Question
The difference between the compound interest and simple interest accrued on an amount at the end of three years at the rate of 12% is Rs.381.888. What is the amount?
Options:
A .  Rs. 9500
B .  Rs. 8400
C .  Rs. 7200
D .  Rs.8000
E .  None of these
Answer: Option E


C.I = P[(1+R/100)T - 1]
= P[(1+12/100)3 - 1] = P[(28/25)3 - 1]
= P[(21952/15625) - 1]
= 6327P/15625
S.I = (P * 3 * 12)/100 = Rs. 9P/25
6327P/15625 - 9P/25 = 381.888
=> 702P/15625 = 381.888
=> P = (381.888*15625)/702
= Rs. 8500
