Solution
Principal (P) = Rs.5000
Period (T) = 2 years
Amount at the end of one year = Rs.5600
∴ Interest for the first year = A − P
= Rs.5600 − 5000
= Rs.600
(i) ∴ Rate of interest =`("S.I."xx100)/("P"xx"T")`
`=(600xx100)/(5000xx1)`
= 12% p.a.
(ii) Principal for the second year = Rs.5600
Interest for the second year =`(5600xx12xx1)/100`
= ₹672
∴ Amount at the end of the second year
= P + S.I.
= 5600 + 672
= ₹6272
