    SIP B. SIP A offers simple interest at 15% per annum, while SIP B offers compound interest at 20% per annum. After 3 years, the interest earned from SIP A is Rs. 5400, which is Rs. 4610 less than the interest earned from SIP B over the same period. Determine the value of (b – a).

    C Rs.1200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.1000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Simple interest from SIP 'A' = Rs. 5400 So, a × 0.15 × 3 = 5400 a = 12000 Compound interest from SIP 'B' = 5400 + 4610 = Rs. 10010 So, b × {(1.2)³ – 1} = 10010 0.728b = 10010 b = 13750 Therefore, (b – a) = 13750 – 12000 = Rs. 1750
