Description for Correct answer:

Let principal amount be Rs.100. Then, S.I. = \( \Large \frac{100 \times 20 \times 3}{100} \) = Rs.60and C.I. = 100 \( \Large ( 1 + \frac{20}{100} ) ^ {3} - 100 \)= \( \Large 100 \times (\frac{6}{5})^{3} - 100 = \frac{364}{5} \)\( \Large \therefore \) C.I. - S.I. = \( \Large \frac{364}{5} - 60 = \frac{64}{5} \)If difference is Rs.\( \Large \frac{64}{5} \), Principal = Rs.100If difference is Rs.48

Principal = \( \Large \frac{100 \times 5}{64} \times 48 \) = Rs.375

Given:

CI – SI = 100

T = 2 years

R = 5 %

Formula:

SI = PRT/100

CI = P(1 + R/100)n - P

Here SI = Simple interest, P = Principal, R = Rate, T = Time, CI = Compound interest

Calculations:

Let the Sum be Rs. x.

Compound interest = x[1 + 5/100]2 – x

⇒ (441/400)x – x

⇒ (41/400)x

Simple Interest = (x × 5 × 2)/100 = 10x/100

⇒ 41x/400 – 10x/100 = 100

⇒ x/400 = 100

⇒ x = 40,000

The Sum is Rs. 40,000.

Let the Sum be Rs. x.

By using Formula;

Difference = Principal(Rate/100)Time

⇒ 100 = x(5/100)2

⇒ x = 40,000

 The Sum is Rs. 40,000.
