We know that

SI = PTR/100

where SI = Simple Interest , P = Principal amount , T = Time , R = Rate of interest Per annum

In the same way

CI = P((1+i)^n-1)

Where CI = Compound interest, P = Principal amount , i= Rate of interest , n= no. of period

Given information

T = n = 2 years (t and n are same because compound interest is Compounded annually)
Rate of interest Per annum= 20%

Given that C.I - S.I = 128

by substituting given information in the formulas.we get

P((1+(20/100))^2)-1) - P*2*20/100 = 128
P((1+0.2)^2 -1)- P*2/5 = 128

Take common 'P'

P( (1.2)^2 -1) - ( 2/5)) = 128

P(1.44 -1 - 0.4) =128
P(0.04) = 128
P= 128/0.04
P = 3500. is the answer
