If the simple interest on a sum of money at 5% per annum for 3 years is Rs. 1200, find the compound interest on the same sum for the same period at the same rate.

Correct Answer: Rs.1261

Explanation:


Clearly, Rate = 5% p.a .,


Time = 3 years


S.I =Rs.1200.


So,Principal


=Rs.(100 x 1200/3x5)


=Rs.8000.


 


Amount


=Rs.[8000 x (1+5/100)³]


=Rs(8000x21/20x21/20x21/20)


= Rs.9261


 


C.I


=Rs.(9261-8000)


=Rs.1261.
