The difference between SI and CI for a certain sum at 15% rate of interest for 2 years is Rs. 360. What is the ratio between the difference between SI and CI for 2 years and the difference between SI and CI for 3 years at same rate of interest?
The difference between SI and CI for a certain sum at 15% rate of interest for 2 years is Rs. 360. What is the ratio between the difference between SI and CI for 2 years and the difference between SI and CI for 3 years at same rate of interest? Correct Answer 20 ∶ 63
Difference between SI and CI (D) = Rs. 360
Rate of interest (R) = 15%
Time period (T) = 2 years
We know that ∶
D = P(R/100)T
360 = P × (15/100)2
360 = P × 225/10000
P = Rs. 16000
Now, the difference for 3 years:
D = P × (R/100)2 ×
D = 16000 × (15/100)2 × (315/100)
D = 16000 × (225/10000) × (315/100)
D = Rs. 1134
Required ratio = 360 ∶ 1134 = 20 ∶ 63
