Solution
Here, P=Rs 20,000 ; t=3 years
For simple interest: r = 9 %
S.I. = `("P" xx "r" xx "t")/100`
S.I. = Rs `(20000 xx 9 xx 3)/100`
S.I. = Rs 5400
For compound interest : r = `8 1/2 %`
`"A" = "P" (1 + "r"/100)^"n"`
A = Rs 20000 `(1 + 17/(2 xx 100))^3`
A = Rs `20000 xx 217/200 xx 217/200 xx 217/200`
A = Rs 25545.70
C.I. = A - P
C.I. = Rs (25,545.70 - 20, 000)
C. I. = Rs 5,545.70
The difference in the compound interest and the simple interest= Rs (5,545.705 - 400) = Rs 145.70
Anand gained Rs 145.70
