The difference between simple interest and compound interest on a certain sum of money for 3 years at 20% per annum is Rs. 640. Find the sum. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Explanation:
Difference for 3 years = P * (R/100)^2 * (3 + R/100) => 244 = P * (5/100)^2 * (3 + 5/100) => 244 = P * (1/400) * (3.05) => P = (244 * 400) / 3.05 = 97600 / 3.05 = Rs. 32000.

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).

Explanation:
2²=4, so 5×2=10 years.
