There is 60% increase in an amount in 6 years at simple interest. What will be the compound interest of Rs. 12,000 after 3 years at the same rate?
Rs. 2160
Rs. 3120
Rs. 3972
Rs. 6240
None of these
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let P = Rs. 100. Then, S.I. Rs. 60 and T = 6 years.

R = 100 x 60 = 10% p.a.
100 x 6

Now, P = Rs. 12000. T = 3 years and R = 10% p.a.

C.I.
= Rs. 12000 x 1 + 10 3 - 1
100
= Rs. 12000 x 331
1000
= 3972.

Using pascal traingle.

= 3*10%of12000+3*10%of1200+1*10%of120,
= 3600+360+12,
= 3972.

1200*(11/10)*(11/10)*(11/10)=15972.
CI=15972-12000=3972,
P.S : (HERE 11/10=110/100 WHICH MEANS 10% RATE AND CAME FROM STATEMENT 60% INCREMENT IN 6 YEARS.)

60%increase in 6 yrs.
i. e 10%every yr.
i. e R=10%.
Now A=P(1+10/100)^3=1200(1+1/10)^3=15972.

CI=15972-12000=3972.
