Correct Answer :

Option C

Rs.21000

Solution :

The correct option is Rs.21000.


Let's solve the problem step-by-step.


Step 1: Define the variables for the investments.

Let the total amount invested be Rs. 47000.

Let the amount invested in compound interest (CI) be x rupees.

Then, the amount invested in simple interest (SI) will be (47000-x) rupees.


Step 2: Calculate the Simple Interest (SI).

Simple Interest is calculated using the formula:

SI=P×R×T100

Given for SI:

Principal (P) = 47000-x

Rate (R) = 12% per annum

Time (T) = 2 years


Substituting these values into the formula:

SI=(47000-x)×12×2100

SI=24(47000-x)100=0.24×(47000-x)

SI=11280-0.24x


Step 3: Calculate the Compound Interest (CI).

Compound Interest for 2 years at rate R can be found using the net effective rate formula:

Effective Rate=R+R+R×R100

For R=15%:

Effective Rate=15+15+15×15100=30+2.25=32.25%


So, the total Compound Interest is:

CI=32.25% of x=0.3225x


Step 4: Set up the equation using the given difference between CI and SI.

According to the problem, the compound interest received is Rs. 532.5 more than the simple interest:

CI-SI=532.5


Substitute the expressions for CI and SI into the equation:

0.3225x-(11280-0.24x)=532.5

0.3225x-11280+0.24x=532.5

0.5625x-11280=532.5

0.5625x=11280+532.5

0.5625x=11812.5


Step 5: Solve for x.

x=11812.50.5625

x=21000


Therefore, the amount invested by the man on compound interest is Rs.21000.
