In 4 years simple interest on a principal amount is 20% of the principal amount. Calculate compound interest at same rate when Rs. 5000 is invested for 2 years.1. Rs. 527.22. Rs. 524.83. Rs. 512.54. Rs. 508.2

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
