Q:

The difference between the simple interest on a certain sum at the rate of 10%per annum for 2 years and compound interest which is compounded every 6 months is Rs.124.05. what is the principal sum

A) Rs.6000	B) Rs.8000
C) Rs.12000	D) none of these

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs.8000

Explanation:

Compound Interest on P at 10% for 2 years when interest is compounded half-yearly

= $P {(1 + \frac{\frac{R}{2}}{100})}^{2 T} - P = P {(1 + \frac{1}{20})}^{4} - P = P {(\frac{21}{20})}^{4} - P$

Simple Interest on P at 10% for 2 years = $\frac{P R T}{100} = \frac{P \times 10 \times 2}{100} = \frac{P}{5}$

Given that difference between compound interest and simple interest = 124.05

$P * {(\frac{21}{20})}^{4} - P - \frac{P}{5} = 124.05$

=> $P [{(\frac{21}{20})}^{4} - 1 - \frac{1}{5}] = 124.05$

P=8000
