(IV) Solve the following problems.

Question 1.
The data obtained on X, the length of time in weeks that a promotional project has been in progress at a small business, and Y the percentage increase in weekly sales over the period just prior to the beginning of the campaign.

Find the equation of regression line to predict percentage increase in sales if the company has been in progress for 1.5 weeks.
Solution:
Let u = x – 3, v = y – 15


∴ Regression equation of Y on X is
(y – \(\bar{y}\)) = b_yx (x – \(\bar{x}\))
(y – 14.67) = 2.6(x – 2.5)
y – 14.67 = 2.6x – 6.5
y = 2.6x + 8.17
When x = 1.5
y = (2.6)(1.5) + 8.17
= 3.9 + 8.17
= 12.07

Question 2.
The regression equation of y on x is given by 3x + 2y – 26 = 0. Find b_yx.
Solution:
Given, regression equation of Y on X is
3x + 2y – 26 = 0
∴ 2y = -3x + 26
∴ y = \(\frac{-3}{2}\)x + 13
∴ b_yx = \(\frac{-3}{2}\)

Question 3.
If for a bivariate data \(\bar{x}\) = 10, \(\bar{y}\) = 12, v(x) = 9, σ_y = 4 and r = 0.6. Estimate y when x = 5.
Solution:
Given, V(x) = 9
∴ σ_x = 3
b_yx = \(\frac{r \cdot \sigma_{y}}{\sigma_{x}}\)
= 0.6 × \(\frac{4}{3}\)
= 0.8
∴ Regression equation of Y on X is
(y – \(\bar{y}\)) = b_yx (x – \(\bar{x}\))
(y – 12) = 0.8(5 – 10)
y – 12 = 0.8(-5)
y – 12 = -4
y = 8

Question 4.
The equation of the line of regression of y on x is v = \(\frac{2}{9} x\) and x on y is x = \(\frac{y}{2}+\frac{7}{6}\). Find (i) r (ii) \(\sigma_{y}^{2} \text { if } \sigma_{x}^{2}=4\).
Solution:

Question 5.
Identify the regression equations of x on y and y on x from the following equations.
2x + 3y = 6 and 5x + 7y – 12 = 0
Solution:

∴ Our assumption is correct
∴ Regression equation of Y on X is 2x + 3y = 6
∴ Regression equation of X on Y is 5x + 7y – 12 = 0

Question 6.
(i) If for a bivariate data b_yx = -1.2 and b_xy = -0.3 then find r.
(ii) From the two regression equations y = 4x – 5 and 3x = 2y + 5, find \(\bar{x}\) and \(\bar{y}\).
Solution:
r² = b_yx . b_xy
r² = (-1.2) × (-0.3)
r² = 0.36
r = ±0.6
Since, b_yx . b_xy are negative, r = -0.6
Also,(\(\bar{x}\), \(\bar{y}\)) is the point of intersection of the regression lines
y = 4x – 5, 3x = 2y + 5
8x – 2y = 10
3x – 2y = 5
on subtracting,
5x = 5
x = 1
Substituting x = 1 in y = 4x – 5
y = 4(1) – 5
y = -1
∴ \(\bar{x}\) = 1, \(\bar{y}\) = -1

Question 7.
The equation of the two lines of regression are 3x + 2y – 26 = 0 and 6x + y – 31 = 0. Find
(i) Means of X and Y
(ii) Correlation coefficient between X on Y
(iii) Estimate of Y for X = 2
(iv) var (X) if var (Y) = 36
Solution:
(i) Since (\(\bar{x}\), \(\bar{y}\)) is the point of intersection of regression lines
3x + 2y = 26
6x + y = 31
3x + 2y = 26 …….(i)
12x + 2y = 62 ……..(ii)
on subtracting,
-9x = -36
x = 4
Substituting x = 4 in equation (i)
3(4) + 2y = 26
2y = 14
y = 7
∴ \(\bar{x}\) = 4, \(\bar{y}\) = 7

Question 8.
Find the line of regression of X on Y for the following data:
n = 8, Σ(x_i – x)² = 36, Σ(y_i – y)² = 44, Σ(x_i – x)(y_i – y) = 24

Solution:

Regression equation of Y on X is
(y – \(\bar{y}\)) = b_yx (x – \(\bar{x}\))
(y – 36) = 3.75(x – 20)
(y – 36) = 3.75x – 75
y = 3.75x – 39

Question 10.
The following result was obtained from records of age (X) and systolic blood pressure (Y) of a group of 10 men.

and Σ(x_i – \(\bar{x}\))(y_i – \(\bar{x}\)) = 1120. Find the Prediction of blood pressure of a man of age 40 years.
Solution:

Regression equation of Y on X is
(y – \(\bar{y}\)) = b_yx (x – \(\bar{x}\))
(y – 140) = 0.7(40 – 50)
y – 140 = 0.7(-10)
y – 140 = -7
∴ y = 133

Question 11.
The equations of two regression lines are 10x – 4y = 80 and 10y – 9x = -40 Find:
(i) \(\bar{x}\) and \(\bar{y}\)
(ii) b_yx and b_xy
(iii) If var(Y) = 36, obtain var(X)

(i) Since (\(\bar{x}\), \(\bar{y}\)) is the point of intersection of regression
10x – 4y = 80 ……(i)
-9x + 10y = -40 ……..(ii)
50x – 20y = 400
-18x + 20y = -80
32x = 320
x = 10
x = 10 in equation (i)
10(10) – 4y = 80
4y = 20
y = 5
∴ \(\bar{x}\) = 10, \(\bar{y}\) = 5


(iv) r² = b_yx . b_xy = 0.36

Question 1.
From the two regression equations find r, \(\bar{x}\) and \(\bar{y}\).
4y = 9x + 15 and 25x = 4y + 17
Solution:
Given 4y = 9x + 15 and 25x = 4y + 17

Since b_yx and b_xy are positive.
∴ r = \(\frac{3}{5}\) = 0.6
(\(\bar{x}\), \(\bar{y}\)) is the point of intersection of the regression lines
9x – 4y = -15 …….(i)
25x – 4y = 17 ……….(ii)
-16x = -32
x = 2
∴ \(\bar{x}\) = 2
Substituting x = 2 in equation (i)
9(2) – 4y = -15
18 + 15 = 4y
33 = 4y
y = 33/4 = 8.25
∴ \(\bar{y}\) = 8.25

Question 2.
In a partially destroyed laboratory record of an analysis of regression data, the following data are legible:

40x – 50y = -330 …….(i)
40x – 50y = +214 ………(ii)
-32y = -544
y = 17
∴ \(\bar{y}\) = 17
8x – 10(17) + 66 = 0
8x = 104
x = 13
∴ \(\bar{x}\) = 13

Question 3.
For 50 students of a class, the regression equation of marks in statistics (X) on the marks in Accountancy (Y) is 3y – 5x + 180 = 0. The mean marks in accountancy is 44 and the variance of marks in statistics \(\left(\frac{9}{16}\right)^{t h}\) of the variance of marks in accountancy. Find the mean in statistics and the correlation coefficient between marks in two subjects.
Solution:
Given, n = 50, \(\bar{y}\) = 44
\(\sigma_{x}^{2}=\frac{9}{16} \sigma_{y}^{2}\)
∴ \(\frac{\sigma_{x}}{\sigma_{x}}=\frac{3}{4}\)
Since (\(\bar{x}\), \(\bar{y}\)) is the point intersection of the regression line.
∴ (\(\bar{x}\), \(\bar{y}\)) satisfies the regression equation.
3\(\bar{y}\) – 5\(\bar{x}\) + 180 = 0
3(44) – 5\(\bar{x}\) + 180 = 0
∴ 5\(\bar{x}\) = 132 + 180
\(\bar{x}\) = \(\frac{312}{5}\) = 62.4
∴ Mean marks in statistics is 62.4
Regression equation of X on Y is 3y – 5x + 180 = 0
∴ 5x = 3y + 180

Question 4.

Solution:

Question 6.
For a bivariate data \(\bar{x}\) = 53, \(\bar{y}\) = 28, b_yx =-1.5 and b_xy = -0.2. Estimate Y when X = 50.
Solution:
Regression equation of Y on X is
(Y – \(\bar{y}\)) = b_yx (X – \(\bar{x}\))
(Y – 28) = -1.5(50 – 53)
Y – 28 = -1.5(-3)
Y – 28 = 4.5
Y = 32.5

Question 7.
The equation of two regression lines are x – 4y = 5 and 16y – x = 64. Find means of X and Y. Also, find the correlation coefficient between X and Y.
Solution:
Since (\(\bar{x}\), \(\bar{y}\)) is the point of intersection of the regression lines.
x – 4y = 5 …..(i)
-x + 16y = 64 …….(ii)
12y = 69
y = 5.75
Substituting y = 5.75 in equation (i)
x – 4(5.75) = 5
x – 23 = 5
x = 28
∴ \(\bar{x}\) = 28, \(\bar{y}\) = 5.75
x – 4y = 5
x = 4y + 5
∴ b_xy = 4
16y – x = 64
16y = x + 64
y = \(\frac{1}{16}\)x + 4
b_yx = \(\frac{1}{16}\)
b_yx . b_xy = \(\frac{1}{16}\) × 4 = \(\frac{1}{4}\) ∈ [0, 1]
∴ Our assumption is correct
∴ r² = b_yx . b_xy
r² = \(\frac{1}{4}\)
r = ±\(\frac{1}{2}\)
Since b_yx and b_xy are positive,
∴ r = \(\frac{1}{2}\) = 0.5

(i) Mean values of X and Y.
(ii) Standard deviation of Y.
(iii) Coefficient of correlation between X and Y.
Solution:
Given \(\sigma_{x}^{2}\) = 25, ∴ σ_x = 5
(i) Since (\(\bar{x}\), \(\bar{y}\)) is the point of intersection of regression lines
-x + 5y = 22 …….(i)
64x – 45y = 22 ………..(ii)
equation (i) becomes
-9x + 45y = 198
64y – 45y = 22
55x = 220
x = 4
Substituting x = 4 in equation (i)
-4 + 5y = 22
5y = 26
∴ y = 5.2
∴ \(\bar{x}\) = 4, \(\bar{y}\) = 5.2
Regression equation of X on Y is
64x – 45y – 22
64x = 45y + 22
x = \(\frac{45}{64} y+\frac{22}{64}\)
bxy = \(\frac{45}{64}\)
(ii) Regression equation of Y on X is
5y – x = 22
5y = x + 22

