Answer»

Answer :

3️⃣ ₹60.50

Explanation :

Compound interest for the FIRST 2 years.

Where,

  • rate = 10%
  • principal = ₹500
  • time = 2 years.

We know that,

Substituting given values :

→ 500(1 + 10/100)²

→ 500(1 + 1/10)²

→ 500(11/10)²

→ 500(1.1)²

→ 500(1.21)

→ 605

Amount calculated for the first two years is 105.

Now,

Calculating C. I. for the next 3 years at the same rate and principal.

→ 500(1 + 10/100)³

→ 500(11/10)³

→ 500(1.331)

→ 665.5

Amount calculated for 3 years is 665.5

Hence, the difference between the two amounts is :

→ 665.5 - 605

→ 60.5

Required answer : ₹60.5
