The simple interest on a sum of money at 10% per annum for 4 years is ₹3,200. What will be the amount (in ₹) of the same sum for the same period at the same rate of interest when the interest is compounded annually? |
11,217.80 11,172.80 11,127.80 11,712.80 |

Simple interest =10% S.I. for 4 years = 10 × 4 = 40% Therefore, ⇒ 40% of Principal = 3200 ⇒ Principal = \(\frac{3200}{40}\) × 100 = Rs. 8000 Now, Amount at (C.I.) = P (1+\(\frac{R}{100}\))t = 8000 (1+\(\frac{10}{100}\))4 = 8000(\(\frac{11}{10}\))4 = Rs. 11712.80 |
