Amount of maturity = ₹ 8,100
Interest = 8,100 – 300 x n ……. (i)
Total principal for 1 month

⇒ 3n (n + 1) = 16,200 – 600 n
⇒ 3n² + 3n = 16,200 – 600 n
⇒ 3n² + 603n – 16,200 = 0
Dividing by 3, we get,
⇒ n² + 201n – 5,400 = 0
⇒ n² + 225n – 24n – 5,400 = 0
⇒ n(n + 225) – 24 (n + 225) = 0
⇒ (n + 225) (n – 24) = 0
Either n + 225 = 0, then n = – 225 Which is not possible

A dealer buys an article at a discount of 30% from the wholesaler.
Price of the article which the dealer paid to the wholesaler = 6000 – 30% of 6000

Amount of the article inclusive of sales tax at which the dealer bought it
= ₹ 4200 + ₹ 252 = ₹ 4452
Dealer sells the article at a discount of 10% to the shopkeeper.
Price of the article which the shopkeeper paid to the dealer = ₹ 6000 – 10% of 6000

Amount of the article inclusive of sales tax at which the shopkeeper bought it
= ₹ 5400 + ₹ 324 = ₹ 5724

Divide ₹ 50,760 into two parts such that if one part is invested in 8% ₹ 100 shares at 8% discount and the other in 9% ₹ 100 shares at 8% premium, the annual incomes from both the investments are equal.
Solution:
Total investment = ₹ 50,760
Let first part of investment = x
Then second part = ₹ 50,760 – x
Rate of dividend in first part = 8% ₹100 at discount = 8%
M.V. of each share = ₹ 100 – 8 = ₹ 92
Rate of dividend second part = 9% ₹ 100 at premium = 8%
M.V. of each share = 100 + 8 = ₹ 108
But annual income from both part is same

Question 14.

Question 15.
Vivek invests ₹ 4500 in 8% ₹ 10 shares at ₹ 15. He sells the shares when the price rises to ₹ 30, and invests the proceeds in 12% ₹ 100 shares at ₹ 125. Calculate,
(i) the sale proceeds
(ii) the number of ₹ 125 shares he buys.
(iii) the change in his annual income from dividend.
Solution:
(i) By investing ₹ 15, share bought = ₹ 10
By investing ₹ 4500, share bought = \(\frac { 10 }{ 15 }\) x 4500 = ₹ 3000
Total face value of ₹ 10 shares = ₹ 3000, Income = 8%
= \(\frac { 8 }{ 100 }\) x 3000 = ₹ 240
By selling Rs. 10 share money received = ₹ 30
By selling Rs. 3000 shares money = \(\frac { 30 }{ 10 }\) x 3000 = ₹ 9000
(ii) By investing ₹ 125, no. of share of ₹ 100 bought = 1
By investing ₹ 9000, no. of share of ₹ 100 bought = \(\frac { 1 }{ 125 }\) x 9000 = 72
No. of ₹ 125 shares bought = 72
(iii) By investing ₹ 125 in Rs. 100 share, income = ₹ 12
By investing ₹ 9000 in ₹ 100 share, income = \(\frac { 12 }{ 125 }\) x 9000 = ₹ 864
Increase in income = ₹ 864 – ₹ 240 = ₹ 624

Question 16.
Mr. Parekh invested ₹ 52,000 on ₹ 100 shares at a discount of ₹ 20 paying 8% dividend. At the end of one year he sells the shares at a premium of ₹ 20. Find
(i) The annual dividend.
(ii) The profit earned including his dividend.
Solution:
Investment = ₹ 52000,
N.V. of 1 share = ₹ 100
M.V. of 1 share for 1 st year = ₹ 100 – 20 = ₹ 80
No. of shares = \(\frac { 52000 }{ 80 }\) = 650
(i) Annual dividend = \(\frac { 8 }{ 100 }\) x 650 x 100 = ₹ 5200
(ii) S.P of 1 share = ₹ 100 + 20 = ₹ 120
S.P. of 650 shares = ₹ 120 x 650 = ₹ 78000
C.P. of 650 shares = ₹ 100 x 650 = ₹ 65000
Profit = S.P. – C.P. = ₹ 78000 – ₹ 65000 = ₹ 13000
Profit including dividend = ₹ 13000 + ₹ 5200 = ₹ 18200

