      Question

      A certain principal amounts to Rs. 6300 in 6 years and

      Rs. 7100 in 8 years on simple interest. Calculate the interest earned when invested at 15% p.a. compound interest for 2 years.
      A Rs.1257.75 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs.1220.45 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs.1202.65 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs.1500.25 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Simple interest earned in two years = 7100 – 6300 = Rs. 800

      Simple interest earned in 1 year = Rs. 400

      So, sum invested = 6300 – 6 Γ— 400 = 6300 – 2400 = Rs. 3900

      Desired interest = [(1.15)Β² – 1] Γ— 3900 = 0.3225 Γ— 3900 = Rs.1257.75
