Find the difference between the simple interest and compound interest on 12250

On Rs. 6250, the difference between the simple interest and the compound interest at the rate of 8% per annum compounded annually for two years will be:

  1. Rs. 40
  2. Rs. 36
  3. Rs. 42
  4. Rs. 32

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 1 : Rs. 40

Short Trick:

Formula: Difference between the compound interest and the simple interest at the rate of R% for 2 years = PR2/1002

P = Principle

∴ Desired difference = 6250 × 82/1002 = Rs. 40

Detailed Solution:

According to the given information,

Principal, P = Rs. 6250

Rate of interest, R = 8%

Time period, T = 2 years

We know that,

Simple interest, SI = (P × T × R)/100

⇒ SI = (6250 × 2 × 8)/100 = Rs. 1000

We know the formula for compound interest (CI),

\({\rm{CI}} = {\rm{\;P}}\left[ {{\rm{}}{{\left( {1 + \frac{R}{{100}}} \right)}^T} - 1} \right]\)

\(\Rightarrow {\rm{CI}} = 6250 × [{\left( {1 + \frac{8}{{100}}} \right)^2} - 1] = 6250 × \left[ {{{\left( {\frac{{27}}{{25}}} \right)}^2} - 1} \right] = Rs.\;1040\)

Now,

CI - SI = 1040 - 1000 = Rs. 40

∴ The difference between simple interest and the compound interest = Rs. 40

Question 36 Compound Interest Exercise 14.2

The difference between the compound interest and simple interest on a certain sum for 2 years at 7.5% per annum is Rs. 360. Find the sum.

Answer:

Given,

Time = 2 years

Rate = 7.5 % per annum

Let principal = Rs P

Compound Interest (CI) – Simple Interest (SI) = Rs 360

C.I – S.I = Rs 360

By using the formula,

P [(1 + R/100)^n - 1] – (PTR)/100 = 360

P [(1 + 7.5/100)^2 - 1] – (P(2)(7.5))/100 = 360

P[249/1600] – (3P)/20 = 360

249/1600P – 3/20P = 360

(249P-240P)/1600 = 360

9P = 360 × 1600

P = 576000/9

= 64000

∴ The sum is Rs 64000

hello everybody welcome to leader learning my name is rajna chaudhary and we have to write this statement in the equation form it is written that write equation for the statements for these statements so statement is one fourth of a number x minus g minus four gives four so one fourth of a number x would be one fourth of x that mean the value of this part is 1 by 4 of x then we have to minus 4 from it so let's minus 4 from it so minus 4 and gives gives means is equal to 4 so this is the equation for the statement we can write it like that at the place of off we can write multiply then minus 4 is equal to 4. we can also write it like x upon 4 minus 4 is equal to 4. so this is the form of equation for the statement i hope you understand the method see you in my next video don't forget to like comment and subscribe leader learning channel thank you for watching
