If the compound interest on a certain sum of money for 3 years at 10% per annum be Rs. 993, what would be the simple interest?
Pick one
A) Rs. 880	B) Rs. 890	C) Rs. 895	D) Rs. 900	E) None
Let P = Principal   A - Amount   We have a = P(1 + R/100)3 and CI = A - P   ATQ 993 = P(1 + R/100)3 - P   ? P = 3000/-   Now SI @ 10% on 3000/- for 3 yrs = (3000 x 10 x 3)/100   = 900/-   Answer: Rs. 900.
