Question 98

If the compound interest for the $$3^{rd}$$ and $$4^{th}$$ year on a certain principal is Rs 125 and Rs 135 respectively, what is the rate of interest (in %)?

Solution
  • Interest for 4- years= ₹ 135
  • Interest for 3- years= ₹ 125.
  • Therefore interest for ₹ 125 for 1- year =₹10
  • So interest for ₹ 100 for 1- year =(10/125) x100 = ₹8
  • Therefore rate of interest= 8% .
  • C is correct choice.
