A. $50
B. $100
C. $1,050
D. $1,100
E. $1,150


Amount = P + (P *n * r)/100
= 1000 + ( 1000*5*2)/100
= 1100$

Choice D

Thanks

\(SI = \frac{1000*2*5}{100}\)

So, \(SI = 100\)

Thus, Amount available at the end of 2 years is $1,100 , Answer must be (D)

Solution


Given:
    • Starting balance = $1,000
    • Annual rate of simple interest = 5%
    • No other money was withdrawn or deposited

To find:
    • The final balance after two years

Approach and Working:
    • Balance at the end of 1 year = $1,000 + 5% of $1,000 = $1,000 + $50 = $1,050
    • Balance at the end of two years = $1,050 + 5% of 1,000 = $1,100

Hence, the correct answer is Option D

Answer: D
