\displaystyle P=\text{Rs. }29690,\ R=6\%\text{ and }T=\frac{1}{12}\text{ year}
\displaystyle I=P\times R\times T
\displaystyle I=29690\times\frac{6}{100}\times\frac{1}{12}
\displaystyle I=\text{Rs. }148.45
\displaystyle \therefore \text{Interest for six months}=\text{Rs. }148.45

\displaystyle \text{Interest is calculated on the minimum balance on or after the }10^{\text{th}}\text{ day of each month.}
\displaystyle \begin{array}{|c|r|}  \hline  \text{Month} & \text{Principal (Rs.)}\\  \hline  \text{August} & 10000\\  \text{September} & 15000\\  \text{October} & 20000\\  \text{November} & 15000\\  \text{December} & 18000\\  \text{January} & 0\\  \hline  \text{Total} & 78000\\  \hline  \end{array}
\displaystyle P=\text{Rs. }78000,\ R=5\%\text{ and }T=\frac{1}{12}\text{ year}
\displaystyle I=P\times R\times T
\displaystyle I=78000\times\frac{5}{100}\times\frac{1}{12}=\text{Rs. }325
\displaystyle \text{Amount received}=18000+325=\text{Rs. }18325
\\

\displaystyle \textbf{Question 3: }\text{A person had an account in a bank. His passbook had the following}
\displaystyle \text{entries:}
\displaystyle \begin{array}{|c|l|r|r|r|}  \hline  \text{Date} & \text{Particulars} & \text{Withdrawals (Rs.)} & \text{Deposits (Rs.)} & \text{Balance (Rs.)}\\  \hline  \text{Jan. 1, 2000} & \text{By Balance} & - & - & 9600\\  \text{Jan. 8} & \text{By Cash} & - & 6000 & 15600\\  \text{Feb. 18} & \text{To Cheque} & 10500 & - & 5100\\  \text{May 19} & \text{By Cash} & - & 6300 & 11400\\  \text{July 15} & \text{By Self} & 2400 & - & 9000\\  \text{Oct. 7} & \text{By Cash} & - & 3600 & 12000\\  \hline  \end{array}
\displaystyle \text{On }30^{\text{th}}\text{ October 2000, he closed the account. If the interest received}
\displaystyle \text{on closing the account was Rs. }310,\text{ calculate the rate of interest per annum.}
\displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle \text{Interest is calculated on the minimum balance on or after the }10^{\text{th}}\text{ day of each month.}
\displaystyle \begin{array}{|c|r|}  \hline  \text{Month} & \text{Principal (Rs.)}\\  \hline  \text{January} & 15600\\  \text{February} & 5100\\  \text{March} & 5100\\  \text{April} & 5100\\  \text{May} & 5100\\  \text{June} & 11400\\  \text{July} & 9000\\  \text{August} & 9000\\  \text{September} & 9000\\  \text{October} & 12000\\  \hline  \text{Total} & 86400\\  \hline  \end{array}
\displaystyle P=\text{Rs. }86400,\ R=r\%,\ T=\frac{1}{12}\text{ year and }I=\text{Rs. }310
\displaystyle I=P\times\frac{R}{100}\times T
\displaystyle 310=86400\times\frac{r}{100}\times\frac{1}{12}
\displaystyle r=\frac{310\times1200}{86400}=4.31\%
\displaystyle \therefore \text{The rate of interest is }4.31\%\text{ per annum.}
\\

\displaystyle \textbf{Question 4: }\text{A person deposited Rs. }600\text{ per month in a Recurring Deposit}
\displaystyle \text{Account for }4\text{ years. If the rate of interest is }8\%\text{ per annum,}
\displaystyle \text{calculate the maturity value of the account.}
\displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle P=\text{Rs. }600,\ n=48,\ r=8\%
\displaystyle \text{Maturity Value}=P\times n+P\times\frac{n(n+1)}{2\times12}\times\frac{r}{100}
\displaystyle =600\times48+600\times\frac{48(48+1)}{2\times12}\times\frac{8}{100}
\displaystyle =28800+4704=\text{Rs. }33504
\\

\displaystyle \textbf{Question 5: }\text{A person has a Recurring Deposit Account in a bank and deposits}
\displaystyle \text{Rs. }80\text{ per month for }18\text{ months. Find the rate of interest paid by}
\displaystyle \text{the bank if the maturity value of the account is Rs. }1554.
\displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle P=\text{Rs. }80,\ n=18,\ r=r\%,\ \text{Maturity Value}=\text{Rs. }1554
\displaystyle \text{Maturity Value}=P\times n+P\times\frac{n(n+1)}{2\times12}\times\frac{r}{100}
\displaystyle 1554=80\times18+80\times\frac{18(18+1)}{2\times12}\times\frac{r}{100}
\displaystyle r=\frac{(1554-80\times18)\times(2\times12)\times100}{80\times18\times19}
\displaystyle r=10\%
\displaystyle \therefore \text{The rate of interest is }10\%\text{ per annum.}
\\

