      per annum for 4 years. He then reinvested the amount he received into a compound interest scheme for 2 years at 15% per annum. Calculate the compound interest earned in the second investment.
      A Rs.1000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs.1290 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs.900 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs.870 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Simple Interest Principal = 2000   Rate = 25%   Time = 4 years SI = (2000 × 25 × 4) / 100 = 2000   Amount after 4 years = 2000 + 2000 = 4000 Compound Interest Principal = 4000   Rate = 15%   Time = 2 years Amount = 4000 × (1 + 15/100)²  = 4000 × (1.15)²  = 4000 × 1.3225 = 5290 Compound Interest = 5290 - 4000 = 1290
