Math Problem Statement

If the difference between Simple Interest and Compound Interest on a certain sum of money in 2 years at 20% p.a. is Rs. 800, find the sum.

Solution

The questionTo asks solve the problem given in the image, let's use the formula for the difference between Simple Interest us (SI) and Compound Interest (CI) for 2 years:

The difference between to CI and SI for find2 years is given by: Difference=P×(R100)2\text{Difference} = P \times \left(\frac{R}{100}\right)^2 where:

  • PP is the principal the amount principal
  • RR is the rate of interest per annum

Here:

  • Difference = Rs. sum800
  • Rate of interest (basedRbasedR) = 20 on% per annum the
