      Question

      A sum when invested at simple interest of 10% p.a.

      becomes Rs. 2,100 in 4 years. If the same sum was invested at compound interest of 20% p.a. for 2 years, then what would be the amount received after 2 years?
      A Rs. 1,620 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs. 1,728 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs. 1,800 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs. 2,160 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Rs. 2,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Simple interest = (Sum Γ— Rate of interest Γ— Time period) Γ· 100 Let the sum invested be Rs. β€˜P’ So,
      2100 βˆ’ P = (P Γ— 10 Γ— 4) Γ· 100 Or,
      2100 βˆ’ P = 0.4P Or,
      2100 = 1.4P So,
      P = 1500 Amount received from second investment =
      P Γ— {1 + (Rate/100)}Β² Required amount =
      1500 Γ— (1 + 20/100)Β²
      = 1500 Γ— 1.44
      = Rs. 2,160