(i) \(\bar{x}\)
(ii) \(\bar{y}\)
(iii) b_yx
(iv) b_xy
(v) r [Given √0.375 = 0.61]
Solution:
Since (\(\bar{x}\), \(\bar{y}\)) is the point of intersection of the regression line
2x = y + 15
4y = 3x + 25
2x – y = 15 …….(i)
3x – 4y = -25 ……..(ii)
Multiplying equation (i) by 4
8x – 4y = 60
3x – 4y = -25
on Subtracting,
5x = 85
∴ x = 17
Substituting x in equation (i)
2(17) – y = 15
34 – 15 = y
∴ y = 15

Since b_yx and b_xy are positive, ∴ r = 0.61

Question 10.
The two regression equation are 5x – 6y + 90 = 0 and 15x – 8y – 130 = 0. Find \(\bar{x}\), \(\bar{y}\), r.
Solution:
Since (\(\bar{x}\), \(\bar{y}\)) is the point of intersection of the regression lines
5x – 6y + 90 = 0 ……(i)
15x – 8y – 130 = 0
15x – 18y + 270 = 0
15x – 8y – 130 = 0
on subtracting,
-10y + 400 = 0
y = 40
Substituting y = 40 in equation (i)
5x – 6(40) + 90 = 0
5x = 150
x = 30
∴ \(\bar{x}\) = 30, \(\bar{y}\) = 40

Since b_yx and b_xy are positive

Question 11.
Two lines of regression are 10x + 3y – 62 = 0 and 6x + 5y – 50 = 0 Identify the regression equation equation of x on y. Hence find \(\bar{x}\), \(\bar{y}\), and r.
Solution:

∴ Our assumption is correct.
∴ Regression equation of X on Y is 10x + 3y – 62 = 0
r² = b_yx . b_xy
r² = \(\frac{9}{25}\)
r = ±\(\frac{3}{5}\)
Since, byx and bxy are negative, r = –\(\frac{3}{5}\) = -0.6
Also (\(\bar{x}\), \(\bar{y}\)) is the point of intersection of the regression lines
50x + 15y = 310
18x + 15y = 150
on subtracting
32x = 160
x = 5
Substituting x = 5 in 10x + 3y = 62
10(5) + 3y = 62
3y = 12
∴ y = 4
∴ \(\bar{x}\) = 5, \(\bar{y}\) = 4

Question 12.
For certain X and Y series, which are correlated the two lines of regression are 10y = 3x + 170 and 5x + 70 = 6y. Find the correlation coefficient between them. Find the mean values of X and Y.
Solution:

Since byx and bxy are positive,
r = \(\frac{3}{5}\) = 0.6
Since, (\(\bar{x}\), \(\bar{y}\)) is the point of intersection of the regression lines
3x – 10y = -170 …….(i)
5x – 6y = -70 ………(ii)
9x – 30y = -510
25x – 30y = -350
on subtracting
-16x = -160
x = 10
Substituting x = 10 in equation (i)
3(10) – 10y = -170
30 + 170 = 10y
200 = 10y
y = 20
∴ \(\bar{x}\) = 10, \(\bar{y}\) = 20

Question 13.
Regression equation of two series are 2x – y – 15 = 0 and 4y + 25 = 0 and 3x- 4y + 25 = 0. Find \(\bar{x}\), \(\bar{y}\) and regression coefficients, Also find coefficients of correlation. [Given √0.375 = 0.61]
Solution:
Since (\(\bar{x}\), \(\bar{y}\)) is the point of intersection of the regression line
2x = y + 15
4y = 3x + 25
2x – y = 15 ……(i)
3x – 4y = -15 ……..(ii)
Multiply equation (i) by 4
8x – 4y = 60
3x – 4y = -25
on subtracting,
5x = 85
x = 17
Substituting x in equation (i)
2(17) – y = 15
34 – 15 = y
y = 15
∴ \(\bar{x}\) = 17, \(\bar{y}\) = 19

∴ Our assumption is correct
r² = b_xy . b_yx
r² = \(\frac{3}{8}\) = 0.375
r = ±√o.375 = ±0.61
Since, b_yx and b_xy are positive, ∴ r = 0.61

Question 14.

Solution:
Since (\(\bar{x}\), \(\bar{y}\)) is the point intersection of the regression lines
15x – 4y = 500 ……(i)
20x – 3y = 900 …….(ii)
60x – 16y – 2000
60x – 9y = 2700
on subtracting,
-7y = -700
y = 100
Substituting y = 100 in equation (i)
15x – 4(100) = 500
15x = 900
x = 60

∴ Our assumption is correct
∴ Regression equation of Y on X is
Y = \(\frac{15}{4}\)x – 125
When x = 70
Y = \(\frac{15}{4}\) × 70 = -125
= 262.5 – 125
= 137.5 kg

Regression equation of Y on X is
(Y – \(\bar{y}\)) = b_yx (X – \(\bar{x}\))
(Y – 20) = 0.375(x – 25)
Y – 20 = 0.375x – 9.375
Y = 0.375x + 10.625
When, x = 10
Y = 0.375(10) + 10.625
= 3.75 + 10.625

(i) Regression equation of X on Y is
(X – \(\bar{x}\)) = b_xy (Y – \(\bar{y}\))
(X – 40) = 6(y – 6)
X – 40 = 6y – 36
X = 6y + 4
When y = 10
x = 6 (10) + 4
= 60 + 4
= 64 crores

(ii) Regression equation Y on X is
(Y – \(\bar{y}\)) = b_yx (X – \(\bar{x}\))

Regression equation of Y on X
(Y – \(\bar{y}\)) = b_yx (X – \(\bar{x}\))
Y – 17 = 0.4(x – 13)
Y = 0.4x + 11.8
When x = 10
Y = 0.4(10) + 11.8
= 4 + 11.8
= 15.8
Regression equation of X on Y
(X – \(\bar{x}\)) = b_xy (Y – \(\bar{y}\))
(X – 13) = 0.9(y – 17)
X – 13 = 0.9y – 15.3

Y – 70.83 = 6.6x – 32.47
∴ Y = 6.6x + 38.36

(IV) Solve the following problems.

Question 1.
A house valued at ₹ 8,00,000 is insured at 75% of its value. If the rate of premium is 0.80%. Find the premium paid by the owner of the house. If the agent’s commission is 9% of the premium, find the agent’s commission.
Solution:
Property value = ₹ 8,00,000
Policy value = 75% × 8,00,000 = ₹ 6,00,000
∵ Rate of Premium = 0.80%
∴ Amount of Premium = 0.80% × 6,00,000 = ₹ 4,800
∵ Rate of commission = 9%
∴ Agent commission = 9% × 4800 = ₹ 432

Question 2.
A shopkeeper insures his shop and godown are valued at ₹ 5,00,000 and ₹ 10,00,000 respectively for 80% of their values. If the rate of premium is 8%, find the total annual premium.
Solution:
Property value of shop = ₹ 5,00,000
∴ Policy value = 80% × 5,00,000 = ₹ 4,00,000
∵ Rate of Premium = 8%
∴ Amount of premium = 8% × 4,00,000 = ₹ 32,000
∵ Property value of Godown = ₹ 10,00,000
∴ Policy value = 80% × 10,00,000 = ₹ 8,00,000
∵ Rate of Premium = 8%
∴ Amount of Premium = 8% × 8,00,000 = ₹ 64,000
∴ Total annual Premium = 64,000 + 32,000 = ₹ 96,000

Question 3.
A factory building is insured for \(\left(\frac{5}{6}\right)^{\text {th }}\) of its value at a rate of premium of 2.50%. If the agent is paid a commission of ₹ 2,812.50, which is 7.5% of the premium, find the value of the building.
Solution:
Let the Property value be ₹ x
∴ Policy value = ₹ \(\frac{5 x}{6}\)
∵ Rate of premium = 2.50%
∴ Amount of premium = \(\frac{5 x}{6}\) × 2.50% = ₹ \(\frac{x}{48}\)
∵ Rate of Agent commission = 7.5%
∴ Agent commission = 7.5% × \(\frac{x}{48}\)
∴ 2812.50 = \(\frac{x}{640}\)
∴ 2812.50 × 640 = x
∴ x = ₹ 18,00,000
∴ Value of the building is ₹ 18,00,000.

Question 4.
A merchant takes a fire insurance policy to cover 80% of the value of his stock. Stock worth ₹ 80,000 was completely destroyed in a fire. While the rest of the stock was reduced to 20% of its value. If the proportional compensation under the policy was ₹ 67,200, find the value of the stock.
Solution:
Let the Property value be ₹ x
∴ Policy value 80% × x = ₹ \(\frac{4 x}{5}\)
∵ Complete loss = ₹ 80,000
∴ Partial loss = 20% × (x – 8,00,000) = \(\frac{x-80,000}{5}\)
∴ Total loss = 80,000 + \(\frac{x-80,000}{5}\) = \(\frac{x}{5}\) + 64,000
∵ Claim = ₹ 67,200

∴ x = ₹ 1,00,000
∴ The value of the stock is ₹ 1,00,000.

