A man gets a simple interest of ₹ 1000 on a certain principal at the rate of 5 p.c.p.a. in 4 years. What compound interest will the man get on twice the principal in 2 years at the same rate?
(a) ₹ 1000
(b) ₹ 1005
(c) ₹ 10125
(d) ₹ 11025
(e) None of these
Answer Explanation Principal $=₹\left(\frac{100 \times 1000}{5 \times 4}\right)=₹ 5000$. Now, $\mathrm{P}=₹ 10000, \mathrm{T}=2$ years, $\mathrm{R}=5 \%$. $$\begin{aligned} \text { Amount } & =₹\left[10000\left(1+\frac{5}{100}\right)^{2}\right] \\ & =₹\left(10000 \times \frac{21}{20} \times \frac{21}{20}\right)=₹ 11025 . \\ \therefore \quad \text { C.I. } & =₹(11025-10000)=₹ 1025 . \end{aligned}$$
