Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The rate of interest = 5%
The certain sum = ₹ 2000
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
Pooja borrowed a certain sum for two years at simple interest from Mona
and lent this same amount at same rate of interest to Sonia
the compound interest received by Pooja end of 2 years = ₹ 205
the simple interest paid to Sonia = ₹ 200
here we need to find certain sum
Let P be the sum, R be the rate of interest and time period is 2 years.
simple interest on P, I = which is equals to ₹ 200
PR = 200(100)/ 2
P = 10000 / R _(1)
compound interest on P, C.I = which is equals to 205
⇒
⇒
⇒
⇒
⇒
⇒ R² + 200 R = 205 R
⇒ R (R+200) = 205 R
⇒ R + 200 = 205
⇒ R = 5
⇒ the rate of interest R = 5%
⇒ the sum P = 10000/R = 10000/ 5 = ₹ 2000
