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.
