Question 14: The simple interest on a certain sum computes to Rs. 600 in 3 years and the compound interest on the same sum, at the same rate and for 2 years computes to Rs. 410. Find the rate per cent.

Answer:

Therefore Rs. 10 is the interest for one year on the interest of 1st year i.e. on Rs. 200

Question 15: The compound interest calculated yearly at 10% on a certain sum of money amounts to Rs. 665.50 in the fifth year. Calculate :
(i) C.I. for the sixth year at the same rate and on the same sum.
