    A certain sum of money amounts to Rs: 2,420 in 2 years and Rs. 2,662 in 3 years at some rate of compound interest, compounded annually. The rate of Interest per annum is

    A)  6%                              

    B)  8%

    C)  9%                  

    D)         10%  

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Let the rate of Interest = R% per annum. We know that             \[A=P{{\left( 1+\frac{R}{100} \right)}^{T}}\]             \[2420=P{{\left( 1+\frac{R}{100} \right)}^{2}}\]                        ? (i)             \[2420=P{{\left( 1+\frac{R}{100} \right)}^{2}}\]                        ? (ii) Dividing equation (ii) by (i),             \[1+\frac{R}{100}=\frac{2662}{2420}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\frac{R}{100}=\frac{2662}{2420}-1\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\frac{R}{100}=\frac{2662-2420}{2420}\]             \[=\frac{242}{2420}=\frac{1}{10}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[R=\frac{1}{10}\times 100=10%\]
