      Question

      A man takes a loan of Rs. 50,000 from a bank at a simple

      interest rate of 10% per annum. He immediately lends the same amount to a friend at a compound interest rate of 10% per annum, compounded annually. What is the total profit he earns at the end of 3 years?
      A Rs. 1500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs. 1250 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs. 1750 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs. 1550 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Total interest paid by the man to the bank = (50000 X 10 X 3) ÷ 100 = Rs. 15,000

      Total interest received by the man from his friend = 50000 X {(1.1) 3  - 1} = Rs. 16,550

      So, profit earned by the man = 16550 - 15000 = Rs. 1,550
