 EMI or equated monthly installment, as the name suggests, is one part of the equally divided monthly outgoes to
clear off an outstanding loan within a stipulated time frame. The EMI is dependent on multiple factors, such as:
Principal borrowed
Rate of interest
Tenure of the loan
Monthly/annual resting period
For a fixed interest rate loan, the EMI remains fixed for the entire tenure of the loan, provided there is no default
or part-payment in between. The EMI is used to pay off both the principal and interest components of an
outstanding loan.
Example:
A person amortizes a loan of ₹1500000 for renovation of his house by 8 years mortgage at the rate of 12% p.a.
compounded monthly.

Explanation: We know that if A is square matrix of order n, then |kA| = kn |A| (see properties)
∴ Reason is true.

⎡ ⎤

Given A = ⎢ 0 1 2⎥ (Expand by C1)

⇒ |A| = 1(4 - 0) - 0 + 0
⇒ |A| = 4

Now, 3A = ⎢ 0 3 6⎥ (Expand by C1)

⎣ ⎦
0 0 12

⇒ |3A| = 3(36 - 0) - 0 + 0
⇒ |3A| = 108
⇒ |3A| = 27 × 4 ⇒ |3A| = 27|A|

∴ Assertion is true.

Hence, both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
20. (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation: f(x) = log IxI + bx2 + ax, x ≠ 0
⇒ f'(x) = + 2bx + a, x ≠ 0
1

Given x = -1 and x = 2 are extreme values of f(x).

So, f'(-1) = 0 and f'(2) = 0

Page 10 of 19

= (1.00833) − 1

= 1.1047 - 1
= 0.1047
​Thus, the effective rate of interest is 10.47%, which means that the rate of 10.47% compounded annually yield the same interest as
the nominal rate 10% compounded monthly.
OR
Let P be the present value of the given perpetuity. It is given that R = 8,000 and i = = 0.02 4

200

R 8,000
∴ P= i
⇒ P=₹ 0.02
= ₹400,000
Hence the present value of the given perpetuity is ₹400,000. It means that a sum of ₹400,000 invested now at 4% compounded
semi-annually will fetch ₹8,000 semi-annually forever.
23. Let f(x) = eIxI ⇒ f(-x) = e|-x| = e|x| = f(x)
⇒ f(x) is an even function; therefore,

24. Here we have to find how much money should be invested now that would provide for an unlimited number of payments of
₹2,500 each year, the first due now. So, it is a perpetuity of ₹2,500 payable at the beginning each year, if money is worth 5%
compounded annually. Thus, we have
R = 2,500 and i = = 0.05 100
5

Let P be the present value of this annuity. Then,

R 2,500
P=R+ i
⇒ P = ₹(2,500 + 0.05
) = ₹52,500
Hence, required sum of money is ₹52,500.
OR
Cost of flat = ₹ 6000000, cash payment ₹ 1000000
So, balance = ₹ 6000000 - ₹ 1000000 = ₹ 5000000
Given P = ₹ 5000000, n = 12 × 20 = 240 months, i = 7.5

1200
= 0.00625

Page 11 of 19
 240
5000000×0.00625×(1.00625)
∴ EMI = 240
(1.00625) −1

5000000×0.00625×4.4608
= 3.4608
= ₹40279.70
25. In order to prove 3500 ≡ 2 (mod 7), let us first find an integer k such that 3k ≡ ± 1 (mod 7).
We know that 31 ≡ 3 (mod 7)
⇒ 32 ≡ 3 × 3 = 9 ≡ 2 (mod 7)
⇒ 33 ≡ 3 × 2(mod7)
⇒ 33 ≡ 6 ≡ -1 (mod 7)
Thus, we find that 33 ≡ -1 (mod 7). Let us now express 3500 in terms of 33.
3500 = (33)166 × 32
Now,
33 ≡ -1 (mod 7)
⇒ (33)166 ≡ (-1)166 (mod 7) [∵ a ≡ b (mod m) ⇒ an ≡ bn (mod m)]
⇒ (33)166 × 32 ≡ (-1)166 × 32 (mod 7) [∵ a ≡ b (mod m) ⇒ ax ≡ bx (mod m)]
⇒ 3500 ≡ 9 (mod 7)
But, 9 ≡ 2 (mod 7). Thus, we obtain
3500 ≡ 9 (mod 7) and 9 ≡ 2 (mod 7)
⇒ 3500 ≡ 2 (mod 7) [∵ a ≡ b (mod m), b ≡ c (mod m) ⇒ a ≡ c (mod m)]

As MC = , dC

dx

C(x) = ∫ (MC) dx = ∫ (30 + 2x) dx

= 30x + x2 + k, where k is constant of integration.
Given fixed cost (in ₹) = 120 i.e. when x = 0, C(x) = 120
⇒ 30 × 0 + 02 + k = 120 ⇒ k = 120.
∴ C(x) = 120 + 30x + x2
Total cost of producing 100 units = 120 + 30 × 100 + 1002 = 13120 (in ₹).
∴

ii. Cost of increasing output from 100 to 200 = C(200) - C(100)

EMI or equated monthly installment, as the name suggests, is one part of the equally divided monthly outgoes to clear off an
outstanding loan within a stipulated time frame. The EMI is dependent on multiple factors, such as:
Principal borrowed
Rate of interest
Tenure of the loan
Monthly/annual resting period
For a fixed interest rate loan, the EMI remains fixed for the entire tenure of the loan, provided there is no default or part-payment
in between. The EMI is used to pay off both the principal and interest components of an outstanding loan.
Example:
A person amortizes a loan of ₹1500000 for renovation of his house by 8 years mortgage at the rate of 12% p.a. compounded
monthly.
