    A sum of Rs. 14000 amounts to Rs. 18194.4 in two years when compounded annually. What is the rate of interest?

    A)  13.75%           

    B)  14%                

    C)  14.5% 

    D) 13.5%

    E)  None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[A=P{{\left( 1+\frac{r}{100} \right)}^{n}}\] \[18194.4=14000{{\left( 1+\frac{r}{100} \right)}^{2}}\] \[{{\left( 1+\frac{r}{100} \right)}^{2}}=\frac{18194.4}{14000}=\frac{181944}{140000}\] \[=\frac{12996}{10000}={{\left( \frac{114}{100} \right)}^{2}}\] \[1+\frac{r}{100}=\frac{114}{100}\] \[\frac{r}{100}=\frac{14}{100}\]\[\therefore r=14%\]per annum
