WBBSE Class 10 Mathematics: Simple Interest (Chapter 2)

WBBSE Madhyamik Ganit Prakash Ch 2

In the WBBSE Class 10 Madhyamik Mathematics curriculum (Ganit Prakash / গণিত প্রকাশ), Simple Interest (Chapter 2) forms the cornerstone of practical commercial arithmetic (ব্যাবহারिक পাটিগণিত). In commercial finance, when capital is borrowed or deposited for a stipulated duration, the consideration fee paid for utilizing that capital is defined as Interest ($I$).

When interest is computed strictly and uniformly on the original principal sum ($P$) throughout the entire loan tenure—without compounding or adding accrued interest to the principal—it is termed Simple Interest. The fundamental mathematical equation governing simple interest is: $$I = \frac{P \times R \times T}{100}$$ Where $P$ = Principal amount (initial capital in ₹), $R$ = Annual rate of simple interest (expressed in percent per annum, $\%$ p.a.), $T$ = Time duration (which must strictly be measured in years), and $I$ = Total simple interest accrued.

Upon maturity, the aggregate sum of the initial principal and accrued interest is known as the Total Amount or Subriddhimul (মুলধন + সুদ / মিশ্রधन - $A$): $$A = P + I = P\left(1 + \frac{RT}{100}\right)$$ Under WBBSE examination conventions, whenever time is given in days (such as 73 days, 146 days, 219 days), it must be standardized to years by setting $T = \frac{\text{days}}{365}$ years. Similarly, monthly durations are converted using $T = \frac{\text{months}}{12}$ years. Mastering these formulas guarantees 100% accuracy in secondary board examination problems.

Core Moral & Key Takeaway:

Mastering the fundamental relationships $I = \frac{PRT}{100}$ and Amount $A = P(1 + \frac{RT}{100})$ guarantees full marks in WBBSE Madhyamik commercial arithmetic.

Core Formulas, Conversion Rules & Commercial Terminology

Formula Sheet & Key Concepts

Term / Formula	Type	Definition / Meaning	Explanation / Notes	Example / Usage
Simple Interest Formula	Master Formula	I = (P · R · T) / 100	Interest = (Principal × Rate × Time) / 100.	"Interest on ₹1000 at 5% for 2 years: (1000 × 5 × 2)/100 = ₹100."
Principal (P)	Derived Formula	P = (100 · I) / (R · T)	Initial capital borrowed or invested.	"If I=₹120, R=6%, T=2 yrs, then P = (100×120)/(6×2) = ₹1000."
Annual Rate (R)	Derived Formula	R = (100 · I) / (P · T) %	Annual percentage rate of interest.	"If P=₹500, T=3 yrs, I=₹60, then R = (100×60)/(500×3) = 4% p.a."
Time Duration (T)	Derived Formula	T = (100 · I) / (P · R) years	Duration of loan or investment in years.	"If P=₹800, R=5%, I=₹160, then T = (100×160)/(800×5) = 4 years."
Total Amount / Subriddhimul (A)	Identity	A = P + I = P(1 + RT/100)	Aggregate sum of principal and interest.	"Principal ₹2000 + Interest ₹300 = Total Amount ₹2300."
Days to Years Conversion	Rule	T = days / 365 years	73 days = 1/5 yr; 146 days = 2/5 yr; 219 days = 3/5 yr.	"Always convert 73 days into 1/5 year before computing interest."
Double Money Rule (A = 2P)	Shortcut	R · T = 100	When money doubles, I = P => R × T = 100.	"At 8% p.a., money doubles in 100/8 = 12.5 years."
Triple Money Rule (A = 3P)	Shortcut	R · T = 200	When money triples, I = 2P => R × T = 200.	"To triple money in 10 years, required rate is 200/10 = 20% p.a."

Key Features & Devices Explored:

Standard Unit Rule for Time

Always convert months into years (divide by 12) and days into years (divide by 365).

Dual Investment Modeling

Split total capital into x and (Total - x) to solve two-bank interest equations.

Subriddhimul Difference Method

The difference between amounts for two different durations yields the interest for that intervening period directly.

Effective Average Rate Method

Compute overall blended rate when multiple loans or investments are combined.

High-Yield Revision Points & Solved Madhyamik Board Exam Q&A

WBBSE Exam Revision Notes

⚡ High-Yield Exam Takeaways:

Time Unit Standardization: Time $T$ must always be in years. For daily periods, set $T = \frac{\text{days}}{365}$.
Constant Principal: In simple interest, the principal remains invariant each year, resulting in equal interest per annum.
Amount Difference Principle: If amount after 3 years is ₹600 and after 5 years is ₹700, then 2 years' interest is simply $700 - 600 = ₹100$.
Doubling / Tripling Shortcuts: For money to become $n$-fold, interest accrued is $I = (n - 1)P$, yielding $R \times T = (n - 1) \times 100$.
Term Distinction: Always check whether problem conditions specify Simple Interest or Compound Interest before applying formulas.

Frequently Asked Questions & Model Answers:

Q1 Find the simple interest on ₹2,000 at 6% per annum for 73 days.

Answer: Here, Principal $P = ₹2000$, Rate $R = 6\%$, and Time $T = \frac{73}{365} = \frac{1}{5}$ year. Using the simple interest formula: $$I = \frac{P \times R \times T}{100} = \frac{2000 \times 6 \times \frac{1}{5}}{100} = \frac{400 \times 6}{100} = ₹24$$ Thus, the required interest is ₹24.

Q2 In how many years will a sum of money double itself at 8% simple interest per annum?

Answer: Let the principal be $P$. When the sum doubles, Amount $A = 2P \implies$ Interest $I = 2P - P = P$. Using the time formula: $$T = \frac{100 \times I}{P \times R} = \frac{100 \times P}{P \times 8} = \frac{100}{8} = 12.5\text{ years}$$ Hence, the sum doubles in 12 years and 6 months.

Q3 At what annual rate of simple interest will the amount of a principal in 10 years become 7/5 times the principal?

Answer: Let the principal be $P$. Amount $A = \frac{7}{5}P \implies$ Interest $I = A - P = \frac{7}{5}P - P = \frac{2}{5}P$. Time $T = 10$ years. Using the rate formula: $$R = \frac{100 \times I}{P \times T} = \frac{100 \times \frac{2}{5}P}{P \times 10} = \frac{40P}{10P} = 4\%$$ Thus, the required rate is 4% per annum.

Q4 A person deposited ₹50,000 in two banks at 5% and 6% per annum simple interest. After 2 years, total interest earned was ₹5,400. Find the amount deposited in each bank.

Answer: Let the deposit in the first bank be $x$ and in the second bank be $(50000 - x)$. Total interest earned in 2 years is: $$\frac{x \times 5 \times 2}{100} + \frac{(50000 - x) \times 6 \times 2}{100} = 5400$$ $$10x + 12(50000 - x) = 540000 \implies 10x + 600000 - 12x = 540000$$ $$-2x = -60000 \implies x = ₹30,000$$ Thus, ₹30,000 was deposited in the first bank and $50000 - 30000 = ₹20,000$ in the second bank.

5 years5 বছর5 साल

12 years12 বছর12 वर्ष

8 years8 বছর8 साल

10 years10 বছর10 वर्ष

Correct Answer: Option D

Explanation:

$I = P => t = (100 * P)/(P * 10) = 10 years.$

$I = P => t = (100 * P)/(P * 10) = 10 বছর।$

$I = P => t = (100 * P)/(P * 10) = 10 वर्ष।$
