Question
A sum of Rs. 8,000 is deposited for 3 years at 5% per annum compound interest (compounded annually). The difference of interest for 3 years and 2 years will be
Options
A. Rs. 387
B. Rs. 441
C. Rs. 469
D. Rs. 503

Correct Answer

Rs. 441

Explanation

Given principal amount = Rs. 8000

Time = 3yrs

Rate = 5%

C.I for 3 yrs = $8000 x \frac{105}{100} x \frac{105}{100} x \frac{105}{100} - 8000 = Rs . 1261$

Now, C.I for 2 yrs = $8000 x \frac{105}{100} x \frac{105}{100} = Rs . 820$

Hence, the required difference in C.I is 1261 - 820 = Rs. 441

Discuss

Correct Answer: Rs. 704

Explanation:

We know that,

$S . I . = \frac{PTR}{100} ? P = \frac{S . I x 100}{T x R} And also, C . I = P [{(1 + \frac{R}{100})}^{n} - 1]$

From given data, P = Rs. 8625

Now, C.I = $8625 [{(1 + \frac{4}{100})}^{2} - 1] = 8625 [{(\frac{26}{25})}^{2} - 1] = 8625 [\frac{676}{625} - 1] = 8625 x \frac{51}{625} C . I = Rs . 703.80$
