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?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Let P = Rs. 100. Then, S.I. Rs. 60 and T = 6 years.
![]() |
![]() |
100 x 60 | ![]() |
= 10% p.a. |
100 x 6 |
Now, P = Rs. 12000. T = 3 years and R = 10% p.a.

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