Correct Answer: Rs. 1441
Solution : Given: Principle ($P$) = Rs. 7205 Rate of compound interest ($R$) = 20% per annum Time ($T$) = 1 year So, the total interest = $P(1+\frac{R}{100})^T-P$ = $7205(1+\frac{20}{100})^1-7205$ = $7205(\frac{6}{5})-7205$ = 8646 – 7205 = Rs. 1441 Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 1441.
