    Question

    An amount of Rs. 3,000 is invested for 2 years at a

    compound interest rate of 10% per annum. The interest gained is used to buy an item. If the item is then sold at a gain of 20%, determine its selling price.
    A Rs.756 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.591 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.654 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.712 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Compound interest earned = 3000 Γ— {1 + (10/100)}Β² – 3000

    = 3000 Γ— (1.1)Β² – 3000

    = 3000 Γ— 1.21 – 3000 = 3630 – 3000 = Rs. 630

    Selling price of the item = 630 Γ— 1.20 = Rs. 756
