      per annum is Rs 240 less than the compound interest on the same sum for 2 years at 20% per annum. The sum is?
      A Rs 6000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs 5500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs 6500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs 7200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Rs 6500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Simple interest at 10% for 4 years =10*4 = 40%
      Compound interest at 20% for 2 years = 20 + 20 + (20*20)/100 = 40 + 4 = 44%
      Let the sum be Rs 'P'
      44% of P - 40% of P = 240
      4% of P = 240
      P = (240*100)/4 = 60*100 = Rs 6000
