Let the sum be ₹ p.
Here , A = ₹ 1352 , r = 4% , n = 2 years
Using the given formula ,A = P 
1 + r 
n 100 ∴ 1352 = p 1 + 4 2 100 ⇒ 1352 = p 1 + 1 2 25
Correct Option: D
Let the sum be ₹ p.

Let the rate percent per annum be r.
Given that , P = ₹ 2304 , A = ₹ 2500 , n = 2 years
Using the given formula ,A = P 1 + r n 100 2500 = 2304 1 + r 2 100 ⇒ 1 + r 2 = 2500 = 50 2 100 2304 48 ⇒ 1 + r = 50 = 25 100 48 24 ⇒ r = 25 − 1 = 1 100 24 24
Correct Option: C
Let the rate percent per annum be r.
Given that , P = ₹ 2304 , A = ₹ 2500 , n = 2 years
Using the given formula ,A = P 1 + r n 100 2500 = 2304 1 + r 2 100 ⇒ 1 + r 2 = 2500 = 50 2 100 2304 48 ⇒ 1 + r = 50 = 25 100 48 24 ⇒ r = 25 − 1 = 1 100 24 24 ⇒ r = 100 = 25 = 4 1 % 24 6 6

Let the sum be ₹ P and rate of interest be R% per annum.
Here , A1 = ₹ 10648 , A2 = ₹ 9680
and t1 = 3 years , t2 = 2 years
Using the given formula ,A = P 1 + R n 100
Then,P 1 + R 2 = 9680 ...(i) 100 P 1 + R 3 = 10648 ...(ii) 100
On dividing equation (ii) by (i)1 + R = 10648 100 9680 ⇒ R = 10648 − 1 100 9680 = 10648 − 9680 9680
Correct Option: B
Let the sum be ₹ P and rate of interest be R% per annum.

Let the principal be ₹ P.
Here , A = ₹ 270.40 , r = 4%, n = 2 years
Using the given formula ,A = P 1 + r n 100 ∴ 270.40 = P 1 + 4 2 100
⇒ 270.40 = P (1 + 0.04)2
Correct Option: C
Let the principal be ₹ P.

Here , P = ₹ 1000, P1 = ₹ 1331 , r = 10%
Let the required time be n years. Then,
Using the given formula ,
∴ P1 = P 1 + r n 
100 1331 = 1000 1 + 10 n 100 ⇒ 1331 = 10 + 1 n 1000 10
Correct Option: A
Here , P = ₹ 1000, P1 = ₹ 1331 , r = 10%
Let the required time be n years. Then,
Using the given formula ,∴ P1 = P 1 + r n 100 1331 = 1000 1 + 10 n 100 ⇒ 1331 = 10 + 1 n 1000 10 ⇒ 11 n = 11 3 10 10
Equating on both sides , we get
⇒ n = 3