Question 5.
A 35-year old person takes a policy for ₹ 1,00,000 for a period of 20 years. The rate of premium is ₹ 76 and the average rate of bonus is ₹ 7 per thousand p.a. If he dies after paying 10 annual premiums, what amount will his nominee receive?
Solution:
Policy value = ₹ 1,00,000
Period of Policy = 20 years
∵ Rate of premium = ₹ 76 per thousand
∴ Amount of premium = \(\frac{76}{1,000}\) × 1,00,000 = ₹ 7,600
∴ Total Premium = 7,600 × 10 = ₹ 76,000
∴ Rate of Bonus = ₹ 7 per thousand p.a
∴ Total Bonus = \(\frac{7}{1,000}\) × 1,00,000 = ₹ 7,000
∴ Amount received by Nominee = Policy value + Bonus earned
= 1,00,000 + 7,000
= ₹ 1,07,000

Question 6.
15,000 articles costing ₹ 200 per dozen were insured against fire for ₹ 1,00,000. If 20% of the articles were burnt completely and 2,400 other articles were damaged to the extent of 80% of their value, find the amount that can be claimed under the policy.
Solution:
Total Articles = 15,000
∴ Property value = \(\frac{15,000}{12}\) × 200 = 2,50,000
∵ Policy value = ₹ 1,00,000
∴ Complete loss = 20% × 2,50,000 = ₹ 50,000
∴ Partial loss = 80% × \(\frac{2,400}{12}\) × 200 = ₹ 3,20,000
∴ Total loss = 32,000 + 50,000 = ₹ 82,000
∴ Claim = \(\frac{\text { Policy value }}{\text { Property value }}\) × Loss
= \(\frac{1,00,000}{2,50,000}\) × 82,000
= ₹ 32,800

Question 7.
For what amount should a cargo worth ₹ 25,350 be insured so that in the event of a total loss, its value, as well as the cost of insurance, may be recovered when the rate of premium is 2.5%.
Solution:
Let the policy value be ₹ 100 which includes the cost of insurance and premium
∴ Property value = 100 – 2.50 = ₹ 97.50
If the value of the cargo is ₹ 97.50, then the policy value is ₹ 100.
If the value of the cargo is ₹ 25,350, then
Policy value = \(\frac{100 \times 25,350}{97.50}\) = ₹ 26,000

Question 8.
A cargo of grain is insured at \(\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)\)% to cover 70% of its value. ₹1,008 is the amount of premium paid. If the grain is worth ₹ 12 per kg, how many kg of the grain did the cargo contain?
Solution:
Let the Property value be ₹ x
∴ policy value = 70% × x = ₹ \(\frac{7 x}{10}\)
∵ Rate of premium = \(\frac{3}{4}\)%
∴ Amount of premium = Rate × Policy value

∴ x = ₹ 1,92,000
∵ Rate of Jowar = ₹ 12/kg
∴ Quantity of Jowar = \(\frac{1,92,000}{12}\) = 16,000 kgs

Question 9.
4,000 bedsheets worth ₹ 6,40,000 were insured for \(\left(\frac{3}{7}\right)^{t h}\) of their value. Some of
the bedsheets were damaged in the rainy season and were reduced to 40% of their value. If the amount recovered against damage was ₹ 32,000. Find the number of damaged bedsheets.
Solution:
∵ Property value = ₹ 6,40,000
∴ Policy value = 6,40,000 × \(\frac{3}{7}\) = ₹ \(\frac{19,20,000}{7}\)
∴ Cost of one Bedsheet = \(\frac{6,40,000}{4,000}\) = ₹ 160
Let ‘x’ bedsheets be damaged.
∴ Cost of x bedsheets = ₹ 160x

∴ 875 Bedsheets damaged.

Question 10.
A property valued at ₹ 7,00,000 is insured to the extent of ₹ 5,60,000 at \(\left(\frac{5}{8}\right)\)% less 20%. Calculate the saving made in the premium. Find the amount of loss that the owner must bear, including premium, if the property is damaged to the extent of 40% of its value.
Solution:
∵ Property value = ₹ 7,00,000
∵ Policy value = ₹ 5,60,000
∵ Rate of premium = \(\frac{5}{8}\)%
∴ Amount of premium = \(\frac{5}{8}\)% × 5,60,000 = ₹ 3,500
New rate of premium = \(\frac{5}{8}\)% less 20%
= \(\frac{5}{8}\) – [20% x \(\frac{5}{8}\)]
= \(\frac{5}{8}\) – \(\frac{1}{8}\)
= \(\frac{1}{2}\)%
∴ Amount of premium = \(\frac{1}{2}\)% × 5,60,000 = ₹ 2,800
∴ Saving made in premium = 3,500 – 2,800 = ₹ 700
∴ Loss = 7,00,000 × 40% = 2,80,000
∴ Claim = \(\frac{\text { Policy value }}{\text { Property value }}\) × Loss
= \(\frac{5,60,000}{7,00,000}\) × 2,80,000
= ₹ 2,24,000
∴ Loss bear by owner = loss – claim + premium
= 2,80,000 – 2,24,000 + 2,800
= ₹ 58,800

Question 11.
Stocks in a shop and godown worth ₹ 75,000 and ₹ 1,30,000 respectively were insured through an agent who receive 15% of the premium as commission. If the shop was insured for 80% and godown for 60% of the value, find the amount of agent’s commission when the premium was 0.80% less 20%. If the entire stock in the shop and 20% stock in the godown is destroyed by fire, find the amount that can be claimed under the policy.
Solution:
∵ Rate of premium = 0.80% less 20%
= 0.80 – 20% × 0.80
= 0.80 – 0.16
= 0.64%
For Shop
∵ Property value = ₹ 75,000
∴ Policy value = 80% × 75,000 = ₹ 60,000
∴ Premium = 0.64% × 60,000 = ₹ 384
∵ Loss = ₹ 75,000
∵ Claim = \(\frac{\text { Policy value }}{\text { Property value }}\) × Loss
= \(\frac{60,000}{75,000}\) × 75,000
= ₹ 60,000
For Godown
∵ Property value = ₹ 1,30,000
∴ Policy value = 60% × 1,30,000 = ₹ 78,000
∴ Premium = 0.64% × 78,000 = ₹ 499.2
Loss = 20% × 1,30,000 = ₹ 26,000
∴ Claim = \(\frac{\text { Policy value }}{\text { Property value }}\) × Loss
= \(\frac{78,000}{1,30,000}\) × 26,000
= ₹ 15,600
Total claim = 16,600 + 60,000 = ₹ 75,600
∵ Rate of commission = 15%
∴ Agent commission = 15% × [384 + 499.2]
= 15% × 883.2
= ₹ 132.48

Question 12.
A person holding a life policy of ₹ 1,20,000 for a term of 25 years wants to discontinue after paying a premium for 8 years at the rate of ₹ 58 per thousand p.a. Find the amount of paid-up value he will receive on the policy. Find the amount he will receive if the surrender value granted is 35% of the premium paid, excluding the first year’s premium.
Solution:
Policy value = ₹ 1,20,000
∵ Rate of premium = ₹ 58 per thousand p.a.
∴ Premium for 8 years = \(\frac{8 \times 58}{1000}\) × 1,20,000 = ₹ 55,680
∴ Amount of 1st premium = \(\frac{55,680}{8}\) = ₹ 6,960
∵ Paid-up value of policy = \(\frac{\text { No of Premium paid }}{\text { Terms of policy }}\) × Policy value
= \(\frac{8}{25}\) × 1,20,000
= ₹ 38,400
∵ Surrender value = 35% × [Total premium – 1st year premium]
= 35% × [55,680 – 6,960]
= 35% × 48,720
= ₹ 17,052

Question 13.
A godown valued at ₹ 80,000 contained stock worth ₹ 4,80,000. Both were insured against fire. Godown for ₹ 50,000 and stock for 80% of its value. A part of stock worth ₹ 60,000 was completely destroyed and the rest was reduced to 60% of its value. The amount of damage to the godown is ₹ 40,000. Find the amount that can be claimed under the policy.
Solution:
For Godown
∵ Property value = ₹ 80,000
∵ Policy value = ₹ 50,000
∵ Loss = ₹ 40,000
∵ Claim = \(\frac{\text { Policy value }}{\text { Property value }}\) × Loss
= \(\frac{50,000}{80,000}\) × 40,000
= ₹ 25,000
For stock
∵ Property value = ₹ 4,80,000
∵ Policy value = 80% × 4,80,000 = ₹ 3,84,000
∵ Complete loss = ₹ 60,000
∴ Partial loss = (100 – 60)% × [4,80,000 – 60,000]
= 40% × 4,20,000
= ₹ 1,68,000
∴ Total loss = 1,68,000 + 60000 = ₹ 2,28,000
∴ Claim = \(\frac{\text { Policy value }}{\text { Property value }}\) × Loss
= \(\frac{3,84,000}{4,80,000}\) × 2,28,000
= ₹ 1,82,400
∴ Total claim = 25,000 + 1,82,400 = ₹ 2,07,400

Question 14.
Find the amount of an ordinary annuity if a payment of ₹ 500 is made at the end of every quarter for 5 years at the rate of 12% per annum compounded quarterly. [Given: (1.03)²⁰ = 1.8061]
Solution:
∵ C = ₹ 500
∵ r = 12% p.a. compounded quarterly,
∴ r = \(\frac{12}{4}\) = 3%
∵ n = 5 years
But, payment is made quarterly
∴ n = 5 × 4 = 20

Question 15.
Find the amount a company should set aside at the end of every year if it wants to buy a machine expected to cost ₹ 1,00,000 at the end of 4 years and interest rate is 5% p.a. compounded annually.
Solution:
∵ A = ₹ 1,00,000
∵ r = 5% p.a.
∴ i = \(\frac{r}{100}=\frac{5}{100}\) = 0.05
∵ n = 4 years
∵ A = \(\frac{C}{i}\left[(1+\mathrm{i})^{n}-1\right]\)
∴ 1,00,000 = \(\frac{C}{0.05}\)[(1 + 0.05)⁴ – 1]
∴ 1,00,000 × 0.05 = C [(1.05)⁴ – 1]
∴ 5,000 = C(1.2155 – 1)
∴ 5,000 = C × 0.2155
∴ \(\frac{5,000}{0.2155}\) = C
∴ C = ₹ 23,201.86

Question 16.
Find the least number of years for which an annuity of ₹ 3,000 per annum must run in order that its amount exceeds ₹ 60,000 at 10%compounded annually. [Given: (1.1)¹¹ = 2,8531, (1.1)¹² = 3.1384]
Solution:
∵ A = ₹ 60,000
∵ C = ₹ 3,000
∵ r = 10% p.a.
∴ i = \(\frac{r}{100}=\frac{10}{100}\) = 0.1
∵ A = \(\frac{C}{i}\left[(1+i)^{n}-1\right]\)
∴ 60,000 = \(\frac{3,000}{0.1}\left[(1+0.1)^{n}-1\right]\)
∴ 60,000 = 30,000[(1.1)ⁿ – 1]
∴ \(\frac{60,000}{30,000}\) + 1 = (1.1)ⁿ
∴ 2 + 1 = (1.1)ⁿ
∴ 3 = (1.1)ⁿ
Taking log
∴ log 3 = log (1.1)ⁿ
∴ log 3 = n log(1.1)
∴ \(\frac{\log 3}{\log 1.1}\) = n
∴ n = \(\frac{0.4771}{0.0414}\) = 11.52 ~ 12 years

Question 17.
Find the rate of interest compounded annually if an ordinary annuity of ₹ 20,000 per year amounts to ₹ 41,000 in 2 years.
Solution:
∵ C = ₹ 20,000
∵ A = ₹ 41,000
∵ n = 2 years

∴ r = 5% p.a.

