      Question

      Rs. 5000 when invested at simple interest of r% p.a.

      amounts to Rs. 7200 in 24 months. If the same sum had been invested for 1 year at compound interest of (r + 20) % p.a. (compounded in every 4 months), then the amount received would be?
      A 7002.72 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 7412.72 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 7402.72 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 7702.72 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      According to the question, 7200 – 5000 = (5000 × r × 24) ÷ (12 × 100) Or, 2200 = 100 × r Or, r = 22 When the sum is invested at compound interest, Effective rate of interest = (r + 20) ÷ 3 = (22 + 20) ÷ 3 = 14% Effective time period = 1 × 3 = 3 units Amount received = Principal × {1 + (r/100)}time period = 5000 × {1 + (14/100)}3 = 5000 × (1.14)3 = 7402.72
