      compound interest (compounded annually) of 15% p.a. gives an interest that is Rs. 10 less than the interest received on investing Rs. Y for a year at simple interest of 10% p.a.. Find the value of β€˜Y’.
      A 42025 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 41025 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 43025 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 45025 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Interest returned on investing Rs. 13000 = 13000(1 + 15/100)2 – 13000 = 13000(115/100)2 – 13000 = 13000(23/20)2 – 13000 = 13000{232/202)- 1} = 13000{529/400)- 1} = 13000(529 - 400)/400 = Rs. 4192.5 So, interest returned on investing Rs. Y for 1 year at simple interest of 10% p.a. = 4192.5 + 10 = Rs. 4202.5 Or, Y Γ— (10/100) = 4202.5 Or, Y = 4202.5Β Γ— (100/10) Or, Y = 42025
