In 2 years simple interest on the certain sum of money is Rs. 4944. If the rate of interest is 15 times of time. Find the compound interest on the same amount of money at the same time, at the same rate.
1. Rs. 4658.5
2. Rs. 4585.9
3. Rs. 5685.6
4. Rs. 5674.6
Correct Answer – Option 3 : Rs. 5685.6
Given:
Simple interest = Rs. 4944
Time = 2 years
The rate percent is 15 times of the time
Rate% = 30
Concept used:
C.I. = P{(1 + R/100)T – 1}
S.I. = (P × R × T)/100
S.I. → Simple interest
P → Principal
T → Time
R → Rate%
C.I. → Compound interest
Calculations:
The rate percent is 15 times of the time
Rate% = 2 × 15 = 30%
S.I. = (P × R × T)/100
⇒ 4944 = (P × 30 × 2)/100
⇒ P = Rs. 8240
C.I. = P{(1 + R/100)T – 1}
⇒ 8240{(1 + 30/100)2 – 1}
⇒ 8240{(13/10) × (13/10) – 1}
⇒ 8240 × 69/100
⇒ Rs. 5685.6
∴ The compound interest at the same rate of interest at same sum is Rs. 5685.6
