    Question



    A principal invested at simple interest amounts to by 600% in 20 years. What will be the compound interest of Rs.500000 after 2 years at the same rate of interst?

    A.

    Rs.2,81,250

    B.

    Rs.1,40,625

    C.

    Rs.2,812.50

    D.

    Rs.5,62,500

    Correct option is A


    The principal amounts to 600% of itself. This means the interest earned is 600% - 100% = 500% of the principal.
    Let the principal be P.
    Simple interest (SI) = 500% of P = 5P.
    SI = (P x R x T) / 100
    5P = (P x R x 20) / 100
    5 = (R x 20) / 100
    500 = 20R
    R = 500 / 20 = 25%
    So, the simple interest rate is 25% per annum.
    Principal (P) = Rs. 500,000
    Rate (R) = 25%
    Time (T) = 2 years
    We can use the compound interest formula:
