The compound and the simple interests on a certain sum at the same rate of interest for two years are Rs.11730 and Rs.10200 respectively. Find the sum.

  • A.Rs.18000
  • B.Rs.17000
  • C.Rs.18500
  • D.Rs.17500

Answer: B

The simple interest for the first year is 10200/2 is Rs.5100 and compound interest for first year also is Rs.5100. The compound interest for second year on Rs.5100 for one year 

So rate of the interest = (100 * 1530)/ (5100 * 1) = 30% p.a. 

So P = (100 * 10200)/ (30 * 2) = Rs.17000
