    On what sum does the difference between the compound interest and the simple interest for 3 yr at 10% is Rs. 31?

    A) Rs. 1500                       

    B) Rs. 1200

    C) Rs. 1100                       

    D) Rs. 1000

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Let the sum be Rs. x. r = 10%, n = 3 yr \[SI=\frac{x\times r\times n}{100}\] \[SI=\frac{x\times 10\times 3}{100}=\frac{3}{10}x\] \[CI=\left[ {{\left( 1+\frac{r}{100} \right)}^{n}}-1 \right]x\] \[=\left[ {{\left( 1+\frac{10}{100} \right)}^{3}}-1 \right]x=\left[ {{\left( \frac{11}{10} \right)}^{3}}-1 \right]x\] \[=\left( \frac{1331}{1000}-1 \right)=\frac{331}{1000}x\] \[\frac{331}{1000}x-\frac{3}{10}x=31\] Or         \[\frac{(331-300)}{1000}x=31\] Or         \[\frac{31}{100}x=31\,\,or,\] \[x=1000\] \[\therefore \]      Sum = Rs, 1000
