Answer: Option C

Solution(By Examveda Team)

$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Rate of interest = 5}}\% {\text{ per annum}} \cr & {\text{Time = 2 year}} \cr & {\text{Accroding to question,}} \cr & \Rightarrow P\left[ {{{\left( {1 + \frac{r}{{100}}} \right)}^n} - 1} \right] - \frac{{P \times r \times t}}{{100}}{\text{ = 63}} \cr & \Rightarrow P\left[ {{{\left( {1 + \frac{5}{{100}}} \right)}^2} - 1} \right] - \frac{{P \times 5 \times 2}}{{100}}{\text{ = 63}} \cr & \Rightarrow P\left[ {{{\left( {1 + \frac{5}{{100}}} \right)}^2} - 1} \right] - \frac{{10P}}{{100}}{\text{ = 63}} \cr & \Rightarrow P\left[ {{{\left( {\frac{{105}}{{100}}} \right)}^2} - 1} \right] - \frac{{10P}}{{100}}{\text{ = 63}} \cr & \Rightarrow P\left( {\frac{{11025 - 10000}}{{10000}}} \right) - \frac{{10P}}{{100}} = 63 \cr & \Rightarrow \frac{{1025P}}{{10000}} - \frac{{10P}}{{100}} = 63 \cr & \Rightarrow \frac{{1025P - 1000P}}{{10000}} = 63 \cr & \Rightarrow 25P = Rs.630000 \cr & \Rightarrow P = \frac{{630000}}{{25}} \cr & \Rightarrow P = Rs. 25200 \cr & {\text{Hence}},\,{\text{sum Rs}}{\text{. 25200}} \cr} $$


On what sum of money will the difference between the compound interest and simple interest for 2 years be equal to Rs. 25 if the rate of interest charged for both is 5% p.a.?

Solution

C.I = `P[(1 + r/100)^2 - 1] = P[(1 + 5/100)^2 - 1] = "41P"/400`

`S.I = (P xx 5 xx 2)/100 = P/100`

Given, C.I. - S.I. Rs. 25

`=> "41P"/400 - P/10 = 25`

`=> (41P - 40P)/400 = 25`

`=> P = 10000`

∴ Required sum  = Rs. 10,000

Given: 

Time is 2 years

Rate is 5% per annum

The difference between simple interest and compound interest is Rs. 63.

Concept: 

S.I = (P × R × T)/100

C.I = P[(1 + r/100)n - 1]

Here, n is the number of terms in the year

Calculation: 

Let sum be Rs. P 

Now, 

The simple interest for 2 years at 5% per annum is

(P × 5 × 2)/100

⇒ P/10 

Now, 

The compound interest for 2 years at 5% per annum is

P[(1 + 5/100)2 - 1]

⇒ P[(21/20)2 - 1]

⇒ P[(441/400) - 1]

⇒ 41P/400 

So, 

The difference between Compound interest and simple interest is 

⇒ 41p/400 - P/10 = 63

⇒ 41P - 40P = 63 × 400

⇒ P = Rs. 25200 

∴ The required sum of money is Rs. 25200.

On what sum of money will the difference between simple interest and compound interest for 2 years at 5% per annum?
Shortcut Trick

The difference between compound interest and simple interest for 2 years is 

⇒ P(r/100)2

According to question 

⇒ P(5/100)2 = 63

⇒ P × 1/400 = 63

⇒ P = 63 × 400 

⇒ P = 25200 

∴ The required sum of money is Rs. 25200
