At what rate of compound interest per annum will a sum of Rs. 1200 become Rs. 1348.32 in 2 years?
6%
6.5%
7%
7.5%
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let the rate be R% p.a.

Then, 1200 x 1 + R 2 = 1348.32
100

1 + R 2 = 134832 = 11236
100 120000 10000

1 + R 2 = 106 2
100 100

1 + R = 106
100 100

R = 6%

This method will take time because we need to think the square root that number. There is one formula for rate and i.e. 2 * ci - si * 100/si. But in this question how we'll able to find si?

How we got 106/100?

Sravan said:   8 years ago
The solution is 7, let me tell how check it out,
This is my own formulae.
A+B+AB/100 believe me it works,
take 7+7+7*7/100=14.49,

Total amount in % * 14.49= 12*14.49 =173.88 he asket for 2 years so 173.88*2 = 347.76 so got it so 7% is correct answer.
