An equal sum is invested in two different schemes. One scheme gives simple interest and the other gives compound interest (annual compounding). The sum of interest obtained after 2 years from both the schemes is Rs. 2961. If both schemes have 23% per annum interest rate, then what is the first year interest (in Rs.) of simple interest scheme?1). 5002). 11003). 7004). 900 |

Answer» Let RS. P be the principal. According to the question, (P × 23 × 2)/100 + P [(1 + 23/100)2 - 1] = 2961 ⇒ 0.46P + 0.5129P = 2961 ⇒ 0.9729P = 2961 ⇒ P = 2961/0.9729 So, SI for 1 YEAR = ((2961/0.9729) × 23 × 1)/100 = Rs. 700 Short TRICK: Total percentage of SI in 2 years = 23 + 23 = 46% And total percentage of CI in 2 years = 23 + 23 + (23 × 23)/100 = 51.29 According to question (CI + SI) = 46 + 51.29 = 97.29 ⇒ 97.29 unit = 2961 ∴ 23 unit = 2961/97.29 × 23 = 700 |
