    Question

    The interest earned when a sum is invested at simple

    interest of 16% p.a., for 3 years, is Rs. 2400. What will be the total amount received after 2 years on investing the same sum at compound interest (compounded annually) of 10% interest p.a.?
    A Rs. 6000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 6070 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 6080 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 6050 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the sum invested = Rs. Y According to the question, (Y × 3 × 16) ÷ 100 = 2400 So, Y = (2400/0.48) = 5000 So, required amount received = 5000(1 + 10/100)2 = 5000(11/10)2 = Rs. 6050
