  1. The simple interest on a sum of money at 4% per annum for 2 years is ₹ 80. The compound interest in the same sum for the same period is
    1. ₹ 82.60
    2. ₹ 82.20
    3. ₹ 81.80
    4. ₹ 81.60
Correct Option: D

Given that , S.I. = ₹ 80 , Time = 2 years , Rate = 4%
We know that ,

Principal =
S.I. × 100
Time × Rate

Principal =
80 × 100
= 1000
2 × 4

∴  C.I. = P 1 +
R
T − 1

C.I. = 1000 1 +

C.I. = 1000

C.I. = 1000
676
− 1
625

C.I. = 1000
676 − 625
625

C.I. =
1000 × 51
= ₹ 81.60
625

We can find required answer with the help of given formula :
Here, S.I. = ₹ 80, R = 4%, C.I. = ?
C.I. = S.I.1 +
R
