The difference between simple interest and compound interest on a certain sum of money for 3 years at 10% per annum is Rs. 930. Find the sum.
A. Rs. 30000
B. Rs. 28000
C. Rs. 32000
D. Rs. 34000
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Difference for 3 years = P * (R/100)^2 * (3 + R/100) => 930 = P * (10/100)^2 * (3 + 10/100) => 930 = P * (1/100) * (3.1) => 930 = P * 0.031 => P = 930 / 0.031 = Rs. 30000.
