Given:
Raghu invested a certain sum in Scheme X for 4 years.
Scheme X offers simple interest of 12% per annum for the first two years.
Scheme X offers compound interest (compounded annually) of 20% per annum for the next two years.
The total interest earned by Raghu after 4 years is Rs. 11,016.
To find:
The sum invested by Raghu in Scheme X.
Solution:
Let's assume the sum invested by Raghu in Scheme X is Rs. P.
Calculating the Simple Interest:
For the first two years, Raghu earns simple interest at the rate of 12% per annum.
Simple Interest for 2 years = (P * 12 * 2) / 100 = (24P/100)
Calculating the Compound Interest:
For the next two years, Raghu earns compound interest at the rate of 20% per annum.
Compound Interest for 2 years = P * (1 + (20/100))^2 - P = P * (1.2)^2 - P = (1.44P - P) = 0.44P
Total Interest Earned:
The total interest earned by Raghu after 4 years is Rs. 11,016.
So, (24P/100) + 0.44P = 11,016
0.24P + 0.44P = 11,016
0.68P = 11,016
P = 11,016 / 0.68
P ≈ Rs. 16,200
Therefore, the sum invested by Raghu in Scheme X is approximately Rs. 16,200.
Raghu invested a certain sum in Scheme X for 4years. Scheme X offers ...
Let the sum of money invested by Raghu be P.
Then,
Simple interest rate in two years = 12×2 = 24%
Compound interest rate in two years = 20+20+(20×20/100) = 44%
Total interest rate in four years = 24 + 44 = 68%
According to question,
68% of Amount = 11016
Amount = 16200