Question 18.
A person purchases a television by paying ₹ 20,000 in cash and promising to pay ₹ 1,000 at the end of every month for the next 2 years. If money is worth 12% p.a., converted monthly. Find the cash price of the television. [Given: (1.01)^-24 = 0.7880]
Solution:
Down payment = ₹ 20,000
∵ n = 2 years
But, EMI Payable monthly
∴ n = 2 × 12 = 24
∵ r = 12% p.a. compounded monthly

∴ P = 1,00,00 × 0.2120
∴ P = ₹ 21,200
Cash price = Present value + Down payment
= 21,200 + 20,000
= ₹ 41,200

Question 19.
Find the present value of an annuity immediate of ₹ 20,000 per annum for 3 years at 10% p.a. compounded annually. [Given: (1.1)^-3 = 0.7513]
Solution:
∵ C = ₹ 20,000
∵ n = 3 years
∵ r = 10% p.a.

∴ P = 2,00,000 [1 – 0.7513]
∴ P = 2,00,000 [0.2487]
∴ P = ₹ 49,740

Question 20.
A man borrowed some money and paid it back in 3 equal installments of ₹ 2,160 each. What amount did he borrow if the rate of interest was 20% per annum compounded annually? Also, find the total interest charged. [Given: (1.2)^-3 = 0.5788]
Solution:
∵ C = ₹ 2,160
∵ n = 3
∵ r = 20% p.a.

∴ P = ₹ 6,251.04
∴ Total amount paid = 2,160 × 3 = ₹ 6,480
∴ Interest = 6,480 – 6,251.04 = ₹ 228.96

Question 21.
A company decides to set aside a certain amount at the end of every year to create a sinking fund that should amount to ₹ 9,28,200 in 4 years at 10% p.a. Find the amount to be set aside every year. [Given: (1.1)⁴ = 1.4641]
Solution:
∵ A = ₹ 9,28,200
∵ n = 4 years
∵ r = 10% p.a.

∴ 9,28,200 × 0.1 = C[1.4641 – 1]
∴ 92,820 = C × 0.4641
∴ \(\frac{92,820}{0.4641}\) = C
∴ C = ₹ 2,00,000

Question 22.
Find the future value after 2 years if an amount of ₹ 12,000 is invested at the end of every half-year at 12% p.a. compounded half-yearly. [Given: (1.06)⁴ = 1.2625]
Solution:
∵ n = 2 years
Payable half yearly, n = 2 × 2 = 4
∵ C = ₹ 12,000
∵ r = 12% p.a. Compounded half yearly


∴ A = 1,00,000 [1.2625 – 1]
∴ A = 1,00,000 × 0.2625
∴ A = ₹ 26,250

Question 23.
After how many years would an annuity due of ₹ 3,000 p.a. accumulated ₹ 19,324.80 at 20% p.a. compounded annually? [Given: (1.2)⁴ = 2.0736]
Solution:
∵ C = ₹ 3,000
∵ A = ₹ 9,324.80
∵ r = 20% p.a.

∴ 19,324.80 = 15,000 × 1.2[(1.2)ⁿ – 1]
∴ 19,324.80 = 18,000[(1.2)ⁿ – 1]
∴ \(\frac{19,324.80}{18,000}\) + 1 = (1.2)ⁿ
∴ 1.0736 + 1 = (1.2)ⁿ
∴ 2.0736 = (1.2)ⁿ
∴ (1.2)⁴ = (1.2)ⁿ
∴ n = 4 years

Question 24.
Some machinery is expected to cost 25% more over its present cost of ₹ 6,96,000 after 20 yeas. The scrap value of the machinery will realize ₹ 1,50,000. What amount should be set aside at the end of every year at 5% p.a. compound interest for 20 years to replace the machinery? [Given: (1.05)²⁰ = 2655]
Solution:
Present cost = ₹ 6,96,000
Expected cost = 25% × 6,96,000 + 6,96,000
= 1,74,000 + 6,96,000
= ₹ 8,70,000
∴ Scrap value = ₹ 1,50,000
∴ Sinking fund = 8,70,000 – 1,50,000 = ₹ 7,20,000
∴ A = ₹ 7,20,000, n = 20 years, r = 5% p.a.

∴ 7,20,000 × 0.05 = C[(1.05)²⁰ – 1]
∴ 36,000 = C[2.655 – 1]
∴ 36,000 = C × 1.655
∴ \(\frac{36,000}{1.655}\) = C
∴ C = ₹ 21,752.27

Solution:
∵ C = ₹ 20,000
∵ A = ₹ 2,60,000
∵ n = 3 years

∴ 13i = 3i + 3 i² + i³
∴ 13i = i(3 + 3i + i²)
∴ 13 = 3 + i + i²
∴ i² + 3i + 3 – 13 = 0
∴ i² + 3i – 10 = 0
∴ (i + 5) (i – 2) = 0
∴ i + 5 = 0 or i – 2 = 0
∴ i = -5 or i = 2
∵ Rate of interest cannot be negative
∴ i = 2 is accepted
∴ \(\frac{r}{100}\) = 2
∴ r = 200% p.a.

Question 10.

Solution:
∵ C = 7500
∵ A = 71,655
∵ r = 10% p.a.


∴ 0.331 + 1 = (1.1)ⁿ
∴ 1.331 = (1.1)ⁿ
∴ (1.1)³ = (1.1)ⁿ
∴ n = 3 years

Question 11.
Find the accumulated value of annuity due of ₹ 1,000 p.a. for 3 years at 10% p.a. compounded annually. [Given: (1.1)³ = 1.331]
Solution:
∵ C = ₹ 1,000
∵ n = 3 years
∵ r = 10% p.a.

∴ A’ = 10,000 × 1.1[(1.1)³ – 1]
∴ A’ = 11,000 [1.331 – 1]
∴ A’ = 11,000 × 0.331
∴ A’ = ₹ 3,641

Question 12.
A person plans to put ₹ 400 at the beginning of each year for 2 years in a deposit that gives interest at 2% p.a. compounded annually. Find the amount that will be accumulated at the end of 2 years. [Given: (1.02)² = 1.0404]
Solution:
∵ C = ₹ 400
∵ r = 2% p.a.


= 20,000 (1.02) (1.0404 – 1)
= 20,400 [0.0404]
= ₹ 824.16

Question 13.
Find the present value of an annuity due of ₹ 600 to be paid quarterly at 32% p.a. compounded quarterly. [Given (1.08)^-4 = 0.7350]
Solution:
∵ C = ₹ 600
∵ n = 1 year
∴ But invested every quarterly
∴ n = 1 × 4 = 4
∵ r = 32% p.a. compounded quarterly

= 7,500(1.08) [1 – 0.7350]
= 8,100 [0.2650]
= ₹ 2,146.5

Question 14.
An annuity immediate is to be paid for some years at 12% p.a. The present value of the annuity is ₹ 10,000 and the accumulated value is ₹ 20,000. Find the amount of each annuity payment.
Solution:
∵ r = 12% p.a.
∴ i = \(\frac{r}{100}=\frac{12}{100}\) = 0.12
∵ P = ₹ 10,000
∵ A = ₹ 20,000
∵ \(\frac{1}{P}-\frac{1}{A}=\frac{i}{C}\)

∴ C = 0.12 × 20,000
∴ C = ₹ 2,400

Question 15.
For an annuity immediate paid for 3 years with interest compounded at 10% p.a. the present value is ₹ 24,000. What will be the accumulated value after 3 years? [Given (1.1)³ = 1.331]
Solution:
∵ n = 3 years
∵ P = ₹ 24,000
∵ r = 10% p.a.
∴ i = \(\frac{r}{100}=\frac{10}{100}\) = 0.1
∵ A = P(1 + i)ⁿ
∴ A = 24,000 [1 + 0.1]³
∴ A = 24,000 × (1.1)³
∴ A = 24,000 × 1.331
∴ A = ₹ 31,944

Question 16.
A person sets up a sinking fund in order to have ₹ 1,00,000 after 10 years. What amount should be deposited bi-annually in the account that pays him 5% p.a. compounded semi-annually? [Given: (1.025)²⁰ = 1.675]
Solution:
∴ A = ₹ 1,00,000
∴ n = 10 years
But, invested half yearly
∴ n = 10 × 2 = 20
∵ r = 5% p.a. compounded half yearly
∴ r = \(\frac{r}{2}=\frac{5}{2}\) = 2.5%
∴ i = \(\frac{r}{100}=\frac{2.5}{100}\) = 0.025

∴ 2,500 = C[1.675 – 1]
∴ 2,500 = C × 0.675
∴ \(\frac{2,500}{0.675}\) = C
∴ C = ₹ 3,703.70

Question 1.
Find the premium on a property worth ₹ 25,00,000 at 3% if
(i) the property is fully insured
(ii) the property is insured for 80% of its value.
Solution:
Case-1
Property value = ₹ 25,00,000
Rate of Premium = 3%
Policy Value = ₹ 25,00,000
∴ Amount of Premium = 3% × 25,00,000 = ₹ 75,000
Case-2
Property Value = ₹ 25,00,000
Policy value = 80% × 25,00,000 = ₹ 20,00,000
Rate of Premium = 3%
∴ Amount of Premium = 3% × 20,00,000 = ₹ 60,000

Question 2.
A shop is valued at ₹ 3,60,000 for 75% of its value. If the rate of premium is 0.9%, find the premium paid by the owner of the shop. Also, find the agents commission if the agent gets commission at 15% of the premium.
Solution:
Property Value = ₹ 3,60,000
Policy Value = 75% × 3,60,000 = ₹ 2,70,000
Rate of Premium = 0.9%
∴ Amount of Premium = 0.9% × 2,70,000 = ₹ 2,430
Rate of Commission = 15%
∴ Amount of Commission = 15% × 2,430 = ₹ 364.5

Question 3.
A person insures his office valued at ₹ 5,00,000 for 80% of its value. Find the rate of premium if he pays ₹ 13,000 as premium. Also, find agent’s commission at 11%.
Solution:
Property Value = ₹ 5,00,000
Policy Value = 80% × 5,00,000 = ₹ 4,00,000
Amount of Premium = ₹ 13000
Let the rate of Premium be x%
Amount of premium = Rate × Policy Value
∴ 13000 = x% × 4,00,000
∴ \(\frac{13,000}{4,00,000}=\frac{x}{100}\)
∴ \(\frac{13,000 \times 100}{4,00,000}\) = x
∴ x = 3.25%
Rate of commission = 11%
∴ Amount of Commission = 11% × 13,000 = ₹ 1,430

