Compound Interest

Question:

Compound interest (compounding annually) on a sum for 2 years is Rs. 4180. If rate of interest is 20 percent per annum then what is the sum?

Options:

Rs. 8800

Rs. 9800

Rs. 9500

Rs. 8500

Correct Answer:

Rs. 9500

Explanation:

Compound interest at rate of 20% p.a. for 2 years = 20 + 20 + \(\frac{20×20}{100}\)

= 40 +4

= 44%

ATQ,

44% = 4180

1% = \(\frac{4180}{44}\) = 95

Initial sum = 100% = 100 × 95 = 9500
