If 'P' is the Principal Sum , then Compound Interest (CI) @4%, after 2 years is: CI = P{ (1+4/100) (1+4/100) -1} =P { 1+16/10000 +2*4/100 -1} = P{16/10000+2*4/100} Simple Interest SI, @ 4% after 2 years is: SI = P*2*4/100 It is given that, CI - SI= Rs.1, Substituting the values of CI and SI in the...

Given, Compound Interest -Simple Interest = 1 P { 1+ ( 4/100) } ^ 2 - P - ( P×4×2 / 100 ) = 1 On solving, P = 625

Find the number of terms of the A.P: 7, 13, 19, ...., 205?
The first term, t1=a = 7. The common difference, b=13 - 7=6. Last term or the nth term, tn=a + (n-1)b = 205. So, we have, 7 + (n - 1)6 = 205 --> (n - 1) = (205 - 7)/6 = 33 --> n = 34. Answer: Number of terms is 34.
