Amount (A₁) = Rs. 2400
t₁ = 1 years
Amount (A₂) = Rs. 3000
t₂ = 2 years
Let rate % = R%
Principal = Rs. P
According to the question,
Case 1
2400 = P(1 + R/100) ... (1)
Case 2
3000 = P(1 + R/100)² ... (2)
Dividing eq. (2) by eq. (1),
3000/2400 = (1 + R/100)
5/4 = (1 + R/100) .. .(3)
From eq. (1),
2400 = P × 5/4
P = 2400 × 4/5
P = Rs.1920
Hence, required principal = Rs. 1920
So, the correct option is 4.
