If the compound interest on a certain sum of money for 2 years at 5% p.a. is ₹328, then the sum is equal to: |
₹3,600 ₹3,500 ₹3,000 ₹3,200 |
₹3,200 |
Formula used- Amount = P$(1 \;+\; \frac{R}{100})^t$ Compound Interest = Amount - Principal Here, Compound interest = Rs 328 , R = 5%, t = 2 years 328 = P$(1 \;+\; \frac{5}{100})^2$ - P ⇒ 328 = P[$(\frac{21}{20})^2 - 1$] ⇒ 328 = P[$\frac{441}{400}$ - 1] ⇒ 328 = P[$\frac{41}{400}$] ⇒ P = $\frac{328 \times 400}{41}$ ⇒ P = 3200 Thus, Sum borrowed is Rs 3200 |
