The difference between the compound interest and simple interest on ₹18,000 for 2 years is ₹405. What is the rate of interest per annum?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Compound interest − Simple interest = P × (R/100)²

405 = 18000 × (R/100)²

(R/100)² = 405 ÷ 18000

= 9 ÷ 400

R/100 = 3/20

R = 15%
