 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Rs 6316
Given information:
  • Amount deposited on compound interest becomes Rs 5700 after three years
  • Same amount becomes Rs 6000 after four years
Let's assume that the principal amount is P and the rate of interest is r, compounded annually. Then, we can use the following formula for compound interest:
A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)
Where,A is the amount after t years,n is the number of times the interest is compounded in a year,t is the time in years,and r is the annual interest rate.
Using this formula, we can form the following equations:
5700 = P(1 + r/1)^(13)6000 = P(1 + r/1)^(14)
Dividing the second equation by the first, we get:
(1 + r)^4 / (1 + r)^3 = 6000/5700
Simplifying, we get:
1 + r = 1.025
r = 0.025
Now, we can use the same formula to find the amount after 5 years:
A = P(1 + r/1)^(1*5)
Substituting the value of r, we get:
A = P(1.025)^5
We don't know the value of P, but we can find it using the information given in the question. If the amount becomes Rs 5700 after 3 years, then the interest earned in the first 3 years is:
I = 5700 - P
Using the formula for compound interest, we can write:
5700 = P(1 + 0.025)^3P = 5700 / 1.025^3
Similarly, if the amount becomes Rs 6000 after 4 years, then the interest earned in the first 4 years is:
I = 6000 - P
Using the formula for compound interest, we can write:
6000 = P(1 + 0.025)^4P = 6000 / 1.025^4
We can equate these two values of P and solve for I:
5700 / 1.025^3 = 6000 / 1.025^4
I = 183.28
So, the principal amount is:
P = 5700 - 183.28 = 5516.72
Now, we can use this value of P to find the amount after 5 years:
A = 5516.72(1.025)^5 = 6316.10
Therefore, the correct answer is option B, Rs 6316.If you think the solution is wrong then please provide your own solution below in the comments section .
Question 30.

  1. Every year an amount increases by th of itself. How much will it be after two years if its present value is Rs 64000?

  1.    Rs 80000
  2.    Rs 81000
  3.    Rs 82000
  4.    Rs 83000
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Rs 81000
