Question : The amount received after 8 years on a certain sum of money invested at the rate of 18% simple interest per annum is INR 1,220. What was the initial sum invested?

Option 1: INR 500

Option 2: INR 480

Option 3: INR 420

Option 4: INR 450

Team Careers360 14th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: INR 500


Solution : Total amount = INR 1,220
Term, $n$ = 8 years
Rate, $R$ = 18%
Let $P$ be the principal sum.
Simple interest, SI = $1220-P$
Simple Interest = $\frac{\text{Principal × time × Rate}}{100}$
$⇒1220-P = \frac{P×8×18}{100}$
$⇒122000-100P = 144P$
$⇒244P = 122000$
$\therefore P

Question : If interest is being compounded annually, then what sum will amount to Rs. 4036.8 in 2 years at the rate of 16% per annum at compound interest?

Option 1: Rs. 3000

Option 2: Rs. 1500

Option 3: Rs. 4000

Option 4: Rs. 2500

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Rs. 3000


Solution : Amount = Rs. 4036.8
Time = 2 years
Rate = 16%
Let the principal be $P$.
We know that,
$ A= P(1+\frac{R}{100})^{T}$
⇒ $ 4036.8= P(1+\frac{16}{100})^{2}$
⇒ $ 4036.8= P(\frac{29}{25})^{2}$
⇒ $ 4036.8= P\times\frac{29}{25}\times\frac{29}{25}$
⇒ $ P=\frac{4036.8\times25\times25}{29\times 29}$
$\therefore P=3000$
Hence, the correct answer