Question 4.
A building is insured for 75% of its value. The annual premium at 0.70 percent amounts to ₹ 2625. If the building is damaged to the extent of 60% due to fire, how much can be claimed under the policy?
Solution:
Let the Property Value of building be ₹ x
Policy Value = 75% × x = 0.75x
Rate of Premium = 0.70%
Amount of Policy = Rate × Policy Value
2625 = 0.70% × 0.75x
\(\frac{2625}{0.75}\) = 0.70% × x
3520 = \(\frac{0.70}{100}\) × x
\(\frac{3500 \times 100}{0.70}\) = x
x = ₹ 5,00,000
∴ Damage = 60% × Property Value
= \(\frac{60}{100}\) × 5,00,000
= ₹ 3,00,000
∴ Policy Value = 0.75 × 3,00,000 = ₹ 2,25,000
∴ Claim = \(\frac{\text { Policy value }}{\text { Property value }}\) × Loss
= \(\frac{2,25,000}{5,00,000}\) × 3,00,000
= ₹ 1,35,000

Question 5.
A stock worth ₹ 7,00,000 was insured for ₹ 4,50,000. Fire burnt stock worth ₹ 3,00,000 completely and damaged there remaining stock to the extent of 75% of its value. What amount can be claimed undertaken policy?
Solution:
Property Value = ₹ 7,00,000
Policy Value = ₹ 4,50,000
Complete Loss = 3,00,000
Partial loss = 75% × [7,00,000 – 3,00,000]
= \(\frac{75}{100}\) × 4,00,000
= ₹ 3,00,000
∴ Total loss = ₹ 3,00,000 + ₹ 3,00,000 = ₹ 6,00,000
∴ Claim = \(\frac{\text { Policy value }}{\text { Property value }}\) × Loss
= \(\frac{4,50,000}{7,00,000}\) × 6,00,000
= ₹ 3,85,714.29

A cargo of rice was insured at 0.625 % to cover 80% of its value. The premium paid was ₹ 5,250. If the price of rice is ₹ 21 per kg. find the quantity of rice (in kg) in the cargo.
Solution:
Let Property Value be ₹ x
Policy Value = 80% × x = ₹ 0.8x
Rate of Policy = 0.625%
Amount of Premium = Rate × Policy value
∴ 5250 = 0.625% × 0.8x
∴ 5250 = 0.005x
∴ x = \(\frac{5250}{0.005}\)
∴ x = ₹ 10,50,000
Rate of Rice = ₹ 21/kg
∴ Quantity of Rice (in kg) = \(\frac{\text { Total value }}{\text { Rate of Rice }}\)
= \(\frac{10,50,000}{21}\)
= 50,000 kgs

Question 7.
60,000 articles costing ₹ 200 per dozen were insured against fire for ₹ 2,40,000. If 20% of the articles were burnt and 7,200 of the remaining articles were damaged to the extent of 80% of their value, find the amount that can be claimed under the policy.
Solution:
No of articles = 60,000
Cost of articles = ₹ 200/dozen
∴ Property of Value = \(\frac{60,000}{12}\) × 200 = ₹ 1o,oo,ooo
∴ Policy Value = ₹ 2,40,000
Complete Loss = 20% × 10,00,000 = ₹ 2,00,000
Partial loss = \(\frac{7200}{12}\) × 200 × 80% = ₹ 96,000
∴ Total loss = 2,00,000 + 96,000 = ₹ 2,96,000
Claim = \(\frac{\text { Policy value }}{\text { Property value }}\) × Loss
= \(\frac{2,40,000}{10,00,000}\) × 2,96,000
= ₹ 71,040

Question 8.
The rate of premium is 2% and other expenses are 0.075%. A cargo worth ₹ 3,50,100 is to be insured so that all its value and the cost of insurance will be recovered in the event of total loss.
Solution:
Let the Policy Value of Cargo be ₹ 100 which includes insurance and other expenses
∴ Property Value = 100 – [2 + 0.075] = ₹ 97.925
If Policy Value is ₹ 100, then Property Value is ₹ 97.925
If Property Value is ₹ 3,50,100
Then policy Value = \(\frac{100 \times 3,50,100}{97.925}\) = ₹ 3,57,518.51

Question 9.
A property worth ₹ 4,00,000 is insured with three companies. A, B, and C. The amounts insured with these companies are ₹ 1,60,000, ₹ 1,00,000 and ₹ 1,40,000 respectively. Find the amount recoverable from each company in the event of a loss to the extent of ₹ 9,000.
Solution:
Property Value = ₹ 4,00,000
Loss = ₹ 9,000
Total Value of Policies = 1,60,000 + 1,00,000 + 1,40,000 = ₹ 4,00,000
Claim = \(\frac{\text { Policy value }}{\text { Property value }}\) × Loss
Claim of company A = \(\frac{1,60,000}{40,000}\) × 9,000 = ₹ 3,600
Claim of company B = \(\frac{1,00,000}{4,00,000}\) × 9,000 = ₹ 2,250
Claim of company C = \(\frac{1,40,000}{4,00,000}\) × 9,000 = ₹ 3,150

Question 10.
A car valued at ₹ 8,00,000 is insured for ₹ 5,00,000. The rate of premium is 5% less 20%. How much will the owner bear including the premium if value of the ear is reduced to 60% of its original value.
Solution:
Property Value = ₹ 8,00,000
Policy Value = ₹ 5,00,000
Rate of Premium = 5% less 20%
= 5% – 20% × 5%
= (5 – 1)%
= 4%
Amount of Premium = 4% × 5,00,000 = ₹ 20,000
Loss = [100 – 60]% × Property Value
= 40% × 8,00,000
= ₹ 3,20,000
Claim = \(\frac{\text { Policy value }}{\text { Property value }}\) × Loss
= \(\frac{5,00,000}{8,00,000}\) × 3,20,000
= ₹ 2,00,000
Loss bear by owner = Loss – claim + Premium
= 3,20,000 – 2,00,000 + 20,000
= ₹ 1,40,000

Question 11.
A shop and a godown worth ₹ 1,00,000 and ₹ 2,00,000 respectively were insured through an agent who was paid 12% of the total premium. If the shop was insured for 80% and the godown for 60% of their respective values, find the agent’s commission, given that the rate of premium was 0.80% less 20%.
Solution:
Rate of Premium = 0.80% Less 20%
= 0.80% – 20% × 0.80%
= (0.80 – 0.16)%
= 0.64%
For Shop
Property Value = ₹ 1,00,000
Policy Value = 80% × 1,00,000 = ₹ 80,000
Premium = 0.64% × 80,000 = ₹ 512
For Godown
Property Value = ₹ 2,00,000
Policy Value = 60% × 2,00,000 = ₹ 1,20,000
Premium = 0.64% × 1,20,000 = ₹ 768
∴ Total Premium = 512 + 768 = ₹ 1,280
Rate of Commission = 12%
∴ Agent Commission = 12% × 1,280 = ₹ 153.6

Question 12.
The rate of premium on a policy of ₹ 1,00,000 is ₹ 56 per thousand per annum. A rebate of ₹ 0.75 per thousand is permitted if the premium is paid annually. Find the net amount of premium payable if the policy holder pays the premium annually.
Solution:
Policy Value = ₹ 1,00,000
Rate of Premium = ₹ 56 per thousand p.a
Rate of Rebate = ₹ 0.75 per thousand p.a
Premium is paid annually
∴ Net rate of = 56 – 0.75 = ₹ 55.25 per thousand p.a.
∴ Net Amount ot Premium = \(\frac{1,00,000}{1000}\) × 55.25 = ₹ 5,525

Question 13.

Find the total amount that can be claimed.
Solution:
For Warehouse
Property Value = ₹ 40,000
Policy Value = ₹ 16,000
Loss = ₹ 8,000
Claim = \(\frac{\text { Policy value }}{\text { Property value }}\) × Loss
= \(\frac{16,000}{40,000}\) × 8,000
= ₹ 3,200
For Goods
Property Value = ₹ 2,40,000
Policy Value = 90% × 2,40,000 = ₹ 2,16,000
Complete Loss = 80,000
Partial Loss = 80% × (2,16,000 – 80,000)
= 80% × 1,36,000
= ₹ 1,08,800
Claim = \(\frac{\text { Policy value }}{\text { Property value }}\) × Loss
= \(\frac{2,16,000}{24,000}\) × 1,08,800
= ₹ 97,920
∴ Total Claim = 3,200 + 97,920 = ₹ 1,01,120

Total Bonus = \(\frac{2,00,000 \times 20}{1,000}\) = ₹ 4,000
∴ Bonus for 10 years = 4,000 × 10 = ₹ 40,000
Period of Policy = 20 years
∴ Amount of Premium = \(\frac{2,00,000}{20}\) = ₹ 10,000 p.a.
∴ Total Premium for 10 years = 10,000 × 10 = ₹ 1,00,000
∴ Paid up Value of Policy = Total premium + Total Bonus
= 1,00,000 + 40,000
= ₹ 1,40,000

(IV) Solve the following problems.

