Question:

At what rate of interest ₹1,200 becomes ₹1,323 in 2 years where interest gets compounded annually:

Options:

$2\frac{1}{2}$%

$3\frac{1}{4}$%

5%

$7\frac{1}{2}$%

Correct Answer:

5%

Explanation:

Principal, P = 1200

After compounding annually @ r% p.a., Amount, A = 1323

T = 2 years

A = P(1 +r/100)^T

1323 = 1200 (1+ r/100)^2

1323/1200 = (1+ r/100)^2

1 + r/100 = 1.05

r = 5%

The correct answer is Option (3) → 5%
