Compound Interest
Aptitude
On what sum of money will the difference between simple interest and compound interest for 2 years at 5% per annum be equal to Rs. 63?
- Rs. 24,600
- Rs. 24,800
- Rs. 25,200
- Rs. 25,500
Correct Option: C
Given
that , Difference = C.I. - S.I. = ₹ 63 , Time = 2 years , Rate = 5%
Using the given formula ,
⇒ P = 400 × 63 = ₹ 25200
On what sum of money does the difference between the simple interest and compound interest in 2 years at 5 % is ₹ 15
Solution
Let the sum of money =x
Simple interest in 2 years =P×R×T100
where P= Principal =x, Rate, R=5% and Time, T=2 years
so Simple Interest =x×5×2100=0.1x
Compound interest:
Amount after 1 year =x+5% of x=1.05x
Amount after 2 years =1.05x+5%(1.05x)=1.05x+0.0525x=1.1025x
So compound interest after 2 years =1.1025x−x=0.1025x
Difference of compound interest and simple interest =0.1025x−0.1x=0.0025x
This difference in interest is given as Rs.15.
So 0.0025x=15
⇒x=150.0025=Rs.6000
Hence, the sum is Rs. 6000
