GIVEN AMOUNT=2310/-
TIME=2 AND 1/2 MEANS 24+6 months=30/12 years=5/2 years
R=15%
Thus using the formula of P.W
P.W=(amount*100)/(100+[R*T])
TIME=2 AND 1/2 MEANS 24+6 months=30/12 years=5/2 years
R=15%
Thus using the formula of P.W
P.W=(amount*100)/(100+[R*T])

Here, they have given the total amount (i.e. interest+principal) after 2 and 1/2 years = 5/2.
Simple interest = (principal*num of years*rate of interest)/100.
Total amount = simple interest & principal.
2310 = (pnr/100)+p.
2310 = p[(nr/100)+1].
231000 = p[((5/2)*15)+100].
(Since,multiply 100 on both sides).
Therefore, p = (231000*2)/[(5*15)+200].
Present worth p = 1680 rupees.
Simple interest = (principal*num of years*rate of interest)/100.
Total amount = simple interest & principal.
2310 = (pnr/100)+p.
2310 = p[(nr/100)+1].
231000 = p[((5/2)*15)+100].
(Since,multiply 100 on both sides).
Therefore, p = (231000*2)/[(5*15)+200].
Present worth p = 1680 rupees.
