The rate of interest at which amount of Rs.1800 on compound interest becomes Rs.1984.50 in 2 years is
Correct Answer: Description for Correct answer:
A = P \( \Large \left(1 + \frac{r}{100}\right)^{2} \)
Therefor, 1984.50 = \( \Large 1800 \left(1 + \frac{r}{100}\right)^{2} \)
\( \Large \frac{3969}{2 \times 1800} = \left(1 + \frac{r}{100}\right)^{2} \)
\( \Large \frac{441}{2 \times 200} = \left(1 + \frac{r}{100}\right)^{2} \)
\( \Large 1 + \frac{r}{100} = \frac{21}{20} \)
\( \Large \frac{r}{100} = \frac{21}{20} - 1 \)
\( \Large r = \frac{1}{20} \times 100 \) = 5%
