Solution

Here, P = Principal

A = ₹ 4036.80

I = Compound Interest

R = 16 %

N = 2 years

A = P `(1 + "R"/100)^"N"`

   = 4036.80 = P `(1 + 16/100)^2`

    = 4036.80 = P `(1 + 4/25)^2`

    = 4036.80  = P `(29/25)^2`

    = P = `(4036.80 xx 25 xx 25)/(29 xx 29)`

    = P = 3000

Also,

I = A − P

= 4036.80 − 3000

= 1036.80

Hence, the compound interest is ₹ 1036.80