\displaystyle \textbf{Question 6: }\text{The maturity value of a Recurring Deposit Account is Rs. }16176.
\displaystyle \text{If the monthly installment is Rs. }400\text{ and the rate of interest is }8\%,
\displaystyle \text{find the time of this account.}
\displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle P=\text{Rs. }400,\ n=n,\ r=8\%,\ \text{Maturity Value}=\text{Rs. }16176
\displaystyle \text{Maturity Value}=P\times n+P\times\frac{n(n+1)}{2\times12}\times\frac{r}{100}
\displaystyle 16176=400n+400\times\frac{n(n+1)}{2\times12}\times\frac{8}{100}
\displaystyle 16176=400n+\frac{4}{3}n(n+1)
\displaystyle 48528=1200n+4n(n+1)
\displaystyle n^2+301n-12132=0
\displaystyle (n-36)(n+337)=0
\displaystyle n=36\text{ or }n=-337
\displaystyle \text{Since the number of months cannot be negative, }n=36.
\displaystyle \therefore \text{The time of the account is }36\text{ months, i.e., }3\text{ years.}
\\

\displaystyle \textbf{Question 7: }\text{A person needs Rs. }30000\text{ after }2\text{ years. What least money}
\displaystyle \text{in multiple of Rs. }5\text{ must he deposit every month in a Recurring Deposit}
\displaystyle \text{Account to get the required money after }2\text{ years, the rate of interest}
\displaystyle \text{being }8\%\text{ per annum?}
\displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle \text{Let the monthly deposit be Rs. }x.
\displaystyle P=\text{Rs. }x,\ n=24,\ r=8\%,\ \text{Maturity Value}=\text{Rs. }30000
\displaystyle \text{Maturity Value}=P\times n+P\times\frac{n(n+1)}{2\times12}\times\frac{r}{100}
\displaystyle 30000=24x+x\times\frac{24(24+1)}{2\times12}\times\frac{8}{100}
\displaystyle 30000=24x+2x
\displaystyle 30000=26x
\displaystyle x=\frac{30000}{26}=\text{Rs. }1153.84
\displaystyle \text{The least multiple of Rs. }5\text{ greater than Rs. }1153.84\text{ is Rs. }1155.
\displaystyle \therefore \text{He must deposit Rs. }1155\text{ every month.}
\\

\displaystyle \textbf{Question 8: }\text{A person has a Recurring Deposit Account in a bank for }3\text{ years}
\displaystyle \text{at }8\%\text{ per annum simple interest. If he gets Rs. }9990\text{ as interest}
\displaystyle \text{at the time of maturity, find:}
\displaystyle \text{(i) The monthly installment}\qquad\text{(ii) The maturity amount}
\displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle \text{Let the monthly installment be Rs. }x.
\displaystyle n=36,\ r=8\%,\ I=\text{Rs. }9990
\displaystyle I=P\times\frac{n(n+1)}{2\times12}\times\frac{r}{100}
\displaystyle 9990=x\times\frac{36(36+1)}{2\times12}\times\frac{8}{100}
\displaystyle 9990=x\times\frac{36\times37}{24}\times\frac{8}{100}
\displaystyle 9990=4.44x
\displaystyle x=\frac{9990}{4.44}=\text{Rs. }2250
\displaystyle \therefore \text{The monthly installment is Rs. }2250.
\displaystyle \text{Total amount deposited}=2250\times36=\text{Rs. }81000
\displaystyle \text{Maturity amount}=81000+9990=\text{Rs. }90990
\displaystyle \therefore \text{The maturity amount is Rs. }90990.
\\

\displaystyle \textbf{Question 9: }\text{A person has a cumulative Recurring Deposit Account and deposits}
\displaystyle \text{Rs. }900\text{ per month for }4\text{ years. If he gets Rs. }52020\text{ at the time}
\displaystyle \text{of maturity, find the rate of interest.}
\displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle P=\text{Rs. }900,\ n=48,\ r=r\%,\ \text{Maturity Value}=\text{Rs. }52020
\displaystyle \text{Maturity Value}=P\times n+P\times\frac{n(n+1)}{2\times12}\times\frac{r}{100}
\displaystyle 52020=900\times48+900\times\frac{48(48+1)}{2\times12}\times\frac{r}{100}
\displaystyle r=\frac{(52020-900\times48)\times(2\times12)\times100}{900\times48\times49}
\displaystyle r=10\%
\displaystyle \therefore \text{The rate of interest is }10\%\text{ per annum.}
\\

