The difference between compound interest and simple interest on an amount of Rs. 15,000 for 2 years is Rs. 96. What is the rate of interest per annum?

[A]. 8[B]. 10
[C]. 12[D]. Cannot be determined
[E]. None of these

Answer: Option E

Explanation:

15000 x 1 + R 2 - 15000 - 15000 x R x 2 = 96
100 100

15000 1 + R 2 - 1 - 2R = 96
100 100

15000 (100 + R)2 - 10000 - (200 x R) = 96
10000

R2 = 96 x 2 = 64
3

R = 8.

Rate = 8%.

In that why -15000 is done in compound interest. As per formula its not there na?

@Anonymous

for C.I. formula is=>

p(1-r/100)^n-p

without subtracting, which amount we get is

"Principle amount+Interest"

so to get C.I. we have to subtract it..

SIMPLE FORMULA FOR TWO YEARS
C.I.-S.I.=P(R/100)*(R/100)
96=15000(R/100)(R/100)
R*R=960/15=64
R=8
