Q:

The difference between the compound interest and the simple interest accrued on an amount of Rs. 18,000 in 2 years was Rs. 405. What was the rate of interest p.c.p.a. ?

A) 12%	B) 13%
C) 14%	D) 15%

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 15%

Explanation:

Let the rate be R% p.a. Then,

$[1800 {(1 + \frac{R}{100})}^{2} - 1800] - (\frac{1800 * R * 2}{100}) = 405$

$1800 [\frac{{(100 + R)}^{2}}{10000} - 1 - \frac{2 R}{100}] = 405$

$1800 [\frac{{(100 + R)}^{2} - 10000 - 200 R}{10000}] = 405$

$\Leftrightarrow$

$\frac{9}{5} * R^{2} = 405 \Leftrightarrow R^{2} = (\frac{405 * 5}{9}) = 225 \Leftrightarrow R = 15$
Rate = 15%.
