    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​​
