Question

Suppose 'S' invested Rs. 40,000 each at 12% p.a. in two different Funds for 2 years, with one Fund offering compound interest (compounded annually) and the other offering simple interest, what is the difference between the interest earned from both Funds?

A Rs.470 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B Rs.570 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C Rs.500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D Rs.576 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
E none of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

ATQ, Simple interest earned = (40000 × 12 × 2) ÷ 100 = Rs. 9,600 And compound interest earned = 40000 × {1 + (12/100)}2 - 40000 = Rs. 10,176 So, required difference = 10176 - 9600 = Rs.576
