Question 86

The compound interest earned by Suresh on a certain amount at the end of two years at the rate of 8 p.c.p.a was Rs. 1,414.4. What was the total amount that Suresh got back at the end of two years in the form of principal plus interest earned?

Solution

Compound Interest after 2 years = 1414.4

$$P(1+\frac{8}{100})^2 - P$$ = 1414.4

=> $$P(1.08)^2 - P$$ = 1414.4

=> 0.1664P = 1414.4

=> P = 8500

Therefore amount = 8500 + 1414.14 = 9914.14
