Question #1 Report Error
The difference between simple interest and compound interest on a certain sum of money for 3 years at 10% per annum is Rs. 31. Find the sum.
A. Rs. 1200
B. Rs. 800
C. Rs. 1000
D. Rs. 1500

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Difference for 3 years = P * (R/100)^2 * (3 + R/100) => 31 = P * (10/100)^2 * (3 + 10/100) => 31 = P * (1/100) * (3.1) => 31 = P * 0.031 => P = 31 / 0.031 = Rs. 1000.

Question #3 Report Error
At what rate percent per annum will Rs. 2304 amount to Rs. 2500 in 2 years at compound interest?
A. 4.5%
B. 4.34%
C. 4.16%
D. 4%

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Amount/Principal = 2500 / 2304 = (50 / 48)^2 = (25 / 24)^2. Thus, 1 + R/100 = 25/24 => R/100 = 1/24 => R = 100/24 = 4.16%. Correct option is B.
