The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will break down the information given and apply the relevant formulas for simple interest and compound interest. ### Step 1: Understanding the Simple Interest Scenario Veer invested an amount that doubled in 10 years. Let's denote the principal amount as \( P \). Given: - Amount after 10 years = \( 2P \) - Time = 10 years The formula for Simple Interest (SI) is: \[ SI = \frac{P \times R \times T}{100} \] Where: - \( SI \) = Simple Interest - \( P \) = Principal - \( R \) = Rate of interest per annum - \( T \) = Time in years Since the amount doubled, the interest earned in 10 years is equal to the principal: \[ SI = 2P - P = P \] ### Step 2: Setting Up the Equation Using the SI formula: \[ P = \frac{P \times R \times 10}{100} \] ### Step 3: Simplifying the Equation We can cancel \( P \) from both sides (assuming \( P \neq 0 \)): \[ 1 = \frac{R \times 10}{100} \] \[ R = 10\% \] ### Step 4: Understanding the Compound Interest Scenario Now, Veer invests an amount \( X \) at the same rate of interest (10%) but on compound interest (CI) for 3 years, and the total amount received is Rs. 5324. The formula for Compound Interest is: \[ A = P \left(1 + \frac{R}{100}\right)^T \] Where: - \( A \) = Amount after time \( T \) - \( P \) = Principal - \( R \) = Rate of interest - \( T \) = Time in years Given: - \( A = 5324 \) - \( R = 10\% \) - \( T = 3 \) ### Step 5: Setting Up the CI Equation Substituting the known values into the CI formula: \[ 5324 = X \left(1 + \frac{10}{100}\right)^3 \] \[ 5324 = X \left(1.1\right)^3 \] ### Step 6: Calculating \( (1.1)^3 \) Calculating \( (1.1)^3 \): \[ (1.1)^3 = 1.1 \times 1.1 \times 1.1 = 1.331 \] ### Step 7: Substituting Back to Find \( X \) Now substituting back: \[ 5324 = X \times 1.331 \] To find \( X \): \[ X = \frac{5324}{1.331} \] ### Step 8: Performing the Division Calculating \( X \): \[ X \approx 4000 \] ### Conclusion Thus, the amount invested by Veer is Rs. 4000.
