A certain sum amounts to ₹29,282 in 4 years at 10% p.a, when the interest is compounded yearly.What is the simple interest (in ₹) on the same sum for 5 years at the same rate?
Given,
Amount = ₹29282
Rate = 10%
Time = 4 years
As we know ,
$$A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{100}\right)^n$$
$$29282=P\left(1+\frac{10}{100}\right)^4$$
$$29282=P\left(\frac{11}{10}\times\ \frac{11}{10}\times\ \frac{11}{10}\times\ \frac{11}{10}\right)$$
By solving, We get
P = ₹20000
Now,
R = 10%
Time = 5 year
Simple Interest = $$\frac{P\times\ R\times\ T}{100}$$
= $$\frac{20000\times10\times\ 5}{100}=₹10000$$
Hence, Option A is correct
