Question
The difference between compound interest and simple
interest at the same rate for Rs. 3600 for 2 years is Rs. 144. The rate of interest per annum is:Solution
When difference is given between SI and CI for 2 years, then the formula is: CI – SI = P (R/100)2 According to the question, => 144 = 3600 (R/100)2 => R2 = (144 × 10000)/3600 => R = 20%
