Cannot be determinedExplanation
Let rate of interest in case of simple interest be M and that in compound interest be N. We know, Simple interest = (Principal × Rate × Time)/100 And, Compound Interest = Principal If interest earned is same in 2 years, ⇒ (Principal × M × 2)/100 = Principal × (1 + N/100)2 ⇒ M/50 = 1 + N2/10000 + N/50 With this equation, the ratio of M and N cannot be determined, as sum of degrees of M and N in each term is not same.Related questions
