The compound interest on a certain sum of money at 21% for 2 years is ₹11,602.5. Its simple interest (in ₹) at the same rate and for the same period is:
Given CI = ₹ 11,602.5, T = 2 yrs , R = 21%
As we know
CI = $$P(1 + \frac{R}{100})^T - P$$
$$\Rightarrow$$ CI = $$P(1 +\frac{21}{100})^2 - P$$
$$\Rightarrow $$CI = $$P(\frac{121}{100})^2 - P$$
$$\Rightarrow$$ CI = $$P(\frac{14641}{10000}- 1)$$
$$\Rightarrow$$ CI = $$ P\times \frac{4641}{10000}$$
$$\Rightarrow P $$= CI $$\times \frac{10000}{4641}$$
$$\Rightarrow P $$= 11,602.5 $$\times \frac{10000}{4641}$$
$$\Rightarrow P = ₹25000 $$
Simple Interest = $$ \frac{P \times R \times T}{100}$$
$$\Rightarrow$$ SI = $$\frac{25000\times2\times21}{100}$$
$$\Rightarrow$$ SI = $$₹10,500$$
