    Question

    What will be the difference between the compound interest and simple interest on a sum of Rs.100 at 10% per annum for 2 years?

    A.

    Rs.2

    B.

    Rs.1.50

    C.

    Rs.0.50

    D.

    Rs.1

    Correct option is D


    Compound interest of Rs.100 at 10% for 2 years
    100(1+10/100)^2 – 100 = 121 – 100 = Rs 21
    Simple interest of Rs. 100 at 10% for 2 year
    = (100×10×2)/100
    Difference between the compound interest and simple interest.
    = 21 – 20 = Rs.1
