  • The compound interest earned by Sunil on a certain amount at the end of two years at the rate of 8% p.a. was Rs.2828.80. Find the total amount that Sunil got back at the end of two years in the form of principal plus interest earned ?


  • Options
  • A. Rs. 11828.80
  • B. Rs. 19828.80
  • C. Rs. 9828.80
  • D. Rs. 19328.80

  • Correct Answer
  • Rs. 19828.80 

    Explanation

    Let the sum be Rs. P
    P{ 1 + 8 100 2 - 1 } = 2828.80

     

    It is in the form of   a 2 - b 2   =   a + b a - b

     

    P(8/100)(2 + 8/100) = 2828.80

     

    P = 2828.80 / (0.08)(2.08)

     

    = 1360/0.08 = 17000

     

    Principal + Interest = Rs. 19828.80
