Question 62

On what principal will the compound interest for 3 years at 5% per annum amount to ₹63.05?

Solution

Let principal amount be Rs. $$P$$

Rate of interest = 5% for 3 years

Compound interest = $$P[(1+\frac{R}{100})^T-1]$$

=> $$P[(1+\frac{5}{100})^3-1]=63.05$$

=> $$P[(\frac{21}{20})^3-1]=63.05$$

=> $$P\times(\frac{9261-8000}{8000})=63.05$$

=> $$P=63.05\times\frac{8000}{1261}=Rs.$$ $$400$$

=> Ans - (A)
