If interest is being compounded annually. then what sum will amount to Rs. 9464 in 2 years at the rate of 30 percent per annual at compound interest?
 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Rs. 5600.

A = 9464

r = 30% = 0.30

n = 2

A = P(1 + r)n

P = A/(1 + r)n

⇒ P = 9464/(1 + 0.30)2​

⇒ P = 9464/1.69

⇒ P = 5600
