The Compound interest earned on Rs. x in 3rd year is equal to the simple interest of 1 year on Rs. 33880. If the rate of compound interest is 10% per annum and the rate of simple interest is 25% per annum. Find the value of Rs x which was given on Compound Interest. Correct Answer Rs. 70000
Simple interest on Rs. 33880 at the rate of 25% for 1 year = (33880 × 25 × 1) /100 = Rs. 8470
Rate of Compound interest = 10%
Assume Rs. x = 1000
The chart for compound interest on Rs. 1000 for 3 years at the rate of 10% per annum will be as
Rs. 1000 (Principal)
1st year 2nd year 3rd year
Rs. 100 Rs. 100 Rs. 100
Rs. 10 Rs. 10
Rs. 10
Rs. 1
Compound interest for 3rd year = Rs. 100 + Rs. 10 + Rs. 10 + Rs. 1 = Rs. 121
But the compound interest is = Rs. 8470 (given)
⇒ 121y = 8470
⇒ y = 70
∴ The amount given on Compound interest = Rs. 1000 × 70 = Rs. 70000
