Use CI formula to get rs 840 //formula got substituted.
then divide by 2 >>840/2=420 //a said in question.
then 420 = P * 3 * 8/100.
P = 1750.
then divide by 2 >>840/2=420 //a said in question.
then 420 = P * 3 * 8/100.
P = 1750.

400*2+40=840.
S.I = 420
p = (100*420/3*8) = 1750.
S.I = 420
p = (100*420/3*8) = 1750.

Answer Is wrong.
Let me explain,
CI=40000(1+10/2*100)^2*2 -40000
Because in problem said that compounded half-yearly.

Can I do it like this?
[(3 * 8 * P) / 100] = 1/2[4000 (1 +10/100) ^2 - 4000].
[(3 * 8 * P) / 100] = 1/2[4000 (1 +10/100) ^2 - 4000].
