    Find the rate of interest per annum on a sum of money

    invested? Statement I: The difference between the compound interest and simple interest at the end of 3 years at same rate of interest is Rs 120. Statement II: A compound interest of Rs 7368 is obtained after 4 years of investment.
    A If the data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    E If the data in both the statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    From I : Pr2/1002= 120 From II : 7368 = P [(1 + r/100)3– 1] From I and II we have 2 equations in 2 variables which can be solved to find the rate of interest.
