Q:

If the compound interest on a certain sum at $16 \frac{2}{3}$ % to 3 years is Rs.1270, find the simple interest on the same sum at the same rate and f or the same period.

A) 1080	B) 1090
C) 1180	D) 1109

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 1080

Explanation:

Let the sum be Rs. x. Then,

$C . I = [x * {(\frac{50}{300 * 100})}^{3} - x] = (\frac{343 x}{216} - x) = \frac{127 x}{216}$

$\Leftrightarrow \frac{127 x}{216} = 1270$

$x = 2160$

Thus, the sum is Rs. 2160

$S . I = R s . [2160 * \frac{50}{3} * 3 * \frac{1}{100}] = R s 1080$
