Question : Priya borrowed a certain sum at the rate of 12% per annum. If she paid INR 10176 at the end of 2 years as interest compounded annually, what was the sum she borrowed?
Option 1: INR 30000
Option 2: INR 20000

Option 4: INR 40000
Correct Answer: INR 40000
Solution : Rate, $R$ = 12% Term, $n$ = 2 years Compound interest = INR 10176 Let $P$ be the principal sum. When compounded annually, Compound interest = $P(1+\frac{R}{100})^{n}-P$ So, $10176 = P(1+\frac{12}{100})^{2}-P$ ⇒ $10176 =P(1+\frac{3}{25})^{2}-P$ ⇒ $10176 = P(\frac{28}{25})^{2}-P$ ⇒ $10176 = P(\frac{28^2-25^2}{25^2})$ ⇒ $10176
