A sum of RS. 400 amounts to RS. 441 in 2 yr. What will be its amount, if the rate of interest is increased by 5%?
A) RS.484
B) RS.560
C) RS.512
D) RS.560
Correct answer:
A) RS.484
Description for Correct answer:
According to the given conditign
441=\( \Large 400 \left(1+ \frac{R}{100}\right)^{2} \)
=> \( \Large \frac{441}{400} \)= \( \Large \left(1+ \frac{R}{100}\right)^{2} \)
=> \( \Large \left(\frac{21}{20}\right)^{2} \)=\( \Large \left(1+ \frac{R}{100}\right)^{2} \)
=> \( \Large \frac{21}{20} \)=\( \Large 1+ \frac{R}{100} \)
=> \( \Large \frac{21}{20}-1=\frac{R}{100} \) => \( \Large \frac{R}{100}=\frac{1}{20} \)
R=5%
New rate = 5+5=10%
Amount=\( \Large 400 \left(1+ \frac{10}{100}\right)^{2} \)
=\( \Large 400\times 11/10\times 11/10 \)=RS.484
