Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : Rs. 2,112 Given: Principal Amount (P) = Rs. 4400 Time Period (T) = 2 years Compound Interest after two years (CI) = 1119.36 Formulae Used: If Principal = P, Time period = T, and Rate of Interest = R; Compound Interest (CI) = {P [1 + (R/100)]T} - P; and Simple Interest (SI) = (P × R × T)/100 Calculation: Using the formula for CI, we can obtain the rate of interest (R) as: Compound Interest (CI) = {P [1 + (R/100)]T} - P ⇒ 1119.36 = {4400 × [1 + (R/100)]2} - 4400 ⇒ 5519.36/4400 = [(100 + R)/100]2 ⇒ (100 + R)2 = 1.2544 × 10000 ⇒ (100 + R) = 112 ⇒ R = 12% Now, for calculating the Simple Interest, Rate of Interest remains the same, so Rate = R Time period doubles, so T = 4 years Hence, we can calculate the value of Simple Interest (SI), as: SI = (4400 × 12 × 4)/100 ⇒ SI = Rs. 2112 ∴ The simple interest on the sum at the same rate for double the time is Rs. 2112 |
