Compound Interest

Question:

If the compound interest on a principal for one year is ₹350 and the compound interest for the second year is ₹420, find the rate of interest.

Options:

30%

20%

25%

15%

Correct Answer:

20%

Explanation:

Difference in interest of 2nd and 3rd year = 420 - 350 = Rs. 70

Rate of interest = \(\frac{70}{350}\) × 100%

= \(\frac{1}{5}\) × 100%

= 20%
