    Simple interest on a certain sum of money for 3 years at 8% per annum is half the con pound interest on Rs. 1600 for 2 years at 10% per annum. The sum placed on simple interest is:

    A)  Rs. 14000

    B)  Rs. 3500

    C)  Rs. 7000

    D)  Rs. 5600

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     \[C.I=P\left[ {{\left( 1+\frac{R}{100} \right)}^{T}}-1 \right]\] \[=16000\left[ {{\left( 1+\frac{10}{100} \right)}^{2}}-1 \right]\] \[=16000\left[ {{\left( \frac{11}{10} \right)}^{2}}-1 \right]\] \[=16000\left( \frac{121}{100}-1 \right)\] \[=16000\times \left( \frac{121-100}{100} \right)\] \[=16000\times \frac{21}{100}=\]Rs. 3360 \[\therefore \]      \[S.I.=\left( \frac{3360}{2} \right)\] = Rs.  1680 \[\therefore \]Principal \[=\frac{\text{S}\text{.I}\text{. }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ 100}}{\text{Time}\,\text{ }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ }\,\text{Rate}}\] \[=\frac{1680\times 100}{3\times 8}\] = Rs. 7000
