Q9 of 32 Page 46

An agricultural Co-operative society gives agricultural loan to its members at the rate of simple interest of 4% per annum. But an interest is to be given at the rate of simple interest of 7.4% per annum for a loan taken from the bank. If a farmer being a member of the Co-operative society takes a loan of ₹5000 from it instead of taking loan from the bank, the let us write, by calculating the money to be saved as interest per annum.

When farmer takes loan from agricultural society:


P = Rs. 5000, r = 4, t = 1 and I = ?


As we know,




I = Rs. 200


When a farmer takes loan from the bank:


P = Rs. 5000, r = 7.4, t = 1 and I = ?


As we know,




I = Rs. 370


Hence, the money saved by farmer


= Interest(when loan is taken from bank) – Interest(from agricultural society)


370 – 200 = Rs. 170


Hence, money saved by farmer = Rs. 270
