The compound interest on a certain sum for 2 years at 10% per annum is Rs. 525. The simple interest on the same sum for double the time at half the rate percent per annum is:
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Let the sum be Rs. P.
| Then, |  |
P |  |
1 + | 10 |  |
2 | - P |  |
= 525 |
| 100 |
 |
P | |
|
11 | |
2 | - 1 | |
= 525 |
| 10 |
| P = |
|
525 x 100 | |
= 2500. |
| 21 |
Sum = Rs . 2500.
| So, S.I. = Rs. | |
2500 x 5 x 4 | |
= Rs. 500 |
| 100 |

Hello guys.
The simplest way is;
Here the sum will be the same.
C. I for 2yrs@10%p.a is;
21% = 525.
For S.I 4yrs @5 % p.a is;
20% = 500.

In the simplest way, we can slove this by;
Suppose principle amount is 100.
For two years CI 100*10%=10 again 110*10%=21 (total interest).
Total increased 21%, we can take it as 525 is 21% then 100% will be the principle amount which 2500.

@Babai.
When you divide 10/100 it will give you 1/10 then when you will add it with one it will give you 11/10. Actually it comes in the mixed fraction.

@Sandy.
Actually this is the formula for finding amount, amount= principle +interest so when we apply the ci. The formula basically finding the amount so when we minus it with the principle it equals to the interest which is 525.

@Nisha.
Actually they take the common factor so when we take p common there it is replaced by 1.

Given that ;
p*21/100=525,
so P= 525*100/21,
p=2500.
Now S.I= PTR/100.
where time is doubled So T=4 and Rate is halved So R=5.
Now S.I= 2500*4*5/100.
S.I =500.
p*21/100=525,
so P= 525*100/21,
p=2500.
Now S.I= PTR/100.
where time is doubled So T=4 and Rate is halved So R=5.
Now S.I= 2500*4*5/100.
S.I =500.
