What is the difference between the compound interest and simple interest on Rupees 8000?

C.I.
A=p[1+r/100]2
  = 8000[1+15/100]2
  = 8000[100+15/100]2
  = 8000[115/100]2
  = 8000* 115/100* 115/100
  = 10580
I = A - P
  = 10580 - 8000
  = 2580
S.I.
S.I. = P*R*T/100
      = 8000 * 15 * 2/100
      = 2400
 Difference = C.I. - S.I.
                    = 2580 - 2400
                    = 180

Given:

The difference between compound interest and simple interest on Rs. x at 6.5% per annum for 2 years is Rs. 33.80. 

Formula used:

Difference between CI and SI for 2 years = Principal amount × (R/100)2

Let Principal amount be Rs X.

33.80 = X × (6.5/100)2

⇒ X = 8000 

∴ Value of X is Rs 8000

Bihar Police SI Prelims 2020: Full Mock Test

100 Questions 200 Marks 120 Mins

Given :

Principal = Rs. 8000 

Rate = 5% 

Time = 3 years 

Concept used :

At compound interest, interest = P[1 + (R/100)]t - P   (where p is the principle, R is the rate of interest and t is the time period)

At simple interest , interest = (P × R × T)/100

Calculations :

Principle = 8000 

Interest at compound interest = 8000[1 + (5/100)]3 - 8000  (time is 3 years, are of interest is 5%)

⇒ 9261 - 8000 

⇒ 1261 

Now, 

Simple interest = (8000 × 5 × 3/)100

⇒ 1200 

Difference of compound interest and simple interest = 1261 - 1200 

⇒ 61 rupees 

∴ Option 4 is the correct answer.

Alternate Method

Concept used:

Difference of C.I. and S.I. for 3 years = P(R/100)2((300 + R)/100)

Calculations:

Required difference = P(R/100)2((300 + R)/100)

⇒ 8000 × (5/100)2((300 + 5)/100)

⇒ 8000 × (1/400) × (305/100)

⇒ 8000 × 1/400 × 61/20 

⇒ 61

∴ The required difference is Rs. 61.
