The difference between the compound interest and the simple interest for 2 years at 8% per annum on a certain sum of money is 120. Find the sum​

Answer»

GIVEN :-

  • CI - SI = RS. 120.
  • Rate ( R ) = 8 %.
  • Time ( n ) = 2 years.

TO FIND :-

  • The Sum.

SOLUTION :-

LET the Principal be "x".

\\ :  \implies \displaystyle \sf \:  SI = \dfrac{P \times R \times T}{1 00 } \\  \\  \\

:  \implies \displaystyle \sf \:  SI = \frac{x \times 8 \times 2}{100}  \\  \\  \\

:  \implies \underline{\boxed{\displaystyle \sf SI = \frac{16x}{100} }} \\  \\

Now,

\\  \\ :  \implies  \displaystyle \sf \: CI =  P \Bigg[ \bigg(1 + \dfrac{R}{100}\bigg)^{n} -1\Bigg] \\  \\  \\

:  \implies  \displaystyle \sf \: CI =  x \Bigg[ \bigg(1 + \dfrac{8}{100}\bigg)^{2} -1\Bigg] \\  \\  \\

:  \implies  \displaystyle \sf \: CI =  x \Bigg[ \bigg( \dfrac{100 + 8}{100}\bigg)^{2} -1\Bigg] \\  \\  \\

:  \implies  \displaystyle \sf \: CI =  x \Bigg[ \bigg( \dfrac{108}{100}\bigg)^{2} -1\Bigg] \\  \\  \\

:  \implies  \displaystyle \sf \: CI =  x \Bigg[\dfrac{108 \times 108}{100 \times 100} -1\Bigg] \\  \\  \\

:  \implies  \displaystyle \sf \: CI =  x \Bigg[\dfrac{11664}{10000} -1\Bigg] \\  \\  \\

:  \implies  \displaystyle \sf \: CI =  x \Bigg[\dfrac{11664 - 10000}{10000}\Bigg] \\  \\  \\

:  \implies  \displaystyle \sf \: CI =  x \Bigg[\dfrac{1664 }{10000}\Bigg] \\  \\  \\

:  \implies  \displaystyle \sf \: CI =  x \times  \frac{1664}{10000}  \\  \\  \\

:  \implies  \underline{ \boxed{ \displaystyle \sf \: CI =   \frac{1664x}{10000} }} \\  \\

Now According to the question,

\\  \\ :  \implies  \displaystyle \sf \: CI  -  SI = 120 \\  \\  \\

:  \implies  \displaystyle \sf \: \frac{1664x}{10000}  -  \frac{16x}{100}  = 120 \\  \\  \\

:  \implies  \displaystyle \sf \: \frac{1664x}{10000}  -  \frac{1600x}{10000}  = 120 \\  \\  \\

:  \implies  \displaystyle \sf \: \frac{1664x - 1600x}{10000}  = 120 \\  \\  \\

:  \implies  \displaystyle \sf \: \frac{64x}{10000}  = 120 \\  \\  \\

:  \implies  \displaystyle \sf \:64x = 120 \times 10000  \\  \\  \\

:  \implies  \displaystyle \sf \:64x = 1200000 \\  \\  \\

:  \implies  \displaystyle \sf \:x =  \frac{1200000}{64}  \\  \\  \\

:  \implies  \underline{ \boxed{ \displaystyle \sf \:x =  18750}} \\  \\

Hence the REQUIRED sum is Rs. 18750.