Question 17.
Salman buys 50 shares of face value ₹ 100 available at ₹ 132.
(i) What is his investment ?
(ii) If the dividend is 7.5%, what will be his annual income ?
(iii) If he wants to increase his annual income by ₹ 150, how many extra shares should he buy?
Solution:
F.V. = ₹ 100
(i) M. V. = ₹ 132,
no. of shares = 50
Investment = no. of shares x M.V. = 50 x 132 = ₹ 6600
(ii) Income per share = 7.5% of N.V.
= \(\frac { 75 }{ 10 x 100 }\) x 100 = ₹ 7.5
Annual incomes = 7.5 x 50 = ₹ 375
(iii) New annual income = 375 + 150 = ₹ 525
No. of shares = \(\frac { 525 }{ 7.5 }\) = 70
No. of extra share = 70 – 50 = 20

Question 18.

Solution:
No. of shares bought = 360
Face value of each share = Rs. 10
Dividend = 12%
Cost price of 360 shares = Rs. 360 x 10 = Rs. 3,600
Market value = Rs. 21
Selling price = Rs. 21 x 360 = Rs. 7,560
In second case :
Face value of each share = Rs. 5
Market value of each share = Rs. 3.5

Difference in his income = Rs. 486 Rs. 432 = Rs. 54

Question 18.

Solution:
In first case :
No. of shares sold = 400
Face value of each share = Rs. 20
Market value = Rs. 18
Income = 5%
Amount of his investment = Rs. 18 x 400 = Rs. 7,200
and amount of shares = Rs. 20 x 400 = Rs. 8000
In second case :
Market value of each share = Rs. 12
Face value of each share = Rs. 10
Rate of dividend = 7%
No. of shares purchased = \(\frac { 7200 }{ 12 }\) = 600
Face value of 600 shares = Rs. 10 x 600 = Rs. 6,000
Now, income in first case = Rs. 8000 x \(\frac { 5 }{ 100 }\) = Rs. 400
and income in second case = Rs. 6000 x \(\frac { 7 }{ 100 }\) = Rs. 420
Increase in income = Rs. 420 – 400 = Rs. 20

Question 19.
Two brothers A and B invest Rs. 16,000 each in buying shares of two companies. A buys 3% hundred-rupee shares at 80 and B buys ten rupee shares at par. If they both receive equal dividend at the end of the year, find the rate percent of the dividend received by B.
Solution:
A’s investment = Rs. 16,000
Face value of each share = Rs. 100
Market value of each share = Rs. 80
and rate of dividend = 3%
No. of shares purchased = \(\frac { 16000 }{ 80 }\) = 200
Amount of shares = 200 x Rs. 100 = Rs. 20,000
and amount of dividend = 20,000 x \(\frac { 3 }{ 100 }\) = Rs. 600
B’s investment = Rs. 16,000
Face value of each share = Rs. 10
and amount of dividend = Rs. 600
Rate of dividend = \(\frac { 600 }{ 16000 }\) x 100 = 3.75 %

Question 20.

A box contains some black balls and 30 white balls. If the probability of drawing a black ball is two-fifths of white ball; find the number of black balls in the box.
Solution:
In a box, some balls are black while 30 balls are white
Let number of black balls = x
Then number of possible outcome = x + 30
Probability of drawing a black ball = \(\frac { 2 }{ 5 }\) of a white balls.
Now, In case of black ball,


Either x + 30 = 0, then x = -30 which is not possible
or x – 12 = 0, then x = 12
Hence number of black balls = 12

(i) A perfect square
(ii) Divisible by 7
Solution:
(i) The perfect squares lying between 11 and 40 and 16, 25 and 36.
So the number of possible outcomes is 3.
Total number of cards from 11 to 40 is 40 – 11 + 1 = 30
Probability that the number on the card drawn is a perfect square

So, the probability that the number on the
card drawn is a perfect square is \(\frac { 1 }{ 10 }\) .
(ii) The numbers lfom 11 to 40 that are divisible by 7 are 14, 21, 28 and 35.
So the number of possible outcomes is 4. Total number of cards from 11 to 40 is 30.
