Find the sum lend at C.I. at 5 p.c per annum will amount to Rs.441 in 2 years?
Correct answer: B. Rs.400
- A. Rs.420
- B. Rs.400
- C. Rs.375
- D. Rs.380
Explanation
At 5% compound interest for 2 years, the amount is P x 1.05² = 1.1025P. Hence 1.1025P = Rs.441, so P = Rs.441/1.1025 = Rs.400. Students may choose Rs.420 by subtracting simple interest from the final amount instead of reversing compound growth.
