Question

At what rate of compound interest per annum will a sum of Rs. 1200 become Rs. 1348.32 in  2 years ?


Options:
A .  6%
B .  6.5%
C .  7%
D .  7.5%
Answer: Option A

Let the rate be  R%  p.a.  Then ,

`1200 xx (1 + R/100)^2 = 1348.32`

`hArr     (1 + R/100)^2 =  134832/120000` =  `11236/10000`

`:.`     `(1 + R/100)^2 =  (106/100)^2`

or `1 + R/100 =  106/100`

or  R = 6%
