  1. A person deposited a sum of ₹ 6,000 in a bank at 5% per annum simple interest. Another
    person deposited ₹ 5,000 at 8% per annum compound interest. After two years, the difference of their interests will be
    1. ₹ 230
    2. ₹ 232
    3. ₹ 832
    4. ₹ 600
Correct Option: B

Here , sum = ₹ 6,000 , Rate = 5% per annum , T = 2 years

S.I.=
6000 × 5 × 2
= ₹ 600
100

C.I. = 5000 1 +
8
2 − 1
100

C.I. = 5000
27
2 − 1
25

C.I. = 5000
729 − 625
625

C.I. = 5000 ×
104
= ₹ 832
625

∴  Required difference = C.I. - S.I.
∴  Required difference = ₹ (832–600) = ₹ 232
