SSC MTS - 04 May 2023 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q19

Find the compound interest (CI) on Rs. 12,600 for 2 years at 10% per annum compounded annually.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Rs. 2646.

Principal (P) = Rs. 12,600

Time (T) = 2 years

Rate (R) = 10%

Compound interest = P(1 + R/100)T - P

According to the question;

⇒ CI = 12600(1 + 10/100)2 - 12600

⇒ CI = 15246 - 12600

⇒ CI = 2646