Question 1.
A salesman gets a commission of 6.5% on the total sales made by him and a bonus of 1% on sales over ₹ 50,000. Find his total income on a turnover of ₹ 75,000.
Solution:
Rate of commission = 6.5% on the total sales
∴ Commission on a turnover of ₹ 75,000
= \(\frac{6.5}{100}\) × 75,000
= ₹ 4,875
Rate of bonus = 1% on sales over ₹ 50,000
∴ Amount of bonus = \(\frac{1}{100}\) × (75,000 – 50,000) = ₹ 250
∴ Total income of the sales man = ₹ 4,875 + ₹ 250 = ₹ 5,125

Question 2.
A shop is sold at 30% profit, the amount of brokerage at the rate of \(\frac{3}{4}\)% amounts to ₹ 73,125. Find the cost of the shop.
Solution:
Rate of brokerage = \(\frac{3}{4}\)%
Amount of brokerage = ₹ 73,125
Let the selling price of the shop be ₹ 100 then the brokerage = ₹ \(\frac{3}{4}\)
Thus, if the amount of brokerage is ₹ \(\frac{3}{4}\) then the selling price of the shop is ₹ 100
If the amount of brokerage is ₹ 73,125, then the selling price of the shop is = 73125 × \(\frac{4}{3}\) × 100 = ₹ 97,50,000
The shop is sold at 30% profit
∴ If the cost of the shop is ₹ 100, then it is sold at ₹ 130
Thus, if the shop is sold at ₹ 130, then its cost price is ₹ 100
If the shop is sold at ₹ 97,50,000 then its cost price is = \(\frac{97,50,000 \times 100}{130}\) = ₹ 75,00,000
Then, the cost of the shop is ₹ 75,00,000

Question 3.
A merchant gives 5% commission and 1.5% delcredere to his agents. If the agent sells goods worth ₹ 30,600 how much does he get? How much does the merchant receive?
Solution:
Rate of commission = 5%
Total sales = ₹ 30,600
Amount of commission = \(\frac{5}{100}\) × 30,600
Rate of delcredere = 1.5%
= \(\frac{1.5}{100}\) × 30,600
= ₹ 459
Thus, the agents gets 1,530 + 459 = ₹ 1,989
And the merchant receives = 30,600 – 1,989 = ₹ 28,611

Question 4.
After deducting commission at 7\(\frac{1}{2}\)% on first ₹ 50,000 and 5% on the balance of sales made by him, an agent remits ₹ 93,750 to his principal. Find the value of goods sold by him.
Solution:
Rate of commission = 7\(\frac{1}{2}\)% on first ₹ 50,000
= \(\frac{7.5}{100}\) × 50,000
= ₹ 3,750
Let the total sales be ₹ x
Rate of commission on the balance sales = 5%
Commission on the balance sales = \(\frac{5}{100}\) × (x – 50000) = \(\frac{x}{20}\) – 2,500
Total commission = 3750 + \(\frac{x}{20}\) – 2,500 = \(\frac{x}{20}\) + 1,250
Now, the amount to be remitted to the principal = Value of goods sold – Commission of the agent
= x – (\(\frac{x}{20}\) + 1250)
= \(\frac{19x}{20}\) – 1250
The agents remits ₹ 93,750 to his principal
∴ \(\frac{19x}{20}\) – 1,250 = 93,750
∴ \(\frac{19x}{20}\) = 95,000
∴ x = ₹ 1,00,000
Thus, the value of the goods sold by the agent is ₹ 1,00,000

Question 5.
The present worth of ₹ 11,660 due 9 months hence is ₹ 11,000. Find the rate of interest.
Solution:
Given, PW = ₹ 11,000, SD = ₹ 11,660
n = \(\frac{9}{12}\) year = \(\frac{3}{4}\) year
We have,

∴ The rate of interest is 8% p.a.

Question 6.
An article is marked at ₹ 800, a trader allows a discount of 2.5% and gains 20% on the cost. Find the cost price of the article?
Solution:
Marked price of the article = ₹ 800
Rate of discount = 2.5%
Amount of discount = \(\frac{2.5}{100}\) × 800 = ₹ 20
∴ Selling price of the article = 800 – 20 = ₹ 780
Now, given, gain = 20%
Let cost price of the article be ₹ 100, then
The selling price of the article is ₹ 120
Thus if cost price of the articles is ₹ x
Then the selling price is ₹ 780
∴ x = \(\frac{780 \times 100}{120}\)
∴ x = 650
∴ Cost price of the article is ₹ 650

Question 7.
A salesman is paid a fixed monthly salary plus commission on the sales. If on sale of ₹ 96,000 and ₹ 1,08,000 in two successive months he receives in all ₹ 17,600 and ₹ 18,800 respectively. Find his monthly salary and rate of commission paid to him.
Solution:
Let the monthly salary of the salesman be ₹ x
And the rate of commission be y%
Income = monthly salary + commission on the sales
17600 = x + \(\frac{y}{100}\) × 96,000
∴ 17600 = x + 960y ………(1)
and 18800 = x + \(\frac{y}{100}\) × 108000
∴ 18,800 = x + 1080y ………(2)
Subtracting equation (1) from equation (2), we get
1,200 = 120y
∴ y = 10
Substituting y = 10 in (1), we get
17,600 = x + 960(10)
∴ x = 17,600 – 9,600 = 8,000
∴ Salary of the salesman = ₹ 8,000
Rate of commission = 10%

Question 8.
A merchant buys some mixers at a 15% discount on catalogue price. The catalogue price is ₹ 5,500 per price of the mixer. The freight charges amount to 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)% on the catalogue price. The merchant sells each mixer at a 5% discount on the catalogue price. His net profit is ₹ 41,250, Find the number of mixers.
Solution:
Catalogue price of a mixer = ₹ 5,500
Trade discount = 15% on catalogue price
= \(\frac{15}{100}\) × 5,500
= ₹ 825
Freight charges = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)% of the catalogue price
= \(\frac{5}{2} \times \frac{1}{100} \times 5,500\)
= ₹ 137.5
∴ Cost price of a mixer for the merchant = 5,500 – 825 + 137.5 = 4,812,5
Catalogue price = ₹ 5,500
Rate of discount = 5%
∴ Selling price of one mixer = 5500 – \(\frac{5}{100}\) × 5,500 = ₹ 5,225
∴ Profit on one mixer = 5,225 – 4,812.5 = ₹ 412.5
Now, total profit = ₹ 41,250
∴ Number of mixers = \(\frac{41,250}{412.5}\) = 100
Thus the number of mixers is 100.

Question 9.
A bill is drawn for ₹ 7,000 on 3rd May for 3 months and is discounted on 25th May at 5.5% Find the present worth.
Solution:
Face value of the bill = ₹ 7,000
Date of drawing = 3rd May
Period = 3 months
Normal due date = 3rd August
Legal due date = 6th August
Rate of interest = 5.5%
Date of discounting = 25th May
Unexpired period (number of days from date of discounting to legal due date)

∴ Bankers discount = 7,000 × \(\frac{73}{365} \times \frac{5.5}{100}\) = ₹ 77
Also PW = SD – BD
= 7,000 – 77
= ₹ 6,923
∴ Present worth is ₹ 6,923

Question 10.
A bill was drawn on 14th April 2005 for ₹ 3,500 and was discounted on 6th July 2005 at 5% per annum. The banker paid ₹ 3,465 for the bill. Find the period of the bill.
Solution:
Face value of the bill = ₹ 3,500
Date of drawing = 14/04/2005
Date of discount = 06/07/2005
Rate of interest = 5%
Cash value = ₹ 3,465
Bankers discount = Face value – Cash value
= 3,500 – 3,465
= ₹ 35
Let the unexpired days be n days
∴ BD = \(\frac{\mathrm{FV} \times n \times r}{365 \times 100}\)
∴ 35 = \(\frac{3,500 \times n \times 5}{365 \times 100}\)
∴ n = 73 days
Thus, legal due date is 73 days from the date of discounting

∴ Legal due date = 17/09/2005
∴ Nominal due date = 14/09/2005
∴ The period of the bill is 5 months

Question 11.
The difference between true discount and banker’s discount on 6 months hence at 4% p.a. is ₹ 80. Find the true discount, banker’s discount, and amount of the bill.
Solution:
BG = BD – TD
∴ BG = ₹ 80
Also BG = \(\frac{\mathrm{TD} \times n \times r}{100}\)
∴ 80 = \(\frac{\mathrm{TD} \times 6 \times 4}{12 \times 100}\)
∴ TD = \(\frac{80 \times 100}{2}\)
∴ TD = ₹ 4,000
Now BD = TD + BG
= 4,000 + 80
= ₹ 4,080
Also, BD = \(\frac{\mathrm{FV} \times n \times r}{100}\)
∴ 4,080 = \(\frac{\mathrm{FV} \times 6 \times 4}{12 \times 100}\)
∴ FV = \(\frac{4,080 \times 100}{2}\)
∴ FV = ₹ 2,04,000
Amount of the bill = ₹ 2,04,000

Question 12.
A manufacturer makes a clear profit of 30% on the cost after allowing a 35% discount. If the cost of production rises by 20%, by what percentage should he reduce the rate of discount so as to make the same rate of profit keeping his list prices unaltered.
Solution:
Rate of discount = 35%
Let the list price be ₹ 100.
Then discount at 35% = ₹ 35
∴ Net selling price = 100 – 35 = ₹ 65 ……..(1)
The manufacturer makes a clear profit of 30% on the cost after allowing a 35% Discount.
Let the cost be ₹ 100.
Then selling price at 30% profit is 100 + 30 = ₹ 130.
Thus, if the net selling price is ₹ 130, then the cost price is ₹ 100.
But, the net selling price is ₹ 130, then the cost price is ₹ 65 ……[from (1)]
∴ The cost price is \(\frac{65}{130} \times 100\) = ₹ 50
Hence, we have,

Now, the cost of production has increased by 20%.
Let the old cost price be ₹ 100.
∴ The new cost price is ₹ 120.
But, the old cost price is ₹ 50.
∴ The new cost price is = \(\frac{50}{100} \times 120\) = ₹ 60.
The old net price is ₹ 65.
Now 20% of ₹ 65 = \(\frac{20}{100} \times 65\) = ₹ 13
∴ New net price = 65 + 13 = ₹ 78
Hence, we have

Now, 100 – 78 = ₹ 22
Thus, the rate of discount should be reduced by 22%, The original rate of discount is 35%.
Hence, the reduction in discount should be (35 – 22)% = 13%
so as to make the same rate of profit, keeping the list price unaltered.

