SSC CGL Tier II Quant - 01/12/2016 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q49

A man invested a sum of money at compound interest. It amounted to Rs. 2420 in 2 years and to Rs. 2662 in 3 years. Find the sum.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. RS. 2000

Application

R% = (2662 - 2420)/2420 × 100 

(242/2420) × 100 = 10%

2 years CI% = 10 + 10 + (10 × 10)/100

= 21 %

So, 121% = 2420

1% = 2420/121

100% = (2420/121) × 100 = 2000
