Compound Interest

Question:

A sum of ₹3000 is invested on compound interest (compounded annually) at the rate of interest is 20% per annum. What is the compound interest for 2 years?

Options:

₹1360

₹1200

₹1320

₹1440

Correct Answer:

₹1320

Explanation:

From the formula for compound interest, we know,

C.I = P(1+$\frac{R}{100})^t$– P

= 3000 [ 1 + \(\frac{20}{100}\) ]² - 3000

= 3000 [ \(\frac{6}{5}\) × \(\frac{6}{5}\) - 1 ]

= 3000 [ \(\frac{11}{25}\) ]

= Rs. 1320
