    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 ​​
