Question

If the simple interest on a sum of money for 2 years at 5% per annum is Rs. 50, what is the compound interest on the same at the same rate and for the same time?

Options:
A .  Rs. 51.25
B .  Rs. 52
C .  Rs. 54.25
D .  Rs. 60
Answer: Option A

Sum = Rs. \(\left(\frac{50\times100}{2\times5}\right)= Rs. 500. \)


Amount  =  Rs.  \(\left[500\times\left(1+\frac{5}{100}\right)^{2}\right]\)


= Rs.  \(\left(500\times\frac{21}{20}\times\frac{21}{20}\right)\)


= Rs. 551.25


 So, C.I. = Rs. (551.25 - 500) = Rs. 51.25
