The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to find the principal amount (sum borrowed) and the rate of interest. ### Step 1: Understand the Given Information - Suneeta borrowed a certain sum (let's denote it as \( P \)) from Reena at simple interest for 2 years. - She lent the same sum to Venu at compound interest for 2 years at the same rate. - The simple interest paid to Reena after 2 years is \( 100 \). - The compound interest received from Venu after 2 years is \( 110 \). ### Step 2: Calculate the Rate of Interest Using Simple Interest Formula The formula for simple interest is: \[ SI = \frac{P \times R \times T}{100} \] Where: - \( SI \) = Simple Interest - \( P \) = Principal amount - \( R \) = Rate of interest - \( T \) = Time in years From the problem, we know: \[ SI = 100, \quad T = 2 \] Substituting these values into the formula: \[ 100 = \frac{P \times R \times 2}{100} \] Rearranging gives: \[ 10000 = P \times R \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Compound Interest The formula for compound interest is: \[ CI = P \left(1 + \frac{R}{100}\right)^T - P \] Where: - \( CI \) = Compound Interest From the problem, we know: \[ CI = 110, \quad T = 2 \] Substituting these values into the formula: \[ 110 = P \left(1 + \frac{R}{100}\right)^2 - P \] This simplifies to: \[ 110 = P \left(\left(1 + \frac{R}{100}\right)^2 - 1\right) \] Expanding the square: \[ \left(1 + \frac{R}{100}\right)^2 = 1 + 2\frac{R}{100} + \left(\frac{R}{100}\right)^2 \] Thus: \[ 110 = P \left(2\frac{R}{100} + \left(\frac{R}{100}\right)^2\right) \] Rearranging gives: \[ 110 = P \left(\frac{2R + \frac{R^2}{100}}{100}\right) \] Multiplying through by 100: \[ 11000 = P(2R + \frac{R^2}{100}) \quad \text{(Equation 2)} \] ### Step 4: Substitute Equation 1 into Equation 2 From Equation 1, we have: \[ P = \frac{10000}{R} \] Substituting this into Equation 2: \[ 11000 = \left(\frac{10000}{R}\right) \left(2R + \frac{R^2}{100}\right) \] Simplifying: \[ 11000R = 10000(2R + \frac{R^2}{100}) \] Expanding: \[ 11000R = 20000R + 100R^2 \] Rearranging gives: \[ 100R^2 + 9000R = 0 \] Factoring out \( R \): \[ R(100R + 9000) = 0 \] Thus, \( R = 0 \) or \( R = -90 \) (not possible), so we need to solve: \[ 100R + 9000 = 0 \Rightarrow R = 90 \] ### Step 5: Find the Principal Amount \( P \) Using \( R = 20 \) in Equation 1: \[ P \times 20 = 10000 \Rightarrow P = \frac{10000}{20} = 500 \] ### Conclusion The principal amount \( P \) is \( 500 \) and the rate of interest \( R \) is \( 20\% \).
