The compound interest on a certain sum of money for 2 years at 8% per annum is Rs. 832. What would be the simple interest on the same sum at the same rate for the same time?
Explanation:
Effective rate of compound interest for 2 years at 8% = 8 + 8 + (88)/100 = 16.64%. Simple interest rate = 8 * 2 = 16%. Given 16.64% of sum = 832 => 1% of sum = 50. Simple Interest = 16% of sum = 16 * 50 = Rs. 800.
