उत्तर

P = x; r = ? ; t= 2 and 4 years ; A= Rs 26,460 (2 years) and Rs 29, 172.15 (4 years) 

`"A" = "P" (1 + "r"/100)^"n"`

`26460 = "x" (1 + "r"/100)^2` .............(i)

`29172.15 = "x" (1 + "r"/100)^4` ..........(ii)

`therefore ("x" (1 + "r"/100)^4)/("x" (1 + "r"/100)^2) = 29172.15/26460`

⇒ `(1 + "r"/100)^2 = 194481/176400`

⇒ `(1 + "r"/100)^2 = (441/420)^2`

⇒ `1 + "r"/100 = 441/420`

⇒ `"r"/100 = 441/420 - 1`

⇒ `"r"/100 = (441 - 420)/420`

r = `21/420 xx 100`

r = 5% 

Using (i) 

`"x" (1 + "r"/100)^2` =Rs 26460

`"x" (1 + 5/100)^2` =Rs 26460

`"x" (105/100)^2` = Rs 26460

1.1025 x = Rs 26,460

x = Rs 24,000 

The sum = Rs 24,000 and rate of interest = 5 %
