Calculation of Difference between C.I and S.I
Given:
Time (n) = 3 years
Rate of interest (r) = 6% p.a
Difference between C.I and S.I = Rs. 110.16
Let the principal be P.
Formula:
Compound Interest (C.I) = P[(1 + r/100)^n – 1]
Simple Interest (S.I) = Pnr/100
Difference between C.I and S.I = C.I – S.I
Therefore,
P[(1 + r/100)^n – 1] – Pnr/100 = 110.16
Simplifying the equation, we get
P[(1 + 6/100)^3 – 1 – 6/100] = 110.16
P[(1.06)^3 – 1 – 0.06] = 110.16
P[(1.191016) – 1 – 0.06] = 110.16
P[(0.131016)] = 110.16
P = 110.16/0.131016
P = Rs. 8432
Hence, the principal is Rs. 8432.
Verification:
C.I = P[(1 + r/100)^n – 1]
C.I = 8432[(1 + 6/100)^3 – 1]
C.I = 8432[(1.06)^3 – 1]
C.I = Rs. 1105.16
S.I = Pnr/100
S.I = 8432 × 6 × 3/100
S.I = Rs. 1517.76
Difference between C.I and S.I = C.I – S.I
Difference between C.I and S.I = 1105.16 – 1517.76
Difference between C.I and S.I = Rs. 110.16
Therefore, the calculated principal of Rs. 8432 satisfies the given conditions.
Hence, the correct option is D) Rs. 10000.
