Question 25

There is 100% increase to an amount in 8 years, at simple interest. Find the compound interest of Rs. 8000 after 2 years at the same rate of interest.

Solution

I = PTR/100

there is 100% increase in amount means, interest = principle. 

given, T = 8yrs.

I = P

P = P*8*R/100

R = 12.5%

compound interest of 8000/- at 12.5% for 2 years is 

CI = total amount - 8000/-

    = P$$(1+R/100)^{n}$$ - 8000/-

    = 8000$$(1+12.5/100)^{2}$$ - 8000/-

    = 10125 - 8000

    = 2125/-

so the answer is option D.
