Find the principal if the interest compounded at the rate of 10% per annum for two years is Rs. 420 ?

Correct Answer: Rs. 2000

Explanation:

Given,
Compound rate, R = 10% per annum
Time = 2 years
C.I = Rs. 420
Let P be the required principal.
A = (P+C.I)
Amount, A =  P 1   +   r 100 n


(P+C.I) =  P 1   +   10 100 2


(P+420) = P[11/10][11/10]


P-1.21P = -420


0.21P = 420


Hence, P = 420/0.21 = Rs. 2000
