Compound Interest

Question:

What is the difference in compound interest earned in 1 year on a sum of Rs. 10,000 at the rate of 40% per annum compounded quarterly and annually?

Options:

Rs. 421

Rs. 641

Rs. 161

Rs. 341

Correct Answer:

Rs. 641

Explanation:

Annually rate = 40%

Quarterly rate = \(\frac{40}{4}\) = 10%

Total C.I. of 4 quarters = 46.41%

Difference = 46.41% – 40% = 6.41%

Difference (in Rs.) = 10000 × 6.41% = Rs.641
