Correct Answer: INR 15,625
Solution : Given: Compound interest – Simple interest = 76 Rate, $R$ = 4% Let the sum be $P$. $P(\frac{R}{100})^{2}(3 +\frac{R}{100})=76$ ⇒ $P(\frac{4}{100})^{2}(3+\frac{4}{100})=76$ ⇒ $P(\frac{1}{625})(\frac{76}{25})=76$ $\therefore P=15625$ Hence, the correct answer is INR 15,625.
