Question

What is the difference between Compound Interest and Simple Interest on Rs.1000 at 10% after 4 years?

A.

Rs.74

B.

Rs.64.10

C.

Rs.16.40

D.

Rs.52

Correct option is B

Given:
​Principal (P) = Rs. 1000
Rate of interest (R) = 10% per annum
Time (T) = 4 years
Formula Used:
Simple Interest (SI) formula:
SI=P×R×T100SI = \frac{P \times R \times T}{100}​​
Compound Interest (CI) formula (for annual compounding):
CI=P(1+R100)TPCI = P \left(1 + \frac{R}{100}\right)^T - P​​
Difference = CI − SI

Solution:

=> P= 1000, r = 10% and time = 4 years
As we know, => A = P(1 + r/100)t
=> A = 1000 (1 + 10/100)4
=> A = 1000 × 11/10 × 11/10 × 11/10 × 11/10
A =1464.1
CI =1464.1-1000 = 464.1
As we know, SI =Prt/100
=> SI =(1000 × 10 × 4)/100 => SI = 400
Difference between CI and SI for 4 years = 464.1-400 = 64.1 ​​
