Q1
Meera went to the City One shopping complex to buy some return gift items for her son Manvir’s birthday party. She also wanted to buy some personal items for herself and her sister.In the shopping complex, she first enters the Rupee 99 shop, where the price of every item is ₹99.
The figure shows a board hung near one of the counters of the Rupee 99 shop where the pencil boxes, which Meera was looking for, were being sold.
1. (i) Meera needs to buy 24 pencil boxes. How should she get these 24 items billed to get the maximum discount? Should she get them in sets of 3 + 1 or 5 + 1? Assume Meera would choose one of these two ways of billing, not a combination of these two.

Q2
While unwrapping the gift pack of a toy mechanics set that Manvir’s father gifted him for his birthday, the sticker containing the marked price (MP) on the product got torn. But the bill of that product is available. Using the information printed on the bill, answer the following questions regarding the gift.
Note: GST in the above bill stands for ‘Goods and Service Tax’. This tax is applied on different products and services. We often notice that one person purchases from one seller and again sells to another customer. E.g., one may purchase plastic beads from one seller and thread from another and ultimately sell a bead necklace to a customer who may further sell it in a jewellery box to another. In such situations, the tax on the plastic beads should be paid only once and not by each seller. The GST system ensures this by making the final seller of the goods and service pay the tax collected from the final buyer.
In India, different GST is applicable on different products/services. E.g., the GST on sugar, tea, paneer, etc. is 5% whereas that on mobile phones, ghee, etc. is 12% and it is 28% on items like cars and cement.
(1) What is the actual MP of the gift item? Round off the answer to the nearest whole number.
(2) Calculate the percentage of GST levied on Manvir’s toy and identify in which slab of GST do toys fall in India. (Recall that GST is always calculated based on the selling price of the item).
(a) 5 % (b) 12 % (c) 18 % (d) 28 %
(3) We can interpret any bill amount as a price containing a discount in percentage (D%) on its marked price (MP) and an additional tax in percentage (T%) being levied on it. If you want to write a formula for the final bill amount, which of the following can be your choice?
Bill Amount = ?
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
Q3
1st April is considered to be the beginning of the financial year for the PPF account and 31st March of the next year is the end of the financial year. The interest is compounded annually and the interest money is added to the account at the end of the financial year.
Mrs. Harshita opened a PPF account on 2nd April 2020 with an initial deposit of ₹50,000. After 1 year, on 2nd April 2021 she decided to visit the bank to get her passbook updated. On the previous day, she had asked her daughter Sunita to calculate the interest amount. She informs her about the initial deposit of ₹50,000 at an interest rate of 7 % per annum. But she forgets to inform her that the interest is compounded annually.
(a) What will be the difference, if any, in the interest amount calculated by Sunita and the one that gets printed in the passbook the next day.
(b) What is going to be the balance in Harshita’s account that gets printed in the passbook?
(c) For the year 2021-2022, the interest rate was revised and increased to 8%. So, Harshita decided to invest more in the PPF account. She deposited ₹1,20,000/- on 5th April 2021.
(i) What is the total principal amount for which Harshita will receive interest at the end of the financial year 2021-2022?
(ii) How much would be the interest earned, and what would be the balance in her account at the end of the financial year, i.e., 31st March 2022 ?
(d) Mrs. Harshita continues to invest money into her PPF account for 15 years, till she retires. After 15 years, the total amount increases to 40 lakhs. If she stops investing now, what would be the total interest she earns in the next five years? Assume that the interest rate continues to be 8%. Select the option which is closest to the number based on your calculations.
(a) ₹ 12,00,000 (b) ₹ 16,00,000
(c) ₹ 19,00,000 (d) ₹ 23,00,000
Q4
We can visualise the difference between “simple interest” and “compound interest” over a period of time through a simple activity of drawing the graphs corresponding to these two quantities. With this activity we can also see the rate at which the interest earned through compounding grows as the number of years increases.
For this, you need to assume that a certain principal amount is deposited in the bank for a certain number of years. Calculate the simple interest and the compound interest for successive years, by assuming a fixed interest rate for all the years. Draw the graphs corresponding to these amounts.
Year | SI earned | CI earned | Year | SI earned | CI earned |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 9,000 | 9,000 | 9 | 81,000 | 117189 |
2 | 18,000 | 18810 | 10 | 90,000 | 136736 |
3 | 27,000 | 29502 | 11 | 99,000 | 158042 |
4 | 36,000 | 41158 | 12 | 1,08,000 | 181266 |
5 | 45,000 | 53862 | 13 | 1,17,000 | 206580 |
6 | 54,000 | 67710 | 14 | 1,26,000 | 234172 |
7 | 63,000 | 82803 | 15 | 1,35,000 | 264248 |
8 | 72,000 | 99256 |
The above table shows the total simple interest (SI) earned till the given year and the compound interest (CI) earned till the given year by depositing ₹1,00,000/- for 15 years. For both types of interests, a fixed interest rate is considered for all the years. The above graph shows the bar graph of SI earned and CI earned vs Time.
(A) (i) What is the interest rate considered while calculating the interest amount in the table?
(a) 10 %
(b) 9 %
(c) 4.5 %
(d) Data is insufficient
(ii) In the table, the difference between the interest amount of two successive years ..... as the number of years increases.
(a) remains the same in both cases
(b) increases in SI earned but decreases in CI earned
(c) decreases in SI earned but increases in CI earned
(d) remains the same in SI earned but increases in CI earned
(iii) As per Table 3.1, which of the following is not the accurate description of the relationship between SI earned and CI earned in 10 years?
(a) SI earned is more than 50% of CI earned
(b) CI earned is more than 150% of SI earned
(c) The difference between the CI earned and SI earned is more than 50% of SI earned
(d) The difference between the CI earned and SI earned is more than 50% of CI earned
(B) In the graph, instead of plotting only the SI earned and CI earned, if the sum principal + SI earned and principal + CI earned were plotted with the same coloured bars (i.e., orange and green respectively), then which of the following differences would be observed in the graph? (Choose all that apply)
(a) For year 13 and above, the green bars would cross 300000
(b) Only for year 15, the orange bar would cross 300000
(c) For year 9 and above, all the green bars would cross 200000
(d) For year 12 and above, all the orange bars would cross 200000
(C) As a further exploration, you can extend the table for more years by keeping the same interest rate and plot the graph again. In the below figure, shows a line graph of SI earned and CI earned vs time by extending the table for 30 years.
We can see that the CI earned is roughly two times the SI earned in the 16th year. In which year does the CI earned become roughly three times the SI earned?
(a) 18th year
(b) 23rd year
(c) 26th year
(d) 28th year
(D) Which of the following statements is true about the compound interest earned by the principal amount of ₹1,00,000?
I. The compound interest is more than 2 times the principal amount after 10 years
II. The compound interest is more than 4 times the principal amount after 20 years
III. The compound interest is more than 12 times the principal amount after 30 years
(a) Only II
(b) I and II
(c) II and III
(d) I, II and III
