सुनील ने द.सा.द.शे. 12.5 दराने ₹ 16,000, 3 वर्षाच्या मुदतीने विहिरीवर पंप बसविण्यासाठी चक्रवाढ व्याजाने कर्ज घेतले. हेच कर्ज जर सरळ व्याजाने घेतले असते, तर दोन्ही प्रकारच्या व्याजात किती फरक पडला असता ? In order to buy a lift pump for his well, Sunil borrowed ₹ 16,000 for 3 years at the rate of compound intrest of 12.5 p.c.p.a. What would have been the difference in the interest on this principal had he borrowed it at simple interest ?

a)₹ 781.25✓ Correct
b)₹ 718.50
c)₹ 678.25
d)₹ 687.25

Principal P = 16000, Time n = 3 years, Rate R = 12.5% (or 1/8). CI = P * (1 + 1/8)³ - P. SI = (P * R * T) / 100. The difference between CI and SI for 3 years is calculated as ₹ 781.25.
