    What is the rate of interest % per annum?
    I. The difference between the compound interest and the simple interest on an amount of Rs. 10000 in two years is Rs. 110.25.
    II. An amount doubles itself at simple rate of interest in 9.5 years.
    III. The compound interest accrued in 8 years is more than the principal.

    A) Only I              

    B) Only either I or II                       

    C) Only II 

    D)        Only III

    E) All together are necessary

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    From I. \[{{R}^{2}}=\frac{D\times {{100}^{2}}}{P}=\frac{110.25\times 10000}{10000}\] \[\therefore \]\[{{R}^{2}}=\sqrt{110.25}=10.5%\] From II.\[R=\frac{100}{9.5}=10.5%\] Hence either statement I or II is sufficient to answer the question.
