Team Careers360 · Accepted Answer

Correct Answer: Rs. 500

Solution : Rate, R = 10%
Compound interest = Rs. 525
Term, n = 2 years
Compound interest after 2 years = $P[(1+\frac{R}{100})^{2} –1]$
⇒ 525 = $P[(1+\frac{10}{100})^{2} –1)]$
⇒ 525 = $P[(1.21 –1]$
$ herefore$ P = $\frac{525}{0.21}$ = Rs. 2500
Simple interest after n years = $\frac{PnR}{100}$
Time = 2n = 4 years
Rate = R ÷ 2 = 5%
$ herefore$ Simple interest after 4 years = $\frac{2500×4×5}{100}$ = Rs. 500
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 500.
