      Question

      A sum of money grows to Rs. 1560 when invested at a

      simple interest rate of 15% per annum for 2 years. What will be the total amount received if the same sum is invested at a compound interest rate of 20% per annum, compounded annually, for the same 2-year period?
      A Rs. 1,556 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs. 1,728 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs. 1,686 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs. 1,840 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the sum invested at simple interest be Rs. x Therefore, (x Γ— 15 Γ— 2)/100 + x = 1560 Or, 30x/100 + x = 1560 Or, 130x = 1560 Γ— 100 Or, x = Rs. 1200 Therefore, amount received on compound interest at the rate of 20% p.a. for 2 years will be A = 1200{1+ 20/100}2Β = 1200 Γ— 36/25 = Rs. 1728Β
