    A sum of money invested at compound interest amounts to Rs. 800 in 3 years and to Rs. 840 in 4 years, The rate of Interest per annum is :       

    A)  \[2\frac{1}{2}%\]                

    B) \[4\,%\]                 

    C)  \[5\,%\]                

    D)       \[6\frac{2}{3}\,%\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     \[A=P{{\left( 1+\frac{R}{100} \right)}^{T}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[800=P{{\left( 1+\frac{R}{100} \right)}^{3}}\]      ?...(i) and, \[840=P{{\left( 1+\frac{R}{100} \right)}^{4}}\]           ??.(ii) On dividing equation (ii) by (i), \[\frac{840}{800}=1+\frac{R}{100}\] \[\Rightarrow \]            \[\frac{21}{20}=1+\frac{R}{100}\] \[\Rightarrow \]            \[\frac{R}{100}=\frac{21}{20}-1=\frac{1}{20}\] \[\Rightarrow \]            \[R=\frac{1}{20}\times 100\] = 5% per annum
