  • Options
  • A. Rs. 16.50 less
  • B. Rs. 116.50 more
  • C. Rs. 128.50 less
  • D. Rs. 128.50 more

  • Correct Answer
  • Rs. 116.50 more 

    Explanation

    We can apply the formula to calculate the interest amount
    I = P x R x t where
    A = Total Accrued Amount (principal + interest)
    P = Principal Amount
    I = Interest Amount
    R = Rate of Interest per year as a percent;
    t = Time Period involved in years

    For Company A in 2006,
    Principle amount = 10000
    Rate of interest = 11.5 % ( As per given graph for company A in 2006)
    Time = 1 year
    The interest amount received by Samir in 2007 I = P x R x t
    The interest amount received by Samir in 2007 = 10000 x 11.5 x 1/100= 10000 x 115 x 1/10 x 100 = 10 x 115 = 1150
    Total amount received by Samir in 2007 = Interest amount + Principal amount = 10000 + 1150 = 11150
    Again For Company A in 2007,
    Principle amount = 11150
    Rate of interest = 15 % ( As per given graph for company A in 2007)
    Time = 1 year
    The interest amount received by Samir in 2008 I = P x R x t
    The interest amount received by Samir in 2008 = 11150 x 15 x 1/100 = 1115 x 15/10 = 1115 x 3/2 = 3345/2 = 1672.5
    Total amount received by Samir in 2008 = Interest amount + Principal amount = 11150+ 1672.5 = 12822.50
    Hence, their interest = 12822.50 - 10000 = 2822.50
    For Company B in 2006,
    Principle amount = 10000
    Rate of interest = 13.5 % ( As per given graph for company B in 2006)
    Time = 1 year
    The interest amount received by Samir in 2007 I = P x R x t
    The interest amount received by Samir in 2007 = 10000 x 13.5 x 1/100= 10000 x 135 x 1/10 x 100 = 10 x 135 = 1350
    Total amount received by Samir in 2007 = Interest amount + Principal amount = 10000 + 1350 = 11350
    Again For Company B in 2007,
    Principle amount = 11350
    Rate of interest = 14 % ( As per given graph for company B in 2007)
    Time = 1 year
    The interest amount received by Samir in 2008 I = P x R x t
    The interest amount received by Samir in 2008 = 11350 x 14 x 1/100 = 1135 x 14/10 = 1135 x 7/5 = 227 x 7 = 1589
    Total amount received by Samir in 2008 = Interest amount + Principal amount = 11350+ 1589 = 12939
    Since, their interest = 12939 - 10000 = Rs. 2939
    Hence, difference between the interests earned = 2939 - 2822.50 = Rs. 116.50
    If Samir had invested the amount in company B for both years then he would get Rs. 116.50 more.
