A sum of Rs.4800 is invested at a compound interest for three years, the rate of interest being 10% p.a., 20% p.a. and 25% p.a. for the 1st, 2nd and the 3rd years respectively. Find the interest received at the end of the three years.

A. Rs.2520
B. Rs.3120
C. Rs.3320
D. Rs.2760
E. None of these

Explanation:

Let A be the amount received at the end of the three years.

A = 4800[1 + 10/100][1 + 20/100][1 + 25/100]
A = (4800 * 11 * 6 * 5)/(10 * 5 * 4)
A = Rs.7920
So the interest = 7920 – 4800 = Rs.3120

Correct Answer: Rs.3120 ✔
