Answer:

  • The rate of interest compounded yearly =10%
  • The sum compounded is Rs4,500

Step-by-step explanation:

Compound Interest Formula, Amount, [tex]A(n)=P(1+r)^n[/tex]

Interest=Amount - Principal

[tex]I=P(1+r)^n-P[/tex]

At the end of 1 year, interest =Rs450, therefore:

[tex]450=P(1+r)-P\\450=P+Pr-P\\450=Pr[/tex]

At the end of 2 years, interest =Rs945, therefore:

[tex]945=P(1+r)^2-P\\945=P(1+r)(1+r)-P\\945=P(1+r+r+r^2)-P\\945=P(1+2r+r^2)-P\\945=P+2Pr+Pr^2-P\\945=2Pr+Pr^2[/tex]

Recall: Pr=450

Therefore:

[tex]945=2(450)+Pr^2\\945-900=Pr^2\\Pr^2=45[/tex]

Comparing Pr=450 and [tex]Pr^2=45[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{Pr^2}{Pr}= \dfrac{45}{450}\\r=0.1[/tex]

Substitute r=0.1 to obtain P

0.1P=450

P=Rs4500

Therefore:

  • The rate of interest compounded yearly =0.1=10%
  • The sum compounded is Rs4,500
