Sample question from this paper
Arithmetic – Simple & Compound Interest · medium
The difference between the compound interest and simple interest on a sum of ₹15,000 for 2 years at 8% per annum (compounded annually) is:
- A. ₹90
- B. ₹96
- C. ₹100
- D. ₹120
Show answer and solution
Answer: B
For 2 years, CI − SI = P(r/100)². Here P = 15000, r = 8, so difference = 15000 × (0.08)² = 15000 × 0.0064 = ₹96. This shortcut formula (valid only for 2 years) avoids computing CI and SI separately — remember it saves significant time on such questions.
