Loss of 5 % = 50000 \times \frac{5 }{100}= 2500

Remaining amount= 47500

After 10 % gain = \frac{110}{100} \times 47500

Amount= 52250

After 15 5 gain amount = \frac{115}{100} \times 52250 = 60087.50

Amount compounded annually at 10 % p.a

For three year = 50000 [ 1 + \frac{10}{100} ] = 66550

Difference = 66550 -60087. 50 = 6462.50
