Correct Answer: INR 400


Solution : Amount after 4 years = INR 720
Amount after 5 years = INR 800
Interest of 1 year = INR 800 – INR 720 = INR 80
So, the interest of 4 years = 4 × INR 80 = INR 320
Principal = Amount after 4 years – interest of 4 years = INR 720 – INR 320 = INR 400
Hence, the correct answer is INR 400.
