    A sum of Rs. 2420 is accumulated in 2 years 10% compound interest on a certain amount. Then the original amount is :

    A)  Rs.1000           

    B)  Rs.2000  

    C)  Rs.1500           

    D)  Rs.2500

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Let the principal be Rs. P. \[\therefore \] \[A=P{{\left( 1+\frac{R}{100} \right)}^{T}}\Rightarrow 2420=P{{\left( 1+\frac{10}{100} \right)}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,2420=P\times {{\left( 1+\frac{10}{100} \right)}^{2}}\Rightarrow 2420=P{{\left( \frac{11}{10} \right)}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,P=\frac{2420\times 10\times 10}{11\times 11}=Rs.\,2000\]
