The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine which of the given statements are sufficient to find the amount required to be returned after 2 years for a loan taken at compound interest. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: We need to find the total amount to be returned after 2 years when a certain sum of money is borrowed at compound interest. 2. **Analyzing Statement I**: - The statement says that if the amount was borrowed at simple interest, then after 5 years, ₹600 was required to be paid as simple interest. - From this, we can calculate the simple interest per year: \[ \text{Simple Interest per year} = \frac{600}{5} = ₹120 \] 3. **Calculating Principal from Statement I**: - The simple interest formula is: \[ \text{SI} = \frac{P \times R \times T}{100} \] - Here, we know SI for 5 years is ₹600, but we need to find the principal (P). We will need the rate of interest to find P. 4. **Analyzing Statement II**: - This statement provides the rate of interest, which is 6% per annum. - Now, we can use this rate to find the principal: \[ 600 = \frac{P \times 6 \times 5}{100} \] - Rearranging gives: \[ P = \frac{600 \times 100}{6 \times 5} = ₹2000 \] 5. **Calculating Amount After 2 Years**: - Now that we have the principal (P = ₹2000) and the rate (R = 6%), we can calculate the amount after 2 years using the compound interest formula: \[ A = P \left(1 + \frac{R}{100}\right)^T \] - Substituting the values: \[ A = 2000 \left(1 + \frac{6}{100}\right)^2 = 2000 \left(1.06\right)^2 \] - Calculating \( (1.06)^2 \): \[ (1.06)^2 = 1.1236 \] - Therefore: \[ A = 2000 \times 1.1236 = ₹2247.20 \] 6. **Analyzing Statement III**: - This statement says that the sum of money borrowed is 10 times the amount required to be paid as simple interest after 2 years. - Let the simple interest for 2 years be \( X \). Then, the principal \( P = 10X \). - The simple interest for 2 years can be calculated as: \[ X = \frac{P \times R \times 2}{100} \] - Substituting \( P = 10X \): \[ X = \frac{10X \times R \times 2}{100} \] - This leads to: \[ 100X = 20X \times R \implies R = \frac{100}{20} = 5\% \] - However, we already know the rate is 6%, so this statement does not provide sufficient information to determine the amount. ### Conclusion: - The first and second statements together are sufficient to find the amount required to be returned after 2 years. - The third statement alone is not sufficient. ### Final Answer: The correct option is that statements I and II together are sufficient to answer the question.
