      Question

      A man invested Rs. 12000 in bank A at 10% p.a. compound

      interest for three years. The interest received from the bank A is Rs. 1472 more than the interest on some other amount invested in bank B at 8% simple interest for 5 years. What is the amount invested in bank B?
      A Rs. 6650 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs. 6350 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs. 6750 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs. 6250 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Compound interest earned from bank A = 12000 × [(1 + 10/100) 3  – 1] = 12000 × 0.331 = Rs. 3972

      Simple interest earned from bank B = 3972 – 1472 = Rs. 2500

      Let, the amount invested in the bank B be Rs. x.

      So, 2500 = (x * 8 * 5)/100

      250000 = 40x,

      x = Rs. 6250

      Therefore, the amount invested in the bank B = Rs. 6250
