  • Question
  • What will be the difference in the compound interest on ? 50000 at 12% for one year, when the interest is paid yearly and half- yearly?


  • Options
  • A. ?. 500
  • B. ? 600
  • C. ? 180
  • D. ? 360

  • Correct Answer
  • ? 180 

    Explanation

    CI on ? 50000 at the rate of 12% for one year, when the interest is paid half-yearly
    = 50000(1 + 6/100)2 - 50000
    = [50000 x (53/50) x (53/50)] - 50000 = ? 6180

    CI when the interest is paid yearly
    = 50000(1 + 12/100)1 - 50000
    = 50000(28/25 - 1) = 50000(3/25) = ? 6000

    ? Required difference = CI - SI = 6180 - 6000 = ? 180
