE 2001, 2007]}
\displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle P=\text{Rs. }150,\ n=8,\ r=8\%
\displaystyle \text{Maturity Value}=P\times n+P\times\frac{n(n+1)}{2\times12}\times\frac{r}{100}
\displaystyle =150\times8+150\times\frac{8(8+1)}{2\times12}\times\frac{8}{100}
\displaystyle =1200+36=\text{Rs. }1236
\\

\displaystyle \textbf{Question 8: }\text{A person deposited Rs. }350\text{ per month in a bank for }1\text{ year}
\displaystyle \text{and }3\text{ months under the Recurring Deposit Scheme. If the maturity}
\displaystyle \text{value of the deposits is Rs. }5565,\text{ find the rate of interest per annum.}
\displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle P=\text{Rs. }350,\ n=15,\ r=r\%,\ \text{Maturity Value}=\text{Rs. }5565
\displaystyle \text{Maturity Value}=P\times n+P\times\frac{n(n+1)}{2\times12}\times\frac{r}{100}
\displaystyle 5565=350\times15+350\times\frac{15(15+1)}{2\times12}\times\frac{r}{100}
\displaystyle r=\frac{(5565-350\times15)\times(2\times12)\times100}{350\times15\times16}
\displaystyle r=9\%
\\

\displaystyle \textbf{Question 9: }\text{A Recurring Deposit Account of Rs. }1200\text{ per month has}
\displaystyle \text{a maturity value of Rs. }12440.\text{ If the rate of interest is }8\%\text{ and}
\displaystyle \text{interest is calculated at the end of every month, find the time in months.}
\displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle P=\text{Rs. }1200,\ n=n,\ r=8\%,\ \text{Maturity Value}=\text{Rs. }12440
\displaystyle \text{Maturity Value}=P\times n+P\times\frac{n(n+1)}{2\times12}\times\frac{r}{100}
\displaystyle 12440=1200n+1200\times\frac{n(n+1)}{2\times12}\times\frac{8}{100}
\displaystyle 12440=1200n+4n(n+1)
\displaystyle 12440=1200n+4n^2+4n
\displaystyle 4n^2+1204n-12440=0
\displaystyle n^2+301n-3110=0
\displaystyle (n-10)(n+311)=0
\displaystyle n=10\text{ or }n=-311
\displaystyle \text{Since the number of months cannot be negative, }n=10.
\displaystyle \therefore \text{The time is }10\text{ months.}
\\

\displaystyle \textbf{Question 10: }\text{A person has a Recurring Deposit Account of Rs. }300\text{ per month.}
\displaystyle \text{If the rate of interest is }12\%\text{ and the maturity value is Rs. }8100,
\displaystyle \text{find the time in years of this Recurring Deposit Account.}
\displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle P=\text{Rs. }300,\ n=n,\ r=12\%,\ \text{Maturity Value}=\text{Rs. }8100
\displaystyle \text{Maturity Value}=P\times n+P\times\frac{n(n+1)}{2\times12}\times\frac{r}{100}
\displaystyle 8100=300n+300\times\frac{n(n+1)}{2\times12}\times\frac{12}{100}
\displaystyle 8100=300n+\frac{3}{2}n(n+1)
\displaystyle 8100=300n+\frac{3}{2}n^2+\frac{3}{2}n
\displaystyle 1.5n^2+301.5n-8100=0
\displaystyle n^2+201n-5400=0
\displaystyle (n-24)(n+225)=0
\displaystyle n=24\text{ or }n=-225
\displaystyle \text{Since the number of months cannot be negative, }n=24.
\displaystyle 24\text{ months}=2\text{ years}
\displaystyle \therefore \text{The time is }2\text{ years.}
\\

\displaystyle \textbf{Question 11: }\text{Gupta opened a Recurring Deposit Account in a bank. He deposited}
\displaystyle \text{Rs. }2500\text{ per month for }2\text{ years. At the time of maturity, he received}
\displaystyle \text{Rs. }67500.\text{ Find:}
\displaystyle \text{(i) The total interest earned}\qquad\text{(ii) The rate of interest per annum.}\hfill \text{[ICSE 2010]}
\displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle \text{Here, }P=\text{Rs. }2500,\ n=24,\ \text{Maturity Value}=\text{Rs. }67500
\displaystyle \text{Total amount deposited}=2500\times24=\text{Rs. }60000
\displaystyle \text{Interest earned}=67500-60000=\text{Rs. }7500
\displaystyle \text{Let the rate of interest be }r\%\text{ per annum.}
\displaystyle \text{Interest}=P\times\frac{n(n+1)}{2\times12}\times\frac{r}{100}
\displaystyle 7500=2500\times\frac{24(24+1)}{2\times12}\times\frac{r}{100}
\displaystyle r=\frac{7500\times(2\times12)\times100}{2500\times24\times25}
\displaystyle r=12\%
\displaystyle \therefore \text{(i) Interest earned}=\text{Rs. }7500
\displaystyle \therefore \text{(ii) Rate of interest}=12\%\text{ per annum}
