Question 11
If the difference between the compound interest, compounding annually and the simple interest on a certain sum of money at 5% per annum for 3 years is Rs 183, then what is the sum of money invested?
Rate R = 5% = 1/20. Let P = 20^3 = 8000 units. Diff for 3 years = 3(20) + 1 = 61 units. 61 units = Rs 183 => 1 unit = Rs 3. Principal P = 8000 * 3 = Rs 24,000.
Correct Answer: Option B.
