SSC CPO - 13 Dec 2025 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q51

What interest rate is required for ₹4000 to amounts to ₹4840 in 2 years with compound interest?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

P=₹4000

A = ₹4840

T = 2 years

A = P(1 + R/100)²

4840 = 4000 (1 + R/100)²

(1 + R/100)² = 4840/4000= 1.21

1 + R/100 = 1.1

R/100 = 0.1

R = 10%
