Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : Rs. 3328 Given: Rate of interest = 20% Years = 2 Principal amount = 8000 Formula used: Simple interest: (P × R × T) / 100 Compound interest: Amount = P (1 + (R/100))n Where, n = Number of years, P = Principal Amount, R = Rate of Interest, A = Amount Calculations: Here, 40% of amount is compounded ⇒ P for C.I. = (40 / 100) × 8000 ⇒ P for C.I. = 3200 ⇒ 3200 × (1 + (20 / 100))2 ⇒ 3200 × (6 / 5)2 ⇒ 3200 × 36 / 25 ⇒ 4608 ⇒ Interest earned = 4608 – 3200 ⇒ I = 1408 Now, ⇒ 60% of amount = 8000 – 3200 ⇒ P for S.I. = 4800 ⇒ 4800 × 20 × 2 / 100 ⇒ I = 1920 ∴ Total interest earned is Rs. 3328 |
