    C 2760 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 2340 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    For 1st year, R% = 20% Amount = 20000 × [(1 + (20/100)] => 20000 × [1 + (1/5)] => 20000 × (6/5) = 24000 Compound Interest = 24000 – 20000 = Rs.4000 For 2nd year, P = Rs.24000 and R% = 15% Amount = 24000 × [(1 + (15/100)] => Amount = 24000 × (23/20) = 1200 × 23 = Rs.27600 Compound Interest = 27600 – 24000 = Rs.3600 For 3rd year, P = Rs. 27600, R% = 10%, Amount = 27600 × [(1 + (10/100)] = 27600 × (11/10) = 2760 × 11 = Rs. 30360 Compound Interest = 30360 – 27600 = Rs.2760
