    annum simple interest and earned an interest of Rs 18000 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. 46250 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    C Rs. 22000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 23205 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Rs. 33750 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the certain sum of money be Rs. P
    So, P × 0.18 × 2 = 18000
    So, P = Rs. 50000
    Desired interest = [(1.21)2 – 1] × 50000 = Rs. 23205
