If the difference between the compound interest and simple interest at 17% on a sum of money for 2 years (compounded annually) is ₹433.50, then the sum (in ₹) is: |
15,000 25,000 20,000 12,000 |
15,000 |
Simple interest of 2 years = 17% + 17% = 34% Compound interest of 2 years = 17 + 17 + \(\frac{17×17}{100}\) = 34 + 2.89 = 36.89% Difference b/w CI and SI = 36.89 - 34 = 2.89% ATQ, 2.89% = 433.50 1% = \(\frac{433.50}{2.89 }\) = 150 Initial Sum = 100% = 100 × 150 = 15000 |
