      years and repaid a total of Rs. 40,800. If he had instead taken the same loan at r % per annum compound interest, compounded annually for 2 years, he would have paid Rs. 2,400 more in interest. Find the value of r.

      C 12 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 18 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 20 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let principal = Rs. P
      Given, P + (P * 18 * 2)/100 = 40800
      => P = 30000
      S.I = 40800 - 30000 = Rs. 10800
      C.I = 10800 + 2400 = Rs. 13200
      Total amount at C.I = 30000 + 13200 = Rs. 43200
      30000(1+r/100) 2 Β = 43200
      =>(1+r/100) 2 Β = 144/100
      => 1 + r/100 = 12/10
      =>r = 20
