    Rs. 80Y invested for 6 years at simple interest of 15%

    p.a., yields an interest of Rs. 4320. If Rs. 100Y is invested for 2 years at compound interest (compounded annually) of 12% p.a., then find the amount received.
    A RS.5000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.7526 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.6922 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.3571 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, (80Y × 6 × 15) ÷ 100 = 72Y = 4320 So, Y = 4320 ÷ 72 = 60 And so, sum invested at compound interest = 100Y = 100 × 60 = Rs. 6000 So, required amount received = 6000 × {(1 + (12/100))}² = 6000 × 1.12² = Rs. 7526.
