Question 62
A certain amount which was loaned on simple interest doubled in 10 years Then the amount received is loaned on compound interest for another 2 years on the same rate What is the total rise in the amount after 12 years with the initial principal amount ?
Solution
The amount doubled in 10 years. So, the interest = principle.
So, rt/100 = 1
r = 10% pa
Now compound interest = ?
2P $$(1 + .1) ^ {2}$$ = 2P x 1.21 = 2.42P
Total rise is P to 2.42P = rise of 142%
