The correct answer is

84,312

To calculate the total amount Jaspreet received after 2 years, we need to use the compound interest formula:

A = P (1 + r/n)^(nt)

Where:

  • A = the future value of the investment/loan, including interest
  • P = the principal investment amount (the initial deposit)
  • r = the annual interest rate (decimal)
  • n = the number of times that interest is compounded per year
  • t = the number of years the money is invested or borrowed for

In this case:

  • P = ₹58,550
  • r = 20% = 0.20
  • n = 1 (compounded annually)
  • t = 2 years

Plugging the values into the formula:

A = 58550 (1 + 0.20/1)^(1*2)

A = 58550 (1 + 0.20)^2

A = 58550 (1.20)^2

A = 58550 * 1.44

A = 84312

Therefore, the total amount received by Jaspreet after 2 years will be ₹84,312.
