Find the ratio of the simple interest and the compound interest on ₹100 at 10% per annum for 2 years, if, when compounded, interest is compounded annually. |
13 : 32 20 : 21 21 : 20 32 : 13 |
20 : 21 |
Simple Interest = \(\frac{Principal ×Rate × Time }{100}\) = \(\frac{100 ×10 × 2 }{100}\) = 20 Compound Interest = Principal × ( 1 + \(\frac{rate}{100}\) )t - Principal = 100 × ( 1 + \(\frac{10}{100}\) )² - 100 = 100 × \(\frac{11}{10}\) × \(\frac{11}{10}\) - 100 = 121 - 100 = 21 So , Ratio of simple interest to compound interest = 20 : 21 |
