Find the sum on which the difference between the simple interest and the compound interest at the rate of 8% per annum compounded annually be Rs. 64 in 2 years
• Difference between simple interest and compound interest = Rs. 64
• Rate = R = 8%
• Time = T = 2 years
• Principal???
Let the sum ( principal ) be Rs. x
C.I. = x(( 1 + 8/100)^2 -1)
=> C.I. = x (( 1+ 2/25)^2 - 1 )
=> C.I. = x ((27/25)^2 - 1 )
=> C.I. = x ( 729/625 - 1 )
=> C.I. = x (729-625)/625
=>. C.I. = Rs. 104x/625
according to the question......
C.I. - S.I. = Rs. 64
104x/625 - 16x/100 = Rs. 64
=> 104x/625 - 4x/25 = Rs. 64
=> (104x - (4x × 25))/625 = Rs. 64
=> (104x - 100x)/625 = Rs. 64
=> 4x/625 = Rs. 64
=> x = Rs. (64×625)/4
=> x = Rs. 16× 625
=> x = Rs. 10,000
therefore,
principal = Rs. 10,000
