A sum of Rs 18000 is lent at 10% p.a. compound interest, compounded annually. What is the difference between the compound interest for 3rd year and 4th year?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Rs 217.80

1st yr = 10%

2nd yr = 11%    

3rd yr = 12.1%   

4th yr = 13.31%

= 1.21 × 180

= 217.80
