Correct Answer: Rs. 5000
Solution : $\text{Total Amount}=\text{Principal}[(1+\frac{\text{Rate}}{100})^{\text{Time}}-1]$ $⇒\text{618}=\text{Principal}[(1+\frac{\text{6}}{100})^{\text{2}}-1]$ $⇒\text{618}=\text{Principal}[(\frac{\text{106}}{100})^{\text{2}}-1]$ $⇒\text{618}=\text{Principal}[(\frac{\text{11236}}{10000})-1]$ $⇒\text{618}=\text{Principal}[(\frac{\text{1236}}{10000})]$ $⇒\text{618}\times (\frac{10000}{1236})=\text{Principal}$ $\therefore\text{Principal}=5000$ Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 5000.
