Diya borrowed a sum of ₹25,000 from Abha for two years. If the rate of interest is 8% compounded annually, find the amount that Diya has to pay back.
₹29,160
The formula for compound interest is A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt), where P = ₹25,000, r = 0.08, t = 2 years, and n = 1 (since it's compounded annually). - A = 25000(1 + 0.08/1)^(1×2) = 25000(1.08)^2 = 25000 × 1.1664 = ₹29,160. Thus, the amount Diya has to pay back is ₹29,160.
