The correct Answer is:
To find the principal amount based on the given statements, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement I Statement I states that the simple interest accrued on the sum at the rate of 12% per annum in 2 years is Rs. 360 less than the compound interest on the same sum at 12% per annum in 2 years. 1. **Calculate Simple Interest (SI)**: - Formula: \( SI = \frac{P \times R \times T}{100} \) - Here, \( R = 12\% \) and \( T = 2 \) years. - Therefore, \( SI = \frac{P \times 12 \times 2}{100} = \frac{24P}{100} = 0.24P \). 2. **Calculate Compound Interest (CI)**: - Formula: \( CI = P \left(1 + \frac{R}{100}\right)^T - P \) - Here, \( R = 12\% \) and \( T = 2 \) years. - Therefore, \( CI = P \left(1 + \frac{12}{100}\right)^2 - P = P \left(1.12^2 - 1\right) = P(1.2544 - 1) = P \times 0.2544 \). 3. **Set up the equation**: - According to the statement: \( SI = CI - 360 \) - Thus, \( 0.24P = 0.2544P - 360 \). 4. **Solve for P**: - Rearranging gives: \( 360 = 0.2544P - 0.24P \) - This simplifies to: \( 360 = 0.0144P \) - Therefore, \( P = \frac{360}{0.0144} = 25000 \). ### Step 2: Analyze Statement II Statement II states that the sum doubles itself in 10 years at 10% per annum rate of simple interest. 1. **Using the formula for Simple Interest**: - If the sum doubles, then the total amount \( A = 2P \). - The formula for Simple Interest is \( A = P + SI \). - Therefore, \( 2P = P + SI \) implies \( SI = P \). 2. **Calculate SI**: - Using the formula \( SI = \frac{P \times R \times T}{100} \): - Here, \( R = 10\% \) and \( T = 10 \) years. - Thus, \( SI = \frac{P \times 10 \times 10}{100} = P \). 3. **Set up the equation**: - From \( SI = P \), we have \( P = P \), which is always true but does not provide a specific value for P. ### Step 3: Analyze Statement III Statement III states that the compound interest on the sum in 2 years at the rate of 12% per annum is Rs. 6360. 1. **Using the formula for Compound Interest**: - We have already derived that \( CI = P \times 0.2544 \). - Setting this equal to Rs. 6360 gives: - \( 0.2544P = 6360 \). 2. **Solve for P**: - Therefore, \( P = \frac{6360}{0.2544} \approx 25000 \). ### Conclusion From the analysis of the statements: - Statement I gives us \( P = 25000 \). - Statement II does not provide a specific value for P. - Statement III also gives us \( P = 25000 \). Thus, we can conclude that the principal amount is Rs. 25000 based on Statements I and III.
