The simple interest on a sum of money for 3 years is Rs 240 and the compound interest on the sum at same rate for 2 years in Rs 170. The rate % p.a. is
Hint
S. I. for I year
C. I. for 2 years = Rs 170 = C. I. for 1st year + C. I. for 2nd year
Now, C. I. for 2nd year = 170 – 80 = Rs 90
∴ Interest on Rs 80 for 1 year = 90 – 80 = Rs 10
∴ Rate of interest
