      Question

      A man invested Rs. 20,000 at simple interest of 10% p.a.

      If he had instead invested the same sum on compound interest of 10% p.a., compounded annually, then how much more he would have earned as interest after 2 years?
      A Rs.200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs.150 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs.195 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs.225 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ, Simple interest = Sum Γ— (rate of interest/100) Γ— (time in years) Simple interest earned in two years = 20,000 Γ— (10/100) Γ— 2 = Rs. 4,000 Compound interest earned in two years: = 20,000 Γ— {1 + (10/100)}Β² - 20,000 = 20,000 Γ— (1.1)Β² - 20,000 = 20,000 Γ— 1.21 - 20,000 = Rs. 24,200 - 20,000 = Rs. 4,200 So, required difference = 4,200 - 4,000 = Rs. 200
