Show answer & explanation

Explanation

  The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 21218

Understanding

Application

In 4 years at simple interest the principal increases by 12%.

So,

0.12P = (P × R × 4)/100

R = 3

Now,

P = 20000

T = 2 years

R = 3%

So,

A = 20000 × (1 + 3/100)2

= 20000 × 1.0609

= 21218
