Question

The difference between Compound Interest and Simple Interest on a certain sum for 2 years at 12.5% rate is Rs.45. What is the sum?

A.

Rs.2440

B.

Rs.2000

C.

Rs.2880

D.

Rs.3000

Correct option is C

Given:
Time = 2 years
Rate = 12.5%
Difference of the compound and simple interest of 2 years = Rs. 45
Formula used:
Difference of the compound and simple interest of 2 years = P(R100)2P \left(\frac{R}{100}\right)^2​​
Solution:

P(R100)2=45P×12.5100×12.5100=45P=Rs. 2880Then sum =Rs. 2880P \left(\frac{R}{100}\right)^2 = 45 \\P \times \frac{12.5}{100} \times \frac{12.5}{100} = 45 \\P = \text{Rs. } 2880 \\\text{Then sum } = \text{Rs. } 2880​​
