Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 1050

Given:

Amount = Rs. 6,050

Time = 2 years

Rate of interest = 10% p.a.

Formula Used:

[(100 + Rate of interest)/100]Time = (Amount/Principal)

Compound Interest = Amount - Principal

Calculation:

Let assume that Principal = x

So,

[(100 + Rate of interest)/100]Time = (Amount/Principal)

⇒ [(100 + 10)/100]2 = (6050/ x)

⇒ (110/100) × (110/100) = (6050/ x)

⇒ (121/100) = (6050/x)

By cross multiplying

⇒ x = 6050 × (100/121)

⇒ x = 5,000

Compound Interest = Amount - Principal

⇒ Compound Interest = 6,050 - 5,000

⇒ Compound Interest = Rs. 1,050

∴ The compound interest is Rs. 1,050

The correct option is 2 i.e. Rs. 1,050
