  1. Solution!!

    The concept of simple interest and compound interest has to be used here. The principal, time and the difference between the compound interest and simple interest is given in the question. We are asked to find the rate of interest.

    We will first find the simple interest and then we will find the compound interest.

    Principal = Rs 14000

    Time = 2 years

    Rate of interest = x

    Simple interest = (P × R × T)/100

    Here,

    P → Principal

    R → Rate of interest

    T → Time

    = (14000 × x × 2)/100

    = 140 × x × 2

    = 280x

    Simple interest = 280x

    Now, let’s find the compound interest.

    Principal (P) = Rs 14000

    Rate of interest (R) = x

    Time (n) = 2 years

    Amount = P(1 + (R/100))

    Amount = 14000(1 + (x/100))²

    Amount = 14000((100 + x)/100)²

    Amount = 14000 × (100 + x)/100 × (100 + x)/100

    Amount = 1.4 × (100 + x) × (100 + x)

    Amount = 1.4 × (100 + x)²

    Amount = 1.4 × (10000 + x² + 200x)

    Amount = 14000 + 1.4x² + 280x

    Amount = 1.4x² + 280x + 14000

    Compound interest (CI) = Amount Principal

    CI = (1.4x² + 280x + 14000) – 14000

    CI = 1.4x² + 280x

    We know that the difference between the compound interest (CI) and simple interest (SI) is Rs 35. So,

    CI – SI = 35

    (1.4x² + 280x) – 280x = 35

    1.4x² = 35

    x² = 35 ÷ 1.4

    x² = 25

    x = √25

    x = 5

    Hence, the rate of interest is 5% per annum.

    Rate of interest (R) = 5%

    The concept of simple interest and compound interest has to be used here. The principal, time and the difference between the compound interest and simple interest is given in the question. We are asked to find the rate of interest.


    We will first find the simple interest and then we will find the compound interest.


    Principal = Rs 14000


    Time = 2 years


    Rate of interest = x


    Simple interest = (P × R × T)/100


    Here,


    P → Principal


    R → Rate of interest


    T → Time


    = (14000 × x × 2)/100


    = 140 × x × 2


    = 280x


    Simple interest = 280x


    Now, let’s find the compound interest.


    Principal (P) = Rs 14000


    Rate of interest (R) = x


    Time (n) = 2 years


    Amount = P(1 + (R/100))ⁿ


    Amount = 14000(1 + (x/100))²


    Amount = 14000((100 + x)/100)²


    Amount = 14000 × (100 + x)/100 × (100 + x)/100


    Amount = 1.4 × (100 + x) × (100 + x)


    Amount = 1.4 × (100 + x)²


    Amount = 1.4 × (10000 + x² + 200x)


    Amount = 14000 + 1.4x² + 280x


    Amount = 1.4x² + 280x + 14000


    Compound interest (CI) = Amount – Principal


    CI = (1.4x² + 280x + 14000) – 14000


    CI = 1.4x² + 280x


    We know that the difference between the compound interest (CI) and simple interest (SI) is Rs 35. So,


    CI – SI = 35


    (1.4x² + 280x) – 280x = 35


    1.4x² = 35


    x² = 35 ÷ 1.4


    x² = 25


    x = √25


    x = 5


    Hence, the rate of interest is 5% per annum.


    Rate of interest (R) = 5%
