  1. B borrows ₹ 5,000 from A at 6% p.a. simple interest and lends it to C at compound interest of 10% p.a. If B collects the money back from C after 2 years and repays A, the profit made by B in the transaction is
    1. ₹ 1,050
    2. ₹ 500
    3. ₹ 450
    4. ₹ 600
Correct Option: C

Given that , Principal = ₹ 5,000 , Time = 2 years , Rate = 6% p.a

Interest got by A =
Principal × Time × Rate
100

Interest got by A =
5000 × 2 × 6
= Rs. 600
100

Now , Time = 2 years , Rate = 10% p.a
C.I. received by B = P 1 +
R
T − 1

C.I. received by B = 5000 1 +

C.I. received by B = 5000

C.I. received by B = 5000

100

C.I. received by B =
5000 × 21
= Rs. 1050
100

B’s profit = C.I. received by B - Interest got by A
∴  B’s profit = Rs. (1050 – 600) = Rs. 450
