Solution
Let the sum be Rs P and the rate of interest be R %.
We know that Kamla paid Rs 200 as simple interest.
\[ \therefore 200 = \frac{PR(2)}{100}\]
PR = 10, 000 . . . (1)
Also, Kamla received Rs 210 as compound interest .
\[ \therefore 210 = P(1 + \frac{R}{100} )^2 - 1\]
\[ 210(10, 000) = P( R^2 + 200R)\]
210R = `"R"^2` + 200R [from (1)]
R = 10 % p . a .
Putting the equation in (1), we get:
P = 1, 000
Thus, the required sum is Rs 1, 000 and the rate of interest is 10 %
