Question
A certain sum when invested at compound interest of 8%
p.a. amounts to Rs. 5832 in 2 years. Find the amount received when the same sum is invested at 12% p.a. simple interest for 5 years.Solution
Let the sum invested at compound interest be Rs. x
According to the question,
x(1 + 8/100) 2 = 5832
or, x = 5832/1.1664 = Rs. 5000
Required amount received = {(5000 × 12 × 5)/100} + 5000 = Rs. 8000
