    The interest earned when a sum is invested at simple

    interest of 20% p.a., for 3 years, is Rs. 1500. What will be the total amount received after 2 years on investing the same sum at compound interest (compounded annually) of 12% interest p.a.?
    A Rs. 3100 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 3036 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 3136 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 3156 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the sum invested = Rs. Y According to the question, (Y × 3 × 20) ÷ 100 = 1500 So, Y = (1500/0.6) = 2500 So, required amount received = 2500(1 + 12/100)2 = 2500(28/25)2 = Rs. 3136
