    The compound interest earned on a sum in 2 years at 20% per annum is Rs. 5060. What is the sum?

    A)  Rs.12100         

    B)  Rs.10720      

    C)                Rs.11500         

    D)    Rs.13215      

    E)  Rs.9210

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Let the principal be Rs. x. Then, \[Cl=P{{\left( 1+\frac{r}{100} \right)}^{n}}-P\] \[=x\left\{ {{\left( 1+\frac{20}{100} \right)}^{2}}-1 \right\}=x\left\{ {{\left( \frac{6}{5} \right)}^{2}}-1 \right\}\] \[=x\left\{ \frac{36}{25}-1 \right\}=x\left\{ \frac{36-25}{25} \right\}\] \[=x\left\{ \frac{11}{25} \right\}\] Now, according to the question, \[5060=\frac{11x}{25}\] or, \[x=\frac{5060\times 25}{11}=460\times 25=Rs.\,11500\] Method II. 20% per annum compounded annually Step I. \[20+20+\frac{20\times 20}{100}=44%\] Now, 44% of x = 5060 \[\therefore \]\[x=\frac{5060\times 100}{44}=Rs.\,11500\]
