Question

The compound interest on a certain sum of money for 2 years at 5% per annum is Rs. 1025. What would be the simple interest on the same sum at the same rate for the same time?

A. Rs. 1020

B. Rs. 980

C. Rs. 1000

D. Rs. 1010

Answer: Option C

Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)

Effective rate of compound interest for 2 years at 5% = 5 + 5 + (55)/100 = 10.25%. Simple interest rate = 5 * 2 = 10%. Given 10.25% of sum = 1025 => 1% of sum = 100. Simple Interest = 10% of sum = 10 * 100 = Rs. 1000.

Correct Answer: Option A

Explanation:
Simple Interest for 1 year = 504 / 3 = Rs. 168. Principal P = (168 * 100) / 7 = Rs. 2400. Effective compound interest rate for 2 years at 7% = 7 + 7 + (77)/100 = 14.49%. Compound Interest = 14.49% of 2400 = 24 * 14.49 = Rs. 347.76. (Let's check math: 2400 * 0.1449 = 347.76. Let's fix text parameters to reach B=352.80. If P = 2400, rate = 7%, CI = 2400 * 1.07 * 1.07 - 2400 = 2400 * 1.1449 - 2400 = 347.76. If rate was 7.15%... Let's use clean parameters: P = 2400, rate = 5%, 2 years => CI = 2400 * 10.25% = 246. Let's replace the whole item with verified simple calculation).
