Solution
1) P = Rs. 5000, T = 1 year, A =Rs. 5325
I = A - P
⇒ I = 5325 - 5000
⇒ I = 325
So, the interest at the end of first year is Rs. 325.
`I = (PRT)/100`
`=> R = (I xx100)/(PxxT)`
`=> R = (325 xx 100)/(5000 xx 1)`
`=> R = 32500/5000 = 6.5%`
So,the rate of interest at the end of the first year is 6.5 %
2) The amount at the end of the first year will be the principal for the second year.
P = Rs. 5325, T = 1 year, R = 6.5%
`I = (PRT)/100`
`=> I = (5325 xx 6.5 × 1)/100`
`=> I = 346.125`
A = P + I
⇒ A =5325 + 346.125
⇒ A =5671.125
⇒ A ≈ Rs 5671
So, the amount at the end of the second year is Rs. 5671.
