The compound interest on a certain sum of money invested for 2 years at 5% per annum is ₹ 328. The simple interest on the sum, at the same rate and for the same period will be
-
- ₹ 320
- ₹ 308
- ₹ 300
- ₹ 287
Correct Option: A
Given that , Compound Interest ( CI ) = ₹ 328 , Rate ( R ) = 5% , Time = 2 years
Let the principal be P.
| ∴ C.I. = P | ![]() | ![]() | 1 + | ![]() | T | − 1 | ![]() | |
| 100 |
| ⇒ 328 = P | ![]() | ![]() | 1 + | ![]() | 2 | − 1 | ![]() | |
| 100 |
| ⇒ 328 = P | ![]() | − 1 | ![]() | |
| 400 |
| ⇒ 328 = P | ![]() | ![]() | |
| 400 |
| ⇒ P = | = ₹ 3200 | |
| 41 |
| ∴ S.I. = | = | = ₹ 320 | ||
| 100 | 100 |
Second Method to solve this question :
Here, C.I. = ₹ 328 , R = 5% , S.I. = ?
| C.I.= S.I. | ![]() | 1 + | ![]() | |
| 200 |
| 328 = S.I. | ![]() | 1 + | ![]() | |
| 200 |
| 328 = S.I. | ![]() | 1 + | ![]() | |
| 40 |
| S.I. = | |
| 41 |
S.I. = 8 x 40 = ₹ 320
