The simple interest on a sum for 2 years at 6% is Rs. 360. The compound interest on the same sum for 2 years at 6% is:
A. Rs. 378.00
B. Rs. 375.20
C. Rs. 372.60
D. Rs. 370.80
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
SI = P × 6 × 2 /100 = 0.12P = 360 ⇒ P = 3000. CI = 3000[(1.06)² − 1] = 3000 × 0.1236 = Rs. 370.80. Wait 3000*0.1236 = 370.80. So answer A. I'll correct: A. I'll check: 1.06^2=1.1236, minus 1 = 0.1236, *3000 = 370.80. So option A. I'll set A. So I'll have correct answer A. Options: 370.80, 372.60, 375.20, 378.00. So answer A. I'll adjust accordingly.
Explanation:
Interest earned in the 4th year = 840 - 800 = Rs. 40. Rate of interest = (Interest / Principal at start of year) * 100 = (40 / 800) * 100 = 5%.
