Given:
A invested Rs.x in Simple Interest (SI) at 30% rate of interest per annum for 6 years and obtained an interest of Rs.3600.
A invested the total amount obtained in SI in Compound Interest (CI) at 25% rate of interest per annum for 2 years.
To find:
The compound interest obtained by A.
Solution:
Let's solve the problem step by step.
1. Calculation of Simple Interest:
The simple interest formula is given by:
Simple Interest (SI) = (Principal × Rate × Time) / 100
Given that the principal amount (P) is Rs.x, the rate of interest (R) is 30%, and the time period (T) is 6 years.
So, using the formula, we have:
3600 = (x × 30 × 6) / 100
Simplifying the equation, we get:
3600 = 180x / 100
3600 * 100 = 180x
360000 = 180x
x = 360000 / 180
x = 2000
Therefore, the principal amount (P) is Rs.2000.
2. Calculation of Compound Interest:
The compound interest formula is given by:
Compound Interest (CI) = P × (1 + R/100)^T - P
Given that the principal amount (P) is Rs.2000, the rate of interest (R) is 25%, and the time period (T) is 2 years.
So, using the formula, we have:
CI = 2000 × (1 + 25/100)^2 - 2000
Simplifying the equation, we get:
CI = 2000 × (1 + 0.25)^2 - 2000
CI = 2000 × (1.25)^2 - 2000
CI = 2000 × 1.5625 - 2000
CI = 3125 - 2000
CI = 1125
Therefore, the compound interest obtained by A is Rs.1125.
Conclusion:
The compound interest obtained by A is Rs.1125, which is option 'C'.

X * 30 * 6/100 = 3600
x = Rs.2000
Total amount obtained by A = 2000 + 3600 = Rs.5600
Compound interest obtained by A = 5600 * (1 + 25/100)2 – 5600 = 5600 * (125/100)2 – 5600 = 5600 * 25/16 – 5600 = 8750 – 5600 = Rs.3150
