Annual Rate of Interest Offered by Two Finance Companies Over the Years.

Q1: An investor invested a sum of Rs. 12 lakhs in Company P in 1998. The total amount received after one year was re-invested in the same Company for one more year. The total appreciation received by the investor on his investment was?

A Rs. 2,96,200

B Rs. 2,42,200

C Rs. 2,25,600

D Rs. 2,16,000

ANS:C - Rs. 2,25,600

Amount received from Company P after one year (i.e., in 199) on investing Rs. 12 lakhs in it = Rs. [12 + (8% of 12)] lakhs = Rs. 12.96 lakhs. Amount received from Company P after one year on investing Rs. 12.96 lakhs in the year 1999 = Rs. [12.96 + (10% of 12.96)] lakhs = Rs. 14.256. Appreciation received on investment during the period of two years = Rs. (14.256 - 12) lakhs = Rs. 2.256 lakhs = Rs. 2,25,600.