Question 13.
A trader offers a 25% discount on the catalogue price of the radio and yet makes a 20% profit. If he gains ₹ 160 per radio, what must be the catalogue price of the radio?
Solution:
Rate of discount = 25% on the catalogue price of a radio.
Let the catalogue price of the radio be ₹ 100.
Then, the discount on a radio = ₹ 25.
Net selling price = 100 – 25 = ₹ 75.
He makes a profit of 20%.
Let the cost price be ₹ 100.
Then, at 20% profit, net selling price = ₹ 120.
Thus, if net SP is ₹ 120, then cost price is ₹ 100.
But, the net SP is ₹ 75.
∴ The cost price is \(\frac{75}{120}\) × 100 = \(\frac{750}{12}\) = ₹ 62.50
∴ Profit on a radio set = 75 – 62.5 = ₹ 12.50
Thus, if the profit on a radio set is ₹ 12.50 then its catalogue price is ₹ 100.
But the profit on a radio set is ₹ 160.
∴ The catalogue price of radio = \(\frac{160}{12.50}\) × 100
= 12.80 × 100
= ₹ 1,280
∴ Thus, the catalogue price of the radio is ₹ 1280

Question 14.
A bill of ₹ 4,800 was drawn on 9th March 2006 at 6 months and was discounted on 19th April 2006 for 6\(\frac{1}{4}\)% p.a. How much does the banker charge and how much does the holder receive?
Solution:
Face value of the bill = ₹ 4.800
Date of drawing = 09/03/2006
Period of the bill = 6 months
Normal due date = 09/09/2006
Legal due date = 12/09/2006
Rate of discount = 6\(\frac{1}{4}\)% = 6.25%
Now, for the unexpired

Thus the banker charges ₹ 120
Amount received by the holder = 4,800 – 120 = ₹ 4,680

Question 15.
A bill of ₹ 65,700 drawn on July 10 for 6 months was discounted for ₹ 65,160 at 5% p.a. On what day was the bill discounted?
Solution:
BD = FV – Cash value
= 65,700 – 65,160
= ₹ 540
Let the unexpired days be x days
BD = \(\frac{\mathrm{FV} \times n \times r}{100}\)
∴ 540 = \(\frac{65,700 \times x \times 5}{365 \times 100}\)
∴ x = 60 days
The unexpired days = 60 days
Date-of drawing = 10th July
Period of the bill = 6 months
Nominal due date = 10th January (next year)
Legal due date = 13th January (next year)
Then the date of discount is 60 days before, the legal due date

∴ The date of discounting is 14th November

Question 16.
An agent sold a car and charged a 3% commission on the sale value. If the owner of the car received ₹ 48,500, find the sale value of the car. If the agent charged 2% from the buyer, find his total remuneration.
Solution:
Let the sale value of the car be ₹ x
Rate of commission of the agent = 3%
Since the owner received ₹ 48,500 after agent has charged his commission
x – \(\frac{3 x}{100}\) = 48500
∴ \(\frac{97 x}{100}\) = 48500
∴ x = \(\frac{48,500 \times 100}{97}\)
∴ x = ₹ 50,000
∴ Sale value of the car = ₹ 50,000
Against commission received from the owner = \(\frac{3}{100}\) × 50,000 = ₹ 1500
Against commission received from the buyer = \(\frac{2}{100}\) × 50,000 = ₹ 1000
∴ Agents total remuneration = 1,500 + 1,000 = ₹ 2,500

Question 17.
An agent is paid a commission of 4% on cash sales and 6% on credit sales made by him. If on the sale of ₹ 51,000 the agent claims a total commission of ₹ 2,700, find the sales made by him for cash and on credit.
Solution:
Total sales = ₹ 51,000
Let eash sales be ₹ x
∴ Credit sales = ₹ (51,000 – x)
Agent’s commission on cash sales = 4%
= \(\frac{4}{100}\) × x
= \(\frac{4x}{100}\)
Commission on credit sales = 6%
= \(\frac{6}{100}\)(51,000 – x)
Given total commission = ₹ 2,700

∴ Cash sales = ₹ 18,000
∴ Credit sales = 51,000 – 18,000 = ₹ 33,000

Solution:
Given, SD = ₹ 10,920
n = \(\frac{6}{12}\) year = \(\frac{1}{2}\) year
r = 8%
We have,

Thus the present worth is ₹ 10,500

Question 2.
What is the sum due of ₹ 8,000 due 4 months at 12.5% simple interest?
Solution:
Given, PW = ₹ 8,000, n = \(\frac{4}{12}\) year = \(\frac{1}{3}\) year, r = 12.5%
We have,

Thus, the sum due is ₹ 8,333.33

Question 3.
The true discount on the sum due 8 months hence at 12% p.a. is ₹ 560. Find the sum due and present worth of the bill.
Solution:
Given, TD = ₹ 560, n = \(\frac{8}{12}\) year = \(\frac{2}{3}\) year, r = 12%
We have,
TD = \(\frac{\mathrm{PW} \times n \times r}{100}\)
∴ 560 = \(\frac{\mathrm{PW} \times 2 \times 12}{3 \times 100}\)
∴ PW = 560 × \(\frac{25}{2}\) = ₹ 7,000
Now, SD = PW + TD
= 7,000 + 560
= ₹ 7,560

Question 4.
The true discount on a sum is \(\frac{3}{8}\) of the sum due at 12% p.a. Find the period of the bill.
Solution:

8 × n × 12 = 3(100 + n × 12)
96n = 300 + 36n
60n = 300
∴ n = 5
∴ Period of the bill = 5 years.

Question 5.

PW of one book = \(\frac{x}{21}\)
SD of one book = \(\frac{x}{20}\)

Thus, the rate of interest is 10%.

Question 6.
Find the true discount, Banker’s discount, and Banker’s gain on a bill of ₹ 4,240 due 6 months hence at 9% p.a.
Solution:

And, Banker’s Gain (BG) = BD – TD
= 190.80 – 182.58
= ₹ 8.22

Question 7.
The true discount on a bill is ₹ 2,200 and bankers discount is ₹ 2,310. If the bill is due 10 months, hence, find the rate of interest.
Solution:
Given, TD = ₹ 2,200, BD = ₹ 2,310
n = \(\frac{10}{12}=\frac{5}{6}\) year

∴ \(\frac{r}{120}=\frac{1}{20}\)
∴ r = 6%
Thus, rate of interest is 6%

Question 8.
A bill of ₹ 6,395 drawn on 19th January 2015 for 8 months was discounted on 28th February 2015 at 8% p.a. interest. What is the banker’s discount? What is the cash value of the bill?
Solution:
Face value = ₹ 6,395
Date of drawing = 19/01/2015
Period of the bill = 8 months
Nominal Due date = 19/09/2015
Legal due date = 22/09/2015
Date of discounting = 28/02/2015
Now, the unexpired period = Legal due date – Date of discounting
= 22/09/2015 – 28/02/2015
= days (as shown below)

Cash Value = FV – BD
= 6,395 – 313.12
= ₹ 6,621.38

Question 9.
A bill of ₹ 8,000 drawn on 5th January 1998 for 8 months was discounted for ₹ 7,680 on a certain date. Find the date on which it was discounted at 10% p.a.
Solution:
Bankers discount (BD) = FV – cash value
= 8,000 – 7,680
= ₹ 320
Let the unexpired period be x days
∴ BD = \(\frac{\mathrm{FV} \times x \times r}{365 \times 100}\)
∴ 320 = \(\frac{8,000 \times x \times 10}{365 \times 100}\)
∴ x = 146 days
∴ The unexpired days = 146 days
Date of drawing = 05/01/1998
Period of bill = 8 months
Nominal due date = 05/09/1998
Legal due date = 08/09/1998
Thus, the date of discounting is 146 days before the legal due date

∴ Date of discounting of the bill is 15th April 1998

Question 10.
A bill drawn on 5th June for 6 months was discounted at the rate of 5% p.a. on 19th October. If the cash value of the bill is ₹ 43,500, find the face value of the bill.
Solution:
Date of drawing = 5th June
Period of bill = 6 months
Nominal due date = 5th December
Legal due date = 8th December
Date of discounting = 19th October
Rate of interest = 5% p.a.
Let the face value of the bill be ₹ x
The unexpired period

Question 11.
A bill was drawn on 14th April for ₹ 7,000 and was discounted on 6th July at 5% p.a. The Banker paid ₹ 6,930 for the bill. Find the period of the bill.
Solution:
Face value = ₹ 7,000, cash value = ₹ 6,930
∴ Banker’s discount = 7,000 – 6,930 = ₹ 70
Date of drawing = 14/04
Date of discounting = 06/07
Rate of interest = 5%
Let the unexpired period = x days
∴ BD = \(\frac{7,000 \times x \times 5}{365 \times 100}\)
∴ 70 = \(\frac{70 \times x}{73}\)
∴ x = 73 days
∴ Legal due date of the bill is 73 days after the date of discounting.

∴ Legal due date = 17/09
∴ Nominal due date = 14/09
∴ Period of the bill = 5 months

Question 12.
If the difference between true discount and banker’s discount on a sum due 4 months hence is ₹ 20. Find true discount, banker’s discount and amount of bill, the rate of simple interest charged is 5% p.a.
Solution:
Banker’s gain (BG) = Banker’s discount (BD) – True Discount (TD)
∴ BG = ₹ 20
Also, BG = \(\frac{\mathrm{TD} \times n \times r}{100}\)
∴ 20 = \(\frac{\mathrm{TD} \times 4 \times 5}{12 \times 100}\)
∴ 20 = \(\frac{\mathrm{TD}}{60}\)
∴ TD = ₹ 1200
Now, BD = BG + TD
= 20 + 1,200
= ₹ 1,220
Also, BD = \(\frac{\mathrm{FV} \times n \times r}{100}\)
∴ 1,220 = \(\frac{\mathrm{FV} \times 4 \times 5}{12 \times 100}\)
∴ FV = 1,200 × 60 = ₹ 73,200
∴ Amounting the bill = ₹ 73,200

Question 13.
A bill of ₹ 51,000 was drawn on 18th February 2010 for 9 months. It was encashed on 28th June 2010 at 5% p.a. Calculate the banker’s gain and true discount.
Solution:
Face Value = ₹ 51,000
Date of drawing = 18/02/2010
Period of the bill = 9 months
Nominal due date = 18/11/2010
Legal due date = 21/11/2010
Date of discounting = 28/06/2010
Unexpired period

∴ TD = ₹ 1,000
∴ BG = BD – TD
= 1,020 – 1,000
= ₹ 20

Question 14.
A certain sum due 3 months hence is \(\frac{21}{20}\) of the present worth, what is the rate of interest.
Solution:

Question 15.
A bill of a certain sum drawn on 28th February 2007 for 8 months was encashed on 26th March 2007 for ₹ 10,992 at 14% p.a. Find the face value of the bill.
Solution:
Date drawing = 28/02/2007
Period of the bill = 8 months
Nominal due date = 28/10/2007
Legal due date = 31/10/2007
Date of discounting = 26/03/2007
Cash value = ₹ 10,992
Rate of interest = 14%
Let face value of the bill = ₹ x
Bankers discount = Face value – Cash value = x – 10,992
Also, Banker s discount = \(\frac{F V \times n \times r}{365 \times 100}\)
Where n is the unexpired days

Thus face value of the bill = ₹ 12,000

Maharashtra State Board 12th Commerce Maths Solutions Chapter 1 Commission, Brokerage and Discount Ex 1.1

Question 1.
An agent charges a 12% commission on the sales. What does he earn if the total sale amounts to ₹ 48,000? What does the seller get?
Solution:
Rate of commission = 12%
Total sales = ₹ 48,000
Agent’s commission = \(\frac {12}{100}\) × 48,000
= ₹ 5,760
Amount received by the seller = Total sales – commission
= ₹ 8,000 – ₹ 5760
= ₹ 2,240

