      Question

      The difference between the compound interest and simple

      interest on a certain sum for 2 years at 10% per annum is Rs. 72. Find the simple interest on the same sum at the same rate for 3 years.
      A 2200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 3720 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 2160 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 4320 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ, For 2 years: CI − SI = [P × (r²/100²)] ⇒ 72 = P × (10² / 10000) = P × (100 / 10000) = P/100 So P = 72 × 100 = 7,200 SI for 3 years = [(P × r × t)/100] = [(7200 × 10 × 3)/100] = 2,160.
