    Solution

    ATQ, Difference between the simple interest and compound interest for two years is given by PR2/1002 Where P = sum invested and R = rate of interest ATQ, Pr2/1002 = 200 Or, r2 = (200 × 100 × 100)/3200 = 625 Or, r = 25 (Since, rate cannot be negative) Therefore, amount received by ‘Asmita’ = {(3200 × 25 × 2)/100} + 3200 = Rs.4800
