1. Answer: c) Principal and previously earned interest.
2. Answer: a) A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)
3. Answer: a) 1

4. Compound Interest Formula: A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt), where P is the principal amount, r is the rate of interest, n is the number of times interest is compounded per year, and t is the time in years.

5. Use the formula A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt), where P = 8000, r = 0.10, n = 4 (quarterly compounding), and t = 3 years.

6. Use the formula A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt), where P = 12000, r = 0.06, n = 2 (semi-annually), and t = 2 years.

7. Use the formula A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt), where P = 2000, r = 0.125, n = 1 (annually), and t = 3 years.

8. Use the formula A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt), where P = 5000, r = 0.09, n = 1 (annually), and t = 2 years.

CBSE I NCERT 10th Numerical Problem solved Reflection and reflection of light

Q. 1. A concave mirror of focal length 20cm is placed 50 cm from a wall. How far from the wall an object be placed to form its real image on the wall?  Solution: V= -50 cm F= -20cm From mirror formula 1/u = 1/f – 1/v = -1/20+ 1/50 = - 3/100  U = - 33.3 cm Therefore, the distance of the object from the wall x =  50 – u X = 50 – 33.3 = 16.7 cm. Q.2. An object is placed at a distance of 40cm from a concave mirror of focal length 15cm. If the object is displaced through a distance of 20 cm towards the mirror, By how much distance is the image displaced? Answer: Here f = - 15 cm, u = - 40 cm Now 1/f = 1/u + 1/v Then 1/v = 1/f – 1/u Or V= uf/u-f =( - 40 x -15)/25 = -24 cm Then object is displaced towards the mirror let u1 be the distance object from the Mirror in its new position. Then u1 = -(40-20) = -20cm If the image is formed at a distance u1 from the mirror then v1 = u1f/u1-f = -20X-15/-20+15 = -60 cm. = - 20 x-15/-20+15 = -60 ...
