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.
 R = |
 |
100 x 60 |  |
= 10% p.a. |
| 100 x 6 |
Now, P = Rs. 12000. T = 3 years and R = 10% p.a.
| C.I. |

After taking common factor p from bracket then automatically -1 come i.e. -1 * p = -p.
If you are confused about -1 then don't take common answer come same but it becomes some complicated.

@Josephlecocq.
What is -1 as p?

Suppose principle is 100.
Then simple interest becomes 60.
Then rate will become 10% by using the formula,
(ptr)/100 = simple interest.
Now the compound interest in 3 years with the rate 10% is,
10+10+1(interest on interest)+11+1.1 = 33.1.
12000 --- 100
?----------- 33.1
The answer is 3972.

'I' means increase, since I=F-P. Taking 60 as SI while letting P=100 in i=I/Pn assumes that the future amount will be 60 greater than 100.
We can let P as any number, say P=210, but we need to change I=150 to signal 60 in increase of future amount. We only put P=100 to give justice to the percent sign after 60.
And compound interest is what was asked and not CI rate? Hope this helped.

Hi can anyone explain me why CI = Amount-P if its P we can substitute the actual principal.

Sir question says there is an increase of 60% in amount. How can you take 60 as SI?

Brother the answer should be 3852 and a simpler method could be 10 percent of 12000 = 1200 + 10% of 12000 + 10% of 1200 = 1200 + 120 and so on the last will be 1200 + 120 + 12 so grand total 3852.

How the formula C.I = Amount-P comes?
