    A man invested a certain amount of sum at 13% per

    annum simple interest and earned an interest of Rs. 2600 after 2 years. If the same amount is invested at 21% per annum compound interest, compounded annually for two years then the interest would be:
    A Rs. 4625 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 5225 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 4641 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 4468 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Rs. 4568 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the certain sum of money be Rs. P
    So, P × 0.13 × 2 = 2600
    So, P = Rs. 10000
    Desired interest = [(1.21)2 – 1] × 10000 = Rs. 4641
