The compound interest and the simple interest on a certain sum of money for certain period of time and at the same rate of interest are the same find the time.

Answer»

\(C.I. = S.I\)

⇒ \(P\left( 1 + \frac R{100}\right)^T - P = \frac{PRT}{100}\)

⇒ \(P \left(\left(1 + \frac R {100}\right)^T - 1 \right) = \frac{PRT}{100}\)

⇒ \(\frac {RT}{100} = \left( 1 + \frac R{100}\right)^T - 1\)

⇒ \(\frac {RT}{100} + 1 = \left(\frac{100 + R}{100}\right) ^T\)

⇒ \(\frac{RT + 100}{100} = \left(\frac {R + 100}{100}\right)^T\)

For T = 1,

L.H.S = \(\frac{R + 100}{100}\)

R.H.S. = \(\frac{R + 100}{100}\) 

Hence, for after 1 year compound interest will be equal to simple interest.
