    C Rs. 3050 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 3822 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Rs. 2548 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Using formula Difference = Sum(R/100)2 Or, 180 = P(30/100)2 Or, 180 = P(900/10000) Or, 0.0900P = 180 Or, P = 2000 Sum that is invested on compound interest = 2000 + 1000 = Rs. 3000 Compound interest = 3000(1 + 30/100)3 – 3000 = 3000 × (13/10) × (13/10) × (13/10) – 3000 = 6591 – 3000 = Rs. 3591
