Question : At what percentage rate, compound interest compounded annually for a sum of Rs. 40,000, will amount to Rs. 44,100 in two years?
Option 1: 5%
Option 2: 2%
Option 3: 4%
Option 4: 7.5%
Correct Answer: 5%
Solution : When compounded annually, $ A= P(1+\frac{R}{100})^{T}$, Where $A$ is the total amount, $P$ is the principal amount, $R$ is the rate of interest per annum, and $T$ is the time in years. According to the question, $⇒44100=40000(1+\frac{R}{100})^{2}$ $⇒(1+\frac{R}{100})^{2}=\frac{44100}{40000}$ $⇒(1+\frac{R}{100})^{2}=\frac{441}{400}$ $⇒\frac{R}{100}=\frac{21}{20}-1$ $⇒\frac{R}{100}=\frac{1}{20}$ $\therefore R=5\%$ Hence, the correct answer is 5%.
