The correct Answer is:
To determine the rate of compound interest based on the given statements, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the formula for Compound Interest The formula for compound interest (CI) is: \[ CI = P \times \left(1 + \frac{r}{100}\right)^t - P \] Where: - \(CI\) = Compound Interest - \(P\) = Principal amount (initial investment) - \(r\) = Rate of interest per annum - \(t\) = Time in years ### Step 2: Analyze Statement I Statement I states that the amount is invested for 3 years. - This gives us the value of \(t\) but does not provide any information about the principal amount \(P\) or the rate \(r\). ### Step 3: Analyze Statement II Statement II states that the interest earned is Rs. 1369. - This gives us the value of \(CI\), but without knowing the principal \(P\), we cannot find the rate \(r\). ### Step 4: Combine Statements I and II When we combine both statements: - We know \(t = 3\) years and \(CI = 1369\). - However, we still do not have the value of \(P\). Without knowing the principal amount, we cannot isolate \(r\) in the formula. ### Conclusion Since neither statement alone nor both statements together provide sufficient information to determine the rate of compound interest, the answer is that the information is insufficient. ### Final Answer The answer is option D: Both statements together are not sufficient.
