Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : Rs. 512.5 Given: I = 20% of P (S.I.) N = 4 years For C.I. P = 5000, N = 2 Years Formula used: A = P × {1 + (R / 100)}N Where P = Principal amount, R = Rate of interest in %, N = Number of years I = PRN / 100 Where P = Principal amount, R = Rate of interest in %, N = Number of years, I = Interest earned A = P - I Calculation: Here, I = (P × R × 4) / 100 ⇒ 0.20P = 4PR / 100 ⇒ 20 = 4 × R ⇒ R = 5% Now, calculating C.I ⇒ A = 5000 × {1 + (5 / 100)}2 ⇒ A = 5000 × (21 × 21) / (20 × 20) ⇒ A = 12.5 × 21 × 21 ⇒ A = 5512.5 C.I. = 5512.5 – 5000 ⇒ C.I. = 512.5 ∴ Required compound interest is Rs. 512.5 |
