Question 16
The difference between compound interest and simple interest on Rs 80,000 at the same rate of interest per annum for 2 years is Rs 98. What is the rate of interest per annum?
$Diff = P * (R/100)^2 => 98 = 80000 * (R/100)^2 => (R/100)^2 = 98 / 80000 = 49 / 40000 => R/100 = 7 / 200 => R = 3.5%.
Correct Answer: Option B.$
