Question #1 Report Error
Find the compound interest on Rs. 15625 for 9 months at 16% per annum, compounded quarterly.
A. Rs. 2100
B. Rs. 1850
C. Rs. 1951
D. Rs. 2000

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Quarterly rate = 16 / 4 = 4%. Time = 9 months = 3 quarters. Amount = 15625 * (1 + 4/100)^3 = 15625 * (26/25)^3 = 15625 * (17576 / 15625) = Rs. 17576. Compound Interest = 17576 - 15625 = Rs. 1951.

Question #3 Report Error
If the compound interest on a certain sum for 2 years at 4% per annum is Rs. 102, find the simple interest on the same sum at the same rate for the same period.
A. Rs. 100
B. Rs. 101.50
C. Rs. 98
D. Rs. 101

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Effective rate of compound interest for 2 years at 4% = 4 + 4 + (44)/100 = 8.16%. Simple interest rate = 4 * 2 = 8%. Given 8.16% of sum = 102, then 8% of sum = (102 / 8.16) * 8 = 12.5 * 8 = Rs. 100.