\displaystyle \textbf{Question 10: }\text{A person has a }4\text{-year Recurring Deposit Account in a bank}
\displaystyle \text{and deposits Rs. }1800\text{ per month. If she gets Rs. }108450\text{ at the}
\displaystyle \text{time of maturity, find the rate of interest.}
\displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle P=\text{Rs. }1800,\ n=48,\ r=r\%,\ \text{Maturity Value}=\text{Rs. }108450
\displaystyle \text{Maturity Value}=P\times n+P\times\frac{n(n+1)}{2\times12}\times\frac{r}{100}
\displaystyle 108450=1800\times48+1800\times\frac{48(48+1)}{2\times12}\times\frac{r}{100}
\displaystyle r=\frac{(108450-1800\times48)\times(2\times12)\times100}{1800\times48\times49}
\displaystyle r=12.5\%
\displaystyle \therefore \text{The rate of interest is }12.5\%\text{ per annum.}

\displaystyle \text{If the bank pays interest at }5\%\text{ per annum, find the interest paid}
\displaystyle \text{on }1^{\text{st}}\text{ April 2008. Give your answer correct to the nearest rupee.}
\displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle \text{Interest is calculated on the minimum balance on or after the }10^{\text{th}}\text{ day of each month.}
\displaystyle \begin{array}{|c|r|}  \hline  \text{Month} & \text{Principal (Rs.)}\\  \hline  \text{April} & 7350\\  \text{May} & 11900\\  \text{June} & 11900\\  \text{July} & 13400\\  \text{August} & 13400\\  \text{September} & 14400\\  \text{October} & 14400\\  \text{November} & 15200\\  \text{December} & 15200\\  \text{January} & 13200\\  \text{February} & 13200\\  \text{March} & 14150\\  \hline  \text{Total} & 157700\\  \hline  \end{array}
\displaystyle P=\text{Rs. }157700,\ R=5\%\text{ and }T=\frac{1}{12}\text{ year}
\displaystyle I=P\times R\times T
\displaystyle I=157700\times\frac{5}{100}\times\frac{1}{12}
\displaystyle I=\text{Rs. }657.08
\displaystyle \therefore \text{Interest paid}=\text{Rs. }657\text{, correct to the nearest rupee.}
\\

\displaystyle \textbf{Question 12: }\text{Bitto deposits a certain sum of money in a Recurring Deposit}
\displaystyle \text{Account of a bank. If the rate of interest is }8\%\text{ per annum and}
\displaystyle \text{he gets Rs. }8008\text{ after }3\text{ years, find the monthly installment.} \hfill \text{[ICSE 2013]}
\displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle \text{Let the monthly installment be Rs. }x.
\displaystyle P=\text{Rs. }x,\ n=36,\ r=8\%,\ \text{Maturity Value}=\text{Rs. }8008
\displaystyle \text{Maturity Value}=P\times n+P\times\frac{n(n+1)}{2\times12}\times\frac{r}{100}
\displaystyle 8008=36x+x\times\frac{36(36+1)}{2\times12}\times\frac{8}{100}
\displaystyle 8008=40.44x
\displaystyle x=\frac{8008}{40.44}=\text{Rs. }198.02
\displaystyle \therefore \text{He must deposit Rs. }200\text{ every month.}
\\

\displaystyle \textbf{Question 13: }\text{Shahrukh opened a Recurring Deposit Account in a bank and}
\displaystyle \text{deposited Rs. }800\text{ per month for }1\frac{1}{2}\text{ years. If he received}
\displaystyle \text{Rs. }15084\text{ at the time of maturity, find the rate of interest per annum.} \hfill \text{[ICSE 2014]}
\displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle P=\text{Rs. }800,\ n=18,\ r=r\%,\ \text{Maturity Value}=\text{Rs. }15084
\displaystyle \text{Maturity Value}=P\times n+P\times\frac{n(n+1)}{2\times12}\times\frac{r}{100}
\displaystyle 15084=800\times18+800\times\frac{18(18+1)}{2\times12}\times\frac{r}{100}
\displaystyle r=\frac{(15084-800\times18)\times(2\times12)\times100}{800\times18\times19}
\displaystyle r=6\%
\displaystyle \therefore \text{The rate of interest is }6\%\text{ per annum.}
