    Question

    There is an 80% increase in an amount in 8 years at simple interest. What will be the amount received for
    Rs.6,000 after 2 years at the same rate, when compounded annually?

    A.

    Rs.7160

    B.

    Rs.6980

    C.

    Rs.7620

    D.

    Rs.7260

    Correct option is D

    Given:

    ​Increase in amount in 8 years = 80%
    Principal amount = Rs. 6000
    Time period = 2 years

    Formula Used:
    Simple Interest (SI)=Principal×Rate×Time100\text{Simple Interest (SI)} = \frac{\text{Principal} \times \text{Rate} \times \text{Time}}{100}​​

    A=P×(1+r100)tA = P \times \left(1 + \frac{r}{100}\right)^t​​

    Solution:
    ​Let the rate of interest be R% per annum.
    SI=Principal×Rate×Time100SI = \frac{\text{Principal} \times \text{Rate} \times \text{Time}}{100}​​

    0.8×Principal=Principal×R×81000.8 \times \text{Principal} = \frac{\text{Principal} \times R \times 8}{100}​​

    R=10%R = 10\%​​
    Amount=Principal×(1+Rate100)Time\text{Amount} = \text{Principal} \times \left( 1 + \frac{\text{Rate}}{100} \right)^{\text{Time}}​​

    Amount=6000×(1+10100)2\text{Amount} = 6000 \times \left(1 + \frac{10}{100}\right)^2​​

    Amount=6000×1.12\text{Amount} = 6000 \times 1.1^2​​
    Amount=Rs. 7260\text{Amount} = \text{Rs.} \ 7260
    Therefore, the amount received after 2 years at the same rate, when compounded annually, is Rs. 7260.​​
