    Question

    If the difference between compound interest (compounded

    annually) and simple interest earned in two years at 25% p.a., is Rs. 1,000, then find the sum invested.
    A Rs. 12,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 20,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 16,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 18,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the sum invested be Rs. 'P' Simple interest earned = {(P × 25 × 2)/100} = Rs. '0.5P' Compound interest = P × [{1 + (25/100)}² – 1] = Rs. '0.5625P' ATQ; 0.5625P – 0.5P = 1000 Or, 0.0625P = 1000 So, P = 16,000
