Compound Interest

Question:

The compounded interest (compounded annually) on a certain sum at the rate of 6 percent per annum for two years is Rs. 4944. What would be the simple interest on the same sum at the same rate of interest for two years?

Options:

8400

4800

4080

4008

Correct Answer:

4800

Explanation:

CI for 2 years at 6% per annum = (6 + 6 + \(\frac{6 × 6}{100}\)) = 12.36%

ATQ,

Principal × 12.36% = 4944

Principal = Rs. 40000

S.I. = \(\frac{P\;×\;R\;×\;T}{100}\) = \(\frac{40000 × 6 × 2}{100}\) = Rs. 4800
