A sum of ₹1000 is invested on compound interest (compounding annually) for three years. If the rate of interest is 10% per annum for the first two years and 50% per annum for the third year, then what will be the interest? |
₹612 ₹655 ₹815 ₹756 |
₹815 |
From the formula for compound interest, we know, C.I = P(1+$\frac{R}{100})^t$– P = 1000 [ 1 + \(\frac{10}{100}\) ]² × [ 1 + \(\frac{50}{100}\) ] - 1000 = 1000 [ \(\frac{11}{10}\) × \(\frac{11}{10}\) × \(\frac{3}{2}\) - 1 ] = 1000 [ \(\frac{363}{200}\) - 1 ] = 1000 [ \(\frac{163}{200}\) ] = Rs. 815 |
