  1. On a certain sum of money, the simple interest for 2 years is Rs. 350 at the rate of 4% per annum. It was invested at compound interest at the same rate for the same duration as before, how much more interest would be earned?
    1. Rs. 3.50
    2. Rs. 7
    3. Rs. 14
    4. Rs. 35
Correct Option: B

Given that , S.I. = Rs. 350 , Time = 2 years , Rate = 4%
As we know that ,

Principal =
S.I. × 100
Time × Rate

Principal =
350 × 100
= Rs. 4375
2 × 4

C.I. = P 1 +

C.I. =

Required difference = C.I. - S.I.
∴ Required difference = Rs. (357 – 350) = Rs. 7
