Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : Rs.2250.43 Given: Time (T) = 2 years Time (n) = 3 years Formula used: S.I. = (P × R × T)/100 A = P(1 + R/100)n Where A → amount n → time S.I. → Simple Interest P → Principal R → Rate T → Time Calculations: Let the principal be Rs. P and the rate be R p.a. The principal after 2 years = P + 14P/100 According to the question, P + 14P/100 = P + (P × R × 2)/100 ⇒ 1 + (14/100) = R/50 ⇒ R = 50 × (14/100) = 7% Now A = 10000(1 + 7/100)3 ⇒ A = 10000 × (107/100) × (107/100) × (107/100) ⇒ A = Rs.12250.43 Thus C.I. = 12250.43 - 10000 = Rs.2250.43 ∴ The compound interest earned on Rs10,000 in 3 years is Rs.2250.43. |
