      At what rate percent per annum will Rs. 75,000 yields a

      compound interest of Rs. 6,120 in 6 months, if the interest is being compounded quarterly? Calculate the simple interest at the same rate of interest for 18 months.
      A 20%, Rs. 18,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 16%, Rs. 18,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 25%, Rs. 20,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 18%, Rs. 20,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the rate of C.I be R percent per annum, CI = P [ ( 1 + `(R)/(100)` )α΅€ - 1] ⇒ 6,120 = 75,000 [ ( 1 + `(R)/(400)` )2 - 1 ] [T= 6 months = 2 because interest is calculated quarterly] ⇒ `(6120)/(75000)` = ( 1 +`(R)/(400)` ) 2 - 1 ⇒ ( 1 + ) 2 - 1 = `(51)/(625)` ` ` ⇒ ( 1 + `(R)/(400)` ) 2 = 1 + `(51)/(625)` ⇒ ( 1 + `(R)/(400)` )2 = `(676)/(625)` ⇒ ( 1 +`(R)/(400)` )2 = ( `(26)/(25)` )2 ⇒ 1+ `(R)/(400)` = `(26)/(25)` ⇒ `(R)/(400)` = `(26)/(25)` - 1 = `(1)/(25)` R = `(400)/(25)` = 16% Now, S.I = `(P xx R xx T)/(100)` = `(75000 xx 16 xx 18)/(100 xx 12)` = Rs. 18,000
