The simple interest on certain sum of money is Rs. 4096 for 4 years at the rate of 12.5%
per annum. What will be the compound interest if the same sum of money is kept for 2
years at same rate of interest compounded annually?
1. Rs. 2657
2. Rs. 1857
3. Rs. 2176
4, Rs. 3258
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Option 3: Rs. 2176
Detailed Solution
Given:
Rs. 4096
R=125%pa.
N=4,2years
Formula used:
1=PxRxN/100A=Px(1+(R/100))%
Where, P = Principal amount, R = Rate of interest, N = number of years and | = Simple interest
Calculation:
Here, |= 4096
= 4096 = Px 12.5x 4/100
= P = 4096 x 100/ (4% 12.5)
=P =8192
Now, using P for calculating compound interest
= A=8192 x (1.125)?
= A=8192x 9x 9/ (8x8)
= A= 10368
= 1= 10368 - 8192
+ Compound interest obtained is Rs. 2176
