The compound interest on a sum of money for 2 years is rs 615 and the simple interest for the same period is rs 600. What is the principal?
Rs.150
Rs.140
Rs.130
Rs.6000
Answer with explanation
Answer: Option DExplanation
Given :
Simple interest for two years = 600
Compound Interest for two years = 615
Analysis/Interpretation :
SI for first year = 300
SI for second year = 300
CI for first year = 300
CI for second year = 315
The additional CI of Rs 15 is interest on Rs 300 interest received in first year. So rate of interest is 15/300 x 100 = 5%.
Now, interest of Rs 300 at the end of first year @ 5% pa means principal at the beginning of the year is :
P = 300/5 x 100 = Rs 6000

A certain sum yields Rs 10110 in 6 years and Rs 6740 in 3 years on compound interest. What is the sum?
Rs 4500
Rs 4493
Rs 4490
Rs 4490
Answer with explanation
Answer: Option BExplanation
Let P be the sum to be found.
In 3 years, P(1 + r/100)3= 6740 —— (1)
And, In 6 years, P(1 + r/100)6= 10110—— (2)
Dividing both, we get,
(1 + r/100)3 = 10110/6740 = 3/2
Substituting this value in – (1)
P×(3/2) = 6740
P = 4493.33
