      Question

      A sum becomes Rs. 5100 in 3 years and Rs. 6100 in 5

      years at simple interest. What would be the interest if this sum is invested at 10% p.a. compound interest for 2 years?
      A Rs.756 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs.220 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs.152 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs.500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Simple interest earned in two years = 6100 – 5100 = Rs. 1000

      Simple interest earned in 1 year = Rs. 500

      So, sum invested = 5100 – 3 Γ— 500 = 5100 – 1500 = Rs. 3600

      Desired interest = [(1.10)Β² – 1] Γ— 3600 = 0.21 Γ— 3600 = Rs. 756
