Correct Answer: INR 2,500


Solution : Given: Compound interest = 981
$r=18$%
$t=2$ years
Solve by using the formula: Compound interest = $P[(1+\frac{r}{100})^{t}–1]$ to get the desired value where $P$ is principal, $r$ is the rate of interest and $t$ is the time in years.
Putting the value in the above formula, we have,
⇒ $981=P[(1+\frac{18}{100})^{2}-1]$
⇒ $981=P[(\frac{59}{50})^{2}-1]$
⇒ $981=P[\frac{3481–2500}{2500}]$
⇒ $981=P[\frac{981}{2500}]$
⇒ $P=2500$
Hence, the correct answer is INR 2,500.
