Correct Answer: INR 25,000
Solution : Amount = INR 51,840 Term, $n$ = 2 years Rate, $R$ = 40% Let $P$ be the principal sum. When compounded half-yearly, Amount = $P(1+\frac{R}{200})^{2n}$ ⇒ 51840 = $P(1+\frac{40}{200})^{2×2}$ ⇒ 51840 = $P(1+\frac{1}{5})^{4}$ ⇒ 51840 = $P(\frac{6}{5})^{4}$ ⇒ $P = \frac{51840×625}{36×36}=25000$ Hence, the correct answer is INR 25,000.
