2.
The difference between simple and compound interests compounded annually on a certain sum of money for 2 years at 4% per annum is Re. 1. The sum (in Rs.) is:
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Let the sum be Rs. x. Then,
| C.I. = |  |
x |  |
1 + | 4 |  |
2 | - x |  |
= | |
676 | x | - x | |
= | 51 | x. |
| 100 | 625 | 625 |
| S.I. = | |
x x 4 x 2 | |
= | 2x | . |
| 100 | 25 |
 |
51x | - | 2x | = 1 |
| 625 | 25 |
x = 625.

Apply formula :
CI-SI= p(r/100)^2 this formula works only for t=2 years;
CI-SI = p[(r/100)^3+3(r/100)^2] for t=3 years;
CI-SI= p(r/100)^2 this formula works only for t=2 years;
CI-SI = p[(r/100)^3+3(r/100)^2] for t=3 years;

FORMULA:
Principal x (r%/100)^2 = Difference between interests.
Principal x (r%/100)^2 = Difference between interests.

The question is to find the sum of CI & SI. The answer we got is the principle, not the sum. Please correct if I am Wrong.

Sum = (10,000 * difference) / r*r.
THIS FORMULA IS FOR TWO YEARS ONLY.

@Tamana.
Hey its simple sum just Few steps,
Step 1:
Compound interest = p(1+R/100)^n - p.
[Here p is subtracted from total amount at end of annum to find out compound interest].
Step 2:
Simple interest= pRn/100.
So,
Compound interest - simple interest = 1 Rs.
p(1+R/100)^n - p - pRn/100 = 1.
p(1+4/100)^2 - p - p*4*2/100 = 1.
p(1.04)^2 - p - p*.08 = 1.
p(1/625) = 1.
So p= 625 Answer.

p(1/625) = 1.
So p= 625 Answer.

Let's 100.
Simple interest = 100*2*4/100 = 8.
Total amount = 108.
Now find CI = 100*4/100 = 4.
104*4/100 = 4.16.
total = 108.16.
SI - CI = 108-108.16 = .16
1*100/.16 = 625.
Simple interest = 100*2*4/100 = 8.
Total amount = 108.
Now find CI = 100*4/100 = 4.
104*4/100 = 4.16.
total = 108.16.
SI - CI = 108-108.16 = .16
1*100/.16 = 625.

(C.I)2 - (S.I)2 = 1.
SUCCESSIVE DISCOUNT(C.I) = 4+4(4*4/100) = 8.16.
(S.I) 4+4 = 8.
8.16-8 = 0.16 .
0.16/1*100 = 625.
SUCCESSIVE DISCOUNT(C.I) = 4+4(4*4/100) = 8.16.
(S.I) 4+4 = 8.
8.16-8 = 0.16 .
0.16/1*100 = 625.

Short trick if you have given difference between simple and compound interest,
SI-CI = P*square of (R/100).
SI-CI = P*square of (R/100).
