Given

P = Principal

R = Rate

T = Time

P = ₹ $36,000$, r = $10$%p.a., t = $1.5$year

Solution:-

C1 = (P × r × t)/$100$

= $(36,000\times 10\times 1)/100$  

= ₹ $3,600$

P1 = $36,000+3,600$

= ₹ $39,600$

Solution:-

C2 = (P × r × t)/$100$

= $(39,600\times 10\times 1)/100$

P2 = $36,000+3,600$

= ₹ $41,580$
