Choose correct option from the following Quantity I: On a certain sum of money difference between compound interest compounded every 6 month at 20% p.a. and simple interest at same rate of interest for one year is Rs 150 then calculate sum of money Quantity II: Calculate sum of money on which difference between compound interest and simple interest for period of three years at 20% p.a. rate of interest is Rs 1280
Choose correct option from the following Quantity I: On a certain sum of money difference between compound interest compounded every 6 month at 20% p.a. and simple interest at same rate of interest for one year is Rs 150 then calculate sum of money Quantity II: Calculate sum of money on which difference between compound interest and simple interest for period of three years at 20% p.a. rate of interest is Rs 1280 Correct Answer Quantity I > Quantity II
Given:
20% p.a. = compounded bi yearly
Difference between compound interest and simple interest = Rs 150
20% p.a. = 3 years
C.I. – S.I. = 1280
Formula used:
Net effect formula for CI = x + y + (x × y)/100
Calculation:
Quantity I :
Compound Interest (Half yearly compounded) = 10% (∵ 20/2 = 10)
⇒ Effective rate of percentage = 10 + 10 + (100/100)
⇒ Effective rate of percentage = 21%
Simple interest = 20%
Now, C.I – S.I. = Rs 150
⇒ 1% of sum = Rs 150
⇒ Sum = 150 × 100
⇒ Sum = 15,000
Quantity II:
Compound interest for three years = 20%
⇒ Effective percentage rate of first and second year = 20 + 20 + (400/100)
⇒ Effective percentage = 44%
⇒ Effective percentage of previous an third year = 44 + 20 + (880/ 100)
⇒ Effective percentage = 72.8%
Simple interest for three years = 20 × 3
⇒ Simple interest for three years = 60%
Now, (72.8 – 60%) of sum = 1280
⇒ 12.8% of sum = 1280
⇒ sum = 1280 × 100/12.8
⇒ sum of money = Rs 10,000
∴ Quantity I > Quantity II
