उत्तर

Given: P = Rs. 6000,

A = Rs. 6720

n = 1 year

Formula: `A = P(1 + r/100)^n`

1) Substituting values we get:

⇒ 6720 = `6000(1 + r/100)^1`

⇒ `6720/6000 = 1 + r/100`

⇒ `6720/6000 - 1 = r/100`

⇒ `(6720 - 6000)/6000 = r/100`

⇒ `720/6000 = r/100`

⇒ `r = (720 xx 100)/6000`

⇒ r = 12%

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

`⇒ A = 6000 xx (1 + 12/100)^2`

`⇒ A = 6000 xx ((100 + 12)/100)^2`

`⇒ A = 6000 xx ((112)/100)^2`

`⇒ A = 6000 xx (28/25)^2`

`⇒ A = 6000 xx 784/625`

⇒ A = 7526.40
