    C) Rs. 3200

    D) Rs. 3400

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] \[CI=P\left[ {{\left( 1+\frac{R}{100} \right)}^{T}}-1 \right]\] Here,     \[CI=328,\]\[R=5%,\]\[T=2\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[328=P\left[ {{\left( 1+\frac{5}{100} \right)}^{2}}-1 \right]\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[328=P\left[ {{\left( 1+\frac{1}{20} \right)}^{2}}-1 \right]\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[328=P\left[ {{\left( \frac{21}{20} \right)}^{2}}-1 \right]\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[328=P\left[ \frac{441}{400}-1 \right]\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[328=P\left[ \frac{441-400}{400} \right]\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\frac{328\times 400}{41}=P\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[P=8\times 400=\text{Rs}.\,\,3200\]
