Correct Answer: Rs. $1200$
Solution : Given: Rate of interest = 10% p.a Compound Interest (C.I) for the second year = Rs. 132 Formula: $CI = P[(1+\frac{R}{100})^{n}-1]$, where $P$ is the principal, $R$ is the rate of interest, and $n$ is the number of years. Solution: C.I of 2nd year – C.I of 1st year = Rs. 132 $P[(1+\frac{10}{100})^{2}–1]–P[(1+\frac{10}{100})^{1}–1]=132$ ⇒ $P[\frac{121}{100}–1]–P[1+\frac{1}{10}–1]=132$ ⇒ $P[\frac{121}{100}–1]–P[\frac{11}{10}–1]=132$ ⇒ $\frac{21P}{100}–\frac{P}{10}=132$ ⇒ $\frac{21P–10P}{100}=132$ ⇒ $11P=13200$ ⇒ $P=1200$ Hence, the correct answer is Rs. $1200$.
