A certain sum amounts to Rs. 1,600 in two years and to Rs. 2,000 in three years at compound interest when compounded annually. Find the rate of interest.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 25%.

Amount after 2 years = 1600

Amount after 3 years = 2000

Interest in 3rd year = 2000 - 1600 = 400

Rate of interest = (400/1600) × 100 = 25%
