Question : Find the difference between compound interest and simple interest when a sum of Rs. 15,625 is invested for 3 years at 4% per annum.
Option 1: Rs. 76
Option 2: Rs. 96
Option 3: Rs. 56
Option 4: Rs. 86
Correct Answer: Rs. 76
Solution : Difference between simple interest and compound interest for 3 years$= P(3 + \frac{R}{100})(\frac{R}{100})^2$ where, $P$ = principal amount, $R$ = rate of interest. Given that $P$ = Rs. 15,625, $R$ = 4% per annum, and $T$ = 3 years ⇒ Difference = 15625 × (3 + $\frac{4}{100})(\frac{4}{100})^2$ = 15625 × ($\frac{76}{25})(\frac{1}{625})$ = Rs. 76 Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 76.
