Correct Answer: INR 40,000


Solution : Difference between compound interest (compounding annually) and simple interest = INR 3600
Rate, $R$ = 30%
Term = 2 years
Let $P$ be the principal sum.
Difference between compound interest (compounding annually) and simple interest for 2 years $=P×(\frac{R}{100})^2$
$⇒ 3600 = P×(\frac{30}{100})^2$
$⇒ 3600 = P×\frac{9}{100}$
$\therefore P = \frac{360000}{9}=40000$
Hence, the correct answer is INR 40,000.
