Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
I = N123; R = 3%' T = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) yrs; P = \(\frac{100 \times 1}{RT}\)
P = \(\frac{100 \times 123}{3 \times 2.5}\)
principal(P) = N1640
I = N123; R = 3%' T = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) yrs; P = \(\frac{100 \times 1}{RT}\)
P = \(\frac{100 \times 123}{3 \times 2.5}\)
principal(P) = N1640
