Question4 A trader invested Tk. 8000 as principal
Solution to the question no. 3 for 3 years at the rate of profit 5% per annum.
a According to the question, a. Determine the simple profit in 3 years. 2
x2 = 3x + 1 b. Find the difference of simple profit and compound
or, x2 – 1 = 3x profit in 3 years. 4
x2 – 1 c. The accountant said that, the compound profit after
or, =3 3 years is Tk. 1129.33. How much more or less was
x
1 the rate of profit? 4
or, x – = 3 Ans. Solution to the question no. 4
x
a Given,
b From 'a', we have
Rate of profit, r = 5%
1 Principal, P = Tk.8000
x– =3
x Period, n = 3 years
1 2 Simple profit, I = Pnr
or, x – = 32 [squaring both sides]
x = Tk. 8000 3

1 2 = 8000 = Tk.9261
or, x2 + 2 = (11)2 [squaring both sides] 100
x
Compound profit = A P
1 1 = Tk. (9261 8000)
or, x4 + 4 + 2.x2. 2 = 121
x x = Tk.1261
1 From ‘a’ , Simple profit = Tk.1200
or, x4 + 4 = 121 – 2 Difference of simple profit and compound
x
1 profit = Tk. (1261 1200) = Tk.61 (Ans.)
or, x4 + 4 = 119 c The accountant said that, the compound profit after
x
3 years is Tk. 1129.33
