Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Given:

  • Principal = Rs. 3200

  • Rate = 20% per annum

  • Time = 2 years

Formula used:

Compound interest = P[(1 + r/100)^n − 1]

Calculation:

  1. Compute the growth factor: (1 + 20/100)^2 = (1.2)^2 = 1.44

  2. Amount after 2 years = 3200 × 1.44 = 4608

  3. Compound interest = Amount − Principal = 4608 − 3200 = 1408

Answer: The interest received after two years is Rs. 1408.
