Correct Answer: 1.905
Solution :
Given:
Amount = INR 210000
Time = 2 years
Rate = 5%
$\text{Total Amount}=\text{Principal}×(1+\frac{\text{Rate}}{100})^{\text{Time}}$
⇒ $210000=\text{Principal}×(1+\frac{5}{100})^2$
⇒ $\text{Principal} = \frac{210000×20×20}{21×21}$
$\therefore \text{Principal}= INR 190476.2 \approx 1.905$ lakhs
Hence, the correct answer is 1.905.
