If the simple interest on a sum of money for 2 years at 5% per annum is Rs. 50, the compound interest on the same at the same rate and for the same time is :
-
- Rs. 50.50
- Rs. 51.25
- Rs. 51.50
- Rs. 50.05
Correct Option: B
Given , Simple Interest S.I. = Rs. 50 , Time = 2 years , Rate = 5%
Using the given formula ,
| Principal = | |
| Time × Rate |
| Principal = | = Rs. 500 | |
| 2 × 5 |
| ∴ C.I. = P | ![]() | ![]() | 1 + | ![]() | T | − 1 | ![]() | |
| 100 |
| C.I. = 500 | ![]() | ![]() | 1 + | ![]() | 2 | − 1 | ![]() | |
| 100 |
| C.I. = 500 | ![]() | ![]() | 1 + | ![]() | 2 | − 1 | ![]() | |
| 20 |
| C.I. = 500 | ![]() | ![]() | ![]() | 2 | − 1 | ![]() | |
| 20 |
| C.I. = 500 | ![]() | − 1 | ![]() | |
| 400 |
| C.I. = | = Rs. 51.25 | |
| 400 |
