Question 54

A sum increases by 100% in 8 years at a certain rate of Simple Interest. What will be the Compound Interest on Rs.8000 after 2 years at the same rate of interest?

Solution

Let say, rate of interest= r%.

So, P(1+8r/100)=2P

or, 8r/100=1

or, r =12.5 %.

So, compounded amount=

$$8000(1+0.125)^2$$

=10125.

Compound interest=10125-8000=2125 Rs.

A is correct choice.
