The difference between simple and compound interests compounded annually on a certain sum of money for 2 years at 4% per annum is Rs 1. Find the sum

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
S.I. = \frac{P*R*T}{100} \\
P = \frac{50*100}{5*2} = 500\\

Amount = 500(1+\frac{5}{100})^2 \\
500(\frac{21}{20} * \frac{21}{20}) \\
= 551.25 \\

C.I. = 551.25 - 500 = 51.25


\end{aligned}

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let the Sum be P
\begin{aligned}
S.I. = \frac{P*4*2}{100} = \frac{2P}{25}\\

C.I. = P(1+\frac{4}{100})^2 - P \\

= \frac{676P}{625} - P \\
= \frac{51P}{625} \\
\text{As, C.I. - S.I = 1}\\
=> \frac{51P}{625} - \frac{2P}{25} = 1 \\
=> \frac{51P - 50P}{625} = 1 \\
P = 625
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Let the amount Rs 100 for 1 year when compounded half yearly, n = 2, Rate = 6/2 = 3%

\begin{aligned}
Amount = 100(1+\frac{3}{100})^2 = 106.09
\end{aligned}

Effective rate = (106.09 - 100)% = 6.09%

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

S.I. on Rs 800 for 1 year = 40

Rate = (100*40)/(800*1) = 5%

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Principal = Rs.1000;
Amount = Rs.1331;
Rate = Rs.10%p.a.

Let the time be n years then,

\begin{aligned}
1000(1+\frac{10}{100})^n = 1331 \\

(\frac{11}{10})^n = \frac{1331}{1000} \\

(\frac{11}{10})^3 = \frac{1331}{1000} \\

\end{aligned}
So answer is 3 years
