The difference between CI and SI on a certain sum of money for 3 years at 5% p.a. is Rs. 122. Find the sum invested ?

a) Rs. 10000
b) Rs. 12000
c) Rs. 16000
d) Rs. 20000

Answer: c
Explanation:
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Rate of interest = 5}}\% {\text{ p}}{\text{.c}}{\text{.p}}{\text{.a}}{\text{.}} \cr & {\text{If time 3 years than CI}} – {\text{SI}} \cr & {\text{ = }}P\left[ {{{\left( {\frac{R}{{100}}} \right)}^3} + 3{{\left( {\frac{R}{{100}}} \right)}^2}} \right] \cr & \Rightarrow 122 = P\left[ {{{\left( {\frac{5}{{100}}} \right)}^3} + 3{{\left( {\frac{5}{{100}}} \right)}^2}} \right] \cr & \Rightarrow 122 = P\left( {\frac{{125}}{{1000000}} + \frac{{75}}{{10000}}} \right) \cr & 122 = P\left[ {\frac{{125 + 7500}}{{1000000}}} \right] \cr & 122 = P\left[ {\frac{{7525}}{{1000000}}} \right] \cr & P = \frac{{122 \times 1000000}}{{7625}} \cr & P = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. 16000}} \cr} $$
