A) Rs. 50000

B) Rs. 500000

C) Rs. 100000

D) Rs. 10000

Correct Answer:

Description for Correct answer:
Rate % = 4 %,

Time = 2 years

Difference between CI and SI = Rs. 800

Difference =\( \Large \frac{ \left(R^{2}\right) }{100}=\frac{ \left(4\right)^{2} }{100} \)=0.16%

0.16 % of sum = Rs.800

Sum =\( \Large \frac{800}{0.16} \times 100 \) = Rs. 5,00,000

Hence required sum = Rs. 5,00,000

Given:

Compound interest = Rs. 84.

Simple interest = Rs. 80

Time = 2 years

Concept used:

For 1st-year, compound interest is equal to the simple interest.

Calculation:

Simple interest remains the same for every year. 

So, simple interest for the 1st year = simple interest for the 2nd year = Rs. 80/2 

⇒ Rs. 40

Again, compound interest for the 1st year = Rs. 40

Now, the compound interest for the 2nd year = Rs. (84 - 40)

⇒ Simple interest for the 2nd + R% × Simple interest for the 1st year = Rs. 44

⇒ 40 + (R/100) × 40 = Rs. 44

⇒ (R/100) × 40 = Rs. 4

⇒ R = 400/40

⇒ R = 10%

∴ The rate percent per annum is 10%.

Is the difference between the simple and compound interest on a sum of money for 2 years at 4% per annum is rupees 80 the sum is?

Difference between C.I and S.I for 2 years = P(R/100)2

Where, P = Principal, R = Rate of interest 

SI = 80 = PRT/100

⇒ 80 = 2PR/100

⇒ P = 4000/R      ---- (1)

Difference between CI and SI = 84 - 80 = 4 

Using formula we'll get

4 = P(R/100)2 

Putting value of P from above, we'll get

4 = 4000R/10000

⇒ R = 10%

∴ Rate of interest is 10%
