Detailed Solution & Logic
Correct Answer:
11%
Given:
Principal = ₹10,000
Amount after 2 years = ₹12,321
Compound Interest formula:
$A = P\left(1 + \frac{r}{100}\right)^2$
So,
$12321 = 10000\left(1 + \frac{r}{100}\right)^2$
$\left(1 + \frac{r}{100}\right)^2 = \frac{12321}{10000} = 1.2321$
Taking square root:
$1 + \frac{r}{100} = 1.11$
$\frac{r}{100} = 0.11$
$r = 11%$
Correct Answer: 11%