Question 2.
A salesman receives a 3% commission on sales up to ₹ 50,000 and a 4% commission on sales over ₹ 50,000. Find his total income on the sale of ₹ 2,00,000.
Solution:
Total sales = ₹ 2,00,000
Rate of commission upto ₹ 50,000 = 3%
= \(\frac{3}{100}\) × 50,000
= ₹ 1,500
Rate of commission on the sales over ₹ 50,000 = 4%
Sales over ₹ 50,000 is 2,00,000 – 50,000 = ₹ 1,50,000
Commission on sales over ₹ 50,000 = \(\frac{4}{100}\) × 1,50,000 = ₹ 6,000
His total income = ₹ 1,500 + ₹ 6,000 = ₹ 7,500

Question 3.
Ms. Saraswati was paid ₹ 88,000 as commission on the sale of computers at the rate of 12.5%. If the price of each computer was ₹ 32,000, how many computers did she sell?
Solution:
Total commission = ₹ 88,000
Rate of commission = 12.5%
Let the number of computers sold be x
since price of each computer = ₹ 32,000
Total sales = ₹ 32,000x
Total commission = 12.5% of total sales
88,000 = \(\frac{12.5}{100}\) × 32,000x
= \(\frac{125}{1000}\) × 32,000x
x = \(\frac{88,000}{125 \times 32}\)
x = 22

Question 4.
Anita is allowed 6.5% commission on the total sales made by her, plus, a bonus of \(\frac{1}{2}\)% on the sale over ₹ 20,000. If her total commission amounts to ₹ 3,400. Find the sales made by her.
Solution:
Let the total sales made by Anita be ₹ x
Rate of commission = 6.5% of total sales
= \(\frac{6.5}{100} \times x\)
= \(\frac{65 x}{1,000}\)
= \(\frac{13 x}{200}\)

Question 5.
Priya gets a salary of ₹ 15,000 per month and a commission of 8% on sales over ₹ 50,000. If she gets ₹ 17,400 in a certain month. Find the sales made by her in that month.
Solution:
Let the total sales made by Priya be ₹ x
Salary of Priya = ₹ 15,000
Commission = Total earning – salary
= ₹ 17,400 – ₹ 15,000
= ₹ 2,400
Commission = 8% on the sales over ₹ 50,000
2400 = \(\frac{8}{100}\) (x – 50000)
\(\frac{2,400 \times 100}{8}\) = x – 50,000
30,000 = x – 50,000
30,000 + 50,000 = x
∴ x = ₹ 80,000

Question 6.
The income of the broker remains unchanged though the rate of commission is increased from 4% to 5%. Find the percentage reduction in the value of the business.
Solution:
Let the original value of business be ₹ 100
Original rate of commission = 4%
∴ Original commission = \(\frac{4}{100}\) × 100 = ₹ 4
Let the new value of business be ₹ x
The new rate of commission = 5%
∴ New commission = \(\frac{5}{100}\) × x = \(\frac{x}{20}\)
Given, original income = New income
4 = \(\frac{x}{20}\)
∴ x = ₹ 80
Thus there is 20% reduction in the value of the business.

Question 7.
Mr. Pavan is paid a fixed weekly salary plus commission based on a percentage of sales made by him. If on the sale of ₹ 68,000 and ₹ 73,000 in two successive weeks, he received in all ₹ 9,880 and ₹ 10,180. Find his weekly salary and the rate of commission paid to him.
Solution:
Let the weekly salary of Mr. Pavan be ₹ x and the rate of commission paid to him be y%
Income = Weekly salary + Commission on the sales
∴ 9,880 = x + \(\frac{y}{100}\) × 68,000
i.e. 9,880 = x + 680y …….(1)
Also, 10,180 = x + \(\frac{y}{100}\) × 73,000
i.e 10,180 = x + 730y ………(2)
Subtracting (1) from (2), we get
50y = 300
∴ y = 6
Substituting y = 6 in equation (1)
9,880 = x + 680(6) ‘
∴ 9,880 – 4,080 = x
∴ x = 5,800
Weekly salary = ₹ 5,800
Rate of commission = 6%

Question 8.
Deepak’s salary was increased from ₹ 4,000 to ₹ 5,000. The sales being the same, due to a reduction in the rate of commission from 3% to 2%, his income remained unchanged. Find his sales.
Solution:
Let Deepak’s total sales be ₹ x
Original salary of Deepak = ₹ 4,000
Original rate of commission = 3%
His new salary = ₹ 5,000
New rate of commission = 2%
Original income = New income (given)
4000 + \(\frac{3 x}{100}\) = 5000 + \(\frac{2 x}{100}\)
\(\frac{3 x}{100}-\frac{2 x}{100}\) = 5,000 – 4,000
\(\frac{x}{100}\) = 1000
x = ₹ 1,00,000
∴ His total sales = ₹ 1,00,000

Question 9.
An agent is paid a commission of 7% on cash sales and 5% on credit sales made by him. If on the sale of ₹ 1,02,000 the agent claims a total commission of ₹ 6,420, find his cash sales and credit sales.
Solution:
Total Sales = ₹ 1,02,000
Let cash sales ₹ x
∴ Credit sales = ₹ (1,02,000 – x)
Agent’s commission on cash sales = 7%
= \(\frac{7}{100}\) × x
= \(\frac{7x}{100}\)
Commission on credit sales = 5%
= \(\frac{5}{100}\)(1,02,000 – x)
Given, Total commission = ₹ 6,420
∴ \(\frac{7x}{100}\) + \(\frac{5}{100}\)(1,02,000 – x) = 6420
∴ \(\frac{7x}{100}\) + 5100 – \(\frac{5x}{100}\) = 6,420
∴ \(\frac{2x}{100}\) = 6,420 – 5,100
∴ \(\frac{2x}{100}\) = 1320
∴ x = ₹ 66,000
∴ Cash sales = ₹ 66,000
∴ Credit sales = 1,02000 – 66,000 = ₹ 36,000

Question 10.
Three cars were sold through an agent for ₹ 2,40,000, ₹ 2,22,000 and ₹ 2,25,000 respectively. The rates of the commission were 17.5% on the first, 12.5% on the second. If the agent overall received 14% commission on the total sales, find the rate of commission paid on the third car.
Solution:
Total selling price of three cars = 2,40,000 + 2,22,000 + 2,25,000 = ₹ 6,87,000
Commission on total sales = 14%
= \(\frac{14}{100}\) × 6,87,000
= ₹ 96,180
Selling price of first car = ₹ 2,40,000
Rate of commission = 17.5% = \(\frac{17.5}{100}\) × 2,40,000
∴ Commission on first car = ₹ 42,000
Selling price of second car = ₹ 2,22,000
Rate of commission = 12.5% = \(\frac{12.5}{100}\) × 2,22,000
∴ Commission on second car = ₹ 27,750
Selling price of third car = ₹ 2,25,000
Let the rate of commission be x%
Commission on third car = \(\frac{x}{100}\) × 2,25,000
96,180 – (42,000 + 27,750) = \(\frac{x}{100}\) × 2,25,000
\(\frac{26,430 \times 100}{2,25,000}\) = x
∴ x = 11.75
∴ Rate of commission on the third car = 11.75%

Question 11.
Swatantra Distributors allows a 15% discount on the list price of the washing machines. Further 5% discount is giver for cash payment. Find the list price of the washing machine if it was sold for the net amount of ₹ 38,356.25.
Solution:
Let the list price of the washing machine be ₹ 100
Trade discount = 15% = \(\frac{15}{100}\) × 100 = ₹ 15
∴ Invoice price =100 – 15 = ₹ 85
Cash discount = 5% = \(\frac{5}{100}\) × 85 = ₹ 4.25
∴ Net price = 85 – 4.25 = ₹ 80.75
Thus if List price is 100 than Net price is 80.75
if List price is x than Net price is 38,356.25.
∴ x = \(\frac{38356.25 \times 100}{80.75}\)
∴ x = ₹ 47,500
The list price of the washing machine is ₹ 47,500

Question 12.
A bookseller received ₹ 1,530 as a 15% commission on the list price. Find the list price of the books.
Solution:
Let the list price of the books be ₹ x
Rate of commission = 15%
Book seller’s commission = ₹ 1,530
∴ \(\frac{15}{100}\) × x = 1,530
∴ x = \(\frac{1,530 \times 100}{15}\)
∴ x = ₹ 10,200

Question 13.
A retailer sold a suit for ₹ 8,832 after allowing an 8% discount on market price and a further 4% cash discount. If he made 38% profit, find the cost price and the market price of the suit.
Solution:
Let the marked price of the suit be ₹ 100
Trade discount = 8% = \(\frac{8}{100}\) × 100 = ₹ 8
Invoice price = 100 – 8 = ₹ 92
Cash discount = 4% = \(\frac{4}{100}\) × 92 = ₹ 3.68
∴ Net price = 92 – 3.68 = ₹ 88.32
Thus if list price is 100 then net price is 88.32, if list price is x then net price is 8,832
∴ x = \(\frac{8,832 \times 100}{88.32}\)
∴ x = ₹ 10,000
The retailer made 38% profit.
Let the CP of the suit be ₹ 100
∴ SP of the suit = 100 + 38 = ₹ 138
Thus if the SP of the suit is ₹ 138 then its CP is ₹ 100
If the SP of the suit is 88.32 then its
CP = \(\frac{88.32 \times 100}{138}\) = ₹ 6400

Question 14.
An agent charges 10% commission plus 2% delcredere. If he sells goods worth ₹ 37,200, find his total earnings.
Solution:
Total sales = ₹ 37,200
Rate of commission = 10%
Agents commission = \(\frac{4}{100}\) × 37200 = ₹ 3720
Rate of delcredere = 2%
Amount of delcredere = \(\frac{2}{100}\) × 37,200 = ₹ 744
Total earning of the agent = ₹ 3,720 + ₹ 744 = ₹ 4,464

Question 15.
A whole seller allows a 25% trade discount and 5% cash discount. What will be the net price of an article marked at ₹ 1600?
Solution:
Marked price of the article = ₹ 1,600
Trade discount = 25%
= \(\frac{25}{100}\) × 1,600
= ₹ 400
∴ Invoice price = 1,600 – 400 = ₹ 1,200
Cash discount = 5%
= \(\frac{5}{100}\) × 1,200
= ₹ 60
∴ Net price = 1,200 – 60 = ₹ 1,140
