    Solution

    Interest returned on investing Rs. 2000 = 2000(1 + 15/100)2 тАУ 2000 = 2000(115/100)2 тАУ 2000 = 2000(23/20)2 тАУ 2000 = 2000{232/202)- 1} = 2000{529/400)- 1} = 2000(529 - 400)/400 = Rs. 645 So, interest returned on investing Rs. Y for 1 year at simple interest of 20% p.a. = 645 + 20 = Rs. 665 Or, Y ├Ч (20/100) = 665 Or, Y = 665 ├Ч (100/20) Or, Y = 3325
