    Difference between C.I & S.I for 3yrs = 3B+C
    Difference between C.I & S.I for 2yrs = B
    Now …. (3B+C)/B = 31/10
    B = 10
    C = 1
    Rate = C/B = 1/10 = 10%
  3. A certain sum is lent for 3yrs at 10% compound interest p.a. if the C.I for the 3rd year is 242. Then what will be the S.I for 4yrs?\

    C.I for 3rd yr = 121
    121 = 242
    1 = 2
