good morning friends hello

Answer 2

Answer:

The sum borrowed by Mukesh=4000

Rate of Interest=5% p.a

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that SI = PRT/100

P = SI * 100/r*t

= 400 * 100 / r * 2

= 20000/R

We know that CI = P(1+r/100)^n - P

= P(1+r/100)^n - 1

410 = 20000/R(1+r/100)^n - 1

410 = 20000/R(10000 + R^2 + 2000R - 10000)/10000

410 = 2/R(R^2 + 200R)

410R = 2(R^2+200R)

2R^2 + 400R - 410R = 0

2R^2 = 10R

Rs =5

P = 20000/5

= 4000.

Sum = 4000, Rate =5%
