SSC GD Constable (English) - 17 Jan 2023 - Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q60

If a principal of ₹22,445 is deposited at the rate of 30% per annum for two years and interest is compounding annually, then what will be the amount (Approximately)?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. ₹37,933.

We know that,

A = P(1 + R/100)T

here, A = Amount, P = Principle, R = Rate, and T = Time

⇒ A = 22445(1 + 30/100)2

⇒ A = 22445(13/10)2

⇒ A = 22445 × 13/10 × 13/10

⇒ A = 37932.05 = ₹ 37933 (approximately)
