2. The total parts in the ratio 2:6 is 2 + 6 = 8.
Step 2: Determine the value of one part.
To find the value of one part, divide the total amount by the total number of
parts:
Value of one part = Rs. 80,000 / 8 = Rs. 10,000
So, each part is worth Rs. 10,000.
Step 3: Allocate the amount according to the ratio.
Now, you can distribute the total amount based on the ratio.
For the 2 parts, allocate 2 parts X Rs. 10,000 per part = Rs. 20,000.
For the 6 parts, allocate 6 parts X Rs. 10,000 per part = Rs. 60,000.

Skilling.pk Diya.pk Stamflay.com
4. To do this, you need to convert the decimal into a fraction. Since 0.585 has
three decimal places, we'll multiply both the numerator and denominator by
1000 to remove the decimal:
0.585 = 0.585/1 = (0.585 X 1000)/(1 X 1000) = 585/1000
Step 3: Simplify the fraction.
To simplify the fraction, find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the
numerator and denominator, and then divide both by the GCD:
GCD of 585 and 1000 = 5
Divide both the numerator and denominator by 5:
(585 ÷ 5) / (1000 ÷ 5) = 117/200
So, 58.5% is equivalent to the common fraction 117/200.

13. To find the interest on Rs. 2,180 for one year at a simple interest rate of 4%,
follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert the percentage to a decimal.
Interest Rate = 4%
Interest Rate as a decimal = 4% / 100 = 0.04
Step 2: Use the simple interest formula:
Simple Interest (SI) = (Principal Amount × Rate × Time) / 100
Where:
Principal Amount (P) = Rs. 2,180
Rate (R) = 0.04 (as calculated in Step 1)
Time (T) = 1 year
0314-4646739 0332-4646739 03364646739
Skilling.pk Diya.pk Stamflay.com
14. Now, plug these values into the formula:
SI = (2,180 × 0.04 × 1) / 100
SI = (87.2) / 100
SI = Rs. 0.872
So, the interest on Rs. 2,180 for one year at a simple interest rate of 4% is Rs.
0.872.

years?
0314-4646739 0332-4646739 03364646739
Skilling.pk Diya.pk Stamflay.com
15. To calculate what Ahmed gains after 6 years when he borrows Rs. 2,00,000 at
5% simple interest and invests the same amount at 5% compounded quarterly,
you'll need to find the interest he pays on the loan and the final amount he
accumulates from the investment.
Let's start with the simple interest:
Step 1: Calculate the simple interest on the loan.
Principal Amount (P) = Rs. 2,00,000
Rate of Interest (R) = 5%
Time (T) = 6 years
Simple Interest (SI) = (P X R X T) / 100
0314-4646739 0332-4646739 03364646739
Skilling.pk Diya.pk Stamflay.com
16. SI = (2,00,000 X 5 X 6) / 100
SI = (10,00,000) / 100
SI = Rs. 10,000
Ahmed pays Rs. 10,000 in simple interest on the loan over 6 years.
Now, let's calculate the compound interest he earns from the investment:
Step 2: Calculate the compound interest.
Principal Amount (P) = Rs. 2,00,000
Rate of Interest (R) = 5% per annum (or 1.25% per quarter)
Number of Compounding Periods per Year (n) = 4 (compounded quarterly)
Time (T) = 6 years
Using the compound interest formula:
0314-4646739 0332-4646739 03364646739
Skilling.pk Diya.pk Stamflay.com
17. A = P X (1 + (R/n))^(nXT)
A = 2,00,000 X (1 + (0.05/4))^(4 X 6)
A = 2,00,000 X (1 + 0.0125)^(24)
A = 2,00,000 X (1.0125)^24
A ≈ 2,00,000 X 1.34392
A ≈ Rs. 2,68,784.01
The total amount Ahmed accumulates from the investment after 6 years is
approximately Rs. 2,68,784.01.
Now, to calculate the gain, subtract the interest paid on the loan from the
amount accumulated from the investment:
Gain = Amount Accumulated - Interest Paid
0314-4646739 0332-4646739 03364646739
Skilling.pk Diya.pk Stamflay.com
18. Gain ≈ Rs. 2,68,784.01 - Rs. 10,000
Gain ≈ Rs. 2,58,784.01
So, Ahmed gains approximately Rs. 2,58,784.01 after 6 years.
Q.5 (a) Calculate the difference between compound interest and simple

0314-4646739 0332-4646739 03364646739
Skilling.pk Diya.pk Stamflay.com
19. Simple Interest (SI) is calculated using the formula:
SI = (P X R X T) / 100
Where:
P = Principal amount (Rs. 3,500)
R = Rate of interest per annum (25% or 0.25 as a decimal)
T = Time in years (6 years)
SI = (3,500 X 0.25 X 6) / 100
SI = (875 X 6) / 100
SI = 525 / 100
SI = Rs. 5.25
0314-4646739 0332-4646739 03364646739
Skilling.pk Diya.pk Stamflay.com
20. Step 2: Calculate the compound interest.
Compound Interest (CI) is calculated using the formula:
Where:
P = Principal amount (Rs. 3,500)
R = Annual interest rate (25% or 0.25 as a decimal)
n = Number of times interest is compounded per year (assuming it's
compounded annually, so n = 1)
T = Time in years (6 years)
First, we calculate the amount (A) that will be in the account after 6 years:
0314-4646739 0332-4646739 03364646739
Skilling.pk Diya.pk Stamflay.com
21. Now, we can calculate the compound interest:
CI = A - P
CI = Rs. 14,619.87 - Rs. 3,500
CI ≈ Rs. 11,119.87
Step 3: Find the difference between compound interest and simple interest.
Difference = Compound Interest - Simple Interest
Difference ≈ Rs. 11,119.87 - Rs. 5.25
0314-4646739 0332-4646739 03364646739
Skilling.pk Diya.pk Stamflay.com
22. Difference ≈ Rs. 11,114.62
So, the difference between the compound interest and simple interest when
both are charged on Rs. 3,500 at an annual interest rate of 25% for 6 years is
approximately Rs. 11,114.62.
(b) 35% commission is offered to an agent by a manufacturer to sale his
old stock. The commission that agent received is of Rs.28,000. Calculate
the amount received by the manufacturer.
To calculate the amount received by the manufacturer when a 35%
commission is offered to an agent and the agent receives Rs. 28,000 as
commission, follow these steps:
Step 1: Calculate the total sale amount.
0314-4646739 0332-4646739 03364646739
Skilling.pk Diya.pk Stamflay.com
23. The agent's commission is 35% of the total sale amount, which is Rs. 28,000.
So, let "X" be the total sale amount:
35% of X = Rs. 28,000
To solve for X, you can divide both sides of the equation by 0.35 (which is
35% as a decimal):
X = Rs. 28,000 / 0.35
X = Rs. 80,000
So, the total sale amount is Rs. 80,000.
Step 2: Calculate the amount received by the manufacturer.
The manufacturer receives the total sale amount minus the agent's
commission. In this case, the manufacturer receives:
0314-4646739 0332-4646739 03364646739
Skilling.pk Diya.pk Stamflay.com
24. Amount received by the manufacturer = Total sale amount - Agent's
commission
Amount received by the manufacturer = Rs. 80,000 - Rs. 28,000
Amount received by the manufacturer = Rs. 52,000
The amount received by the manufacturer is Rs. 52,000.
