      Question

      A certain sum amounts to Rs. 2400 in 4 years and to Rs.

      3456 in 6 years, when invested at R% p.a. compound interest, compounded annually. Find the amount received when Rs. 2000 is invested at (R – 5)% p.a. simple interest for 3 years.
      A Rs. 2480 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs. 2720 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs. 2840 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs. 2900 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let, the sum invested at compound interest be Rs. ‘P’ According to the question, {P(1 + R/100)⁶}/{P(1 + R/100)⁴} = 3456/2400 Or, (1 + R/100)² = 1.44 = (1 + 20/100)² Or, R = 20 Therefore, new rate of interest = 20 – 5 = 15% Required amount received at simple interest
      = {(2000 × 15 × 3)/100} + 2000
      = 900 + 2000
      = Rs. 2900
