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.

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

Rahul said:   10 years ago
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.
