Three cars were sold through an agent for ₹ 2,40,000, ₹ 2,22,000 and ₹ 2,25,000 respectively. The rates of 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

= `square`

Commision on total sale = 14%

= `14/100 xx square`

Selling price of First car = ₹ 2,40,000

Rate of commission = 17.5% 

= `17.5/100 xx 2,40,000 = square`

∴ Commission on first car = ₹ `square`

Selling price of Second car = ₹ 2,22,000

Rate of commission = 12.5%

= `12.5/100 xx 2,22,000 = square`

∴ Commission on second car = ₹ `square`

Selling price of third car = ₹ 2,25,000

Let the rate of commission be x

Commission on third car = `x/100 xx 2,25,000`

∴ Commission on third car = Total commission − (commission on first car + commission on second car)

∴ `x/100 xx 2,25,000 = square - {square + square}`

∴ x = `square`

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]

For an annuity due, C = ₹ 2000, rate = 16% p.a. compounded quarterly for 1 year

∴ Rate of interest per quarter = `square/4` = 4

⇒ r = 4%

⇒ i = `square/100 = 4/100` = 0.04

n = Number of quarters

= 4 × 1

= `square`

⇒ P' = `(C(1 + i))/i [1 - (1 + i)^-n]`

⇒ P' = `(square(1 + square))/0.04 [1 - (square + 0.04)^-square]`

= `(2000(square))/square [1 - (square)^-4]`

= 50,000`(square)`[1 – 0.8548]

= ₹ 7,550.40
