the difference between the ci and si on a certain sum of money at 20/3℅ pre annum for three years is 46 find sum
Answers
Answer:
If the difference between compound and simple interest is of two years than,
Difference = P(R)²/(100)²
Where P = principal amount, R = rate of interest
If the difference between compound and simple interest is of three years than,
Difference = 3 x P(R)²/(100)² + P (R/100)³.
Here also, P = principal amount, R = rate of interest

Solved Examples
Q. The difference between the compound and simple interest on a certain sum at 12% per annum for two years is Rs. 90. What will be the value of the amount at the end of 3 years if compounded annually?
Ans: Here, in this question, the difference is already given to us and we are required to find the principal amount. And using that principal amount we are required to find the amount compounded after three years. The difference is given for two years. So, the formula will be,
Difference = P(R)²/100²
Now, putting the values into the equation, we will find that,
90 = P(12)²/(100)²
90 x 100²/12² = P
P = Rs. 6250
Now, calculating the compound interest on Rs. 6250 will be,
A = 6250(1 + 12/100)³
A = 6250(112/100)³ => 6250(1.12)³ => Rs. 8780.80
So, the compounded amount after three years will be Rs. 8780.80
