Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
D
Let the sum be Rs. x
$$\eqalign{ & \therefore 1352 = x{\left( {1 + \frac{4}{{100}}} \right)^2} \cr & \Rightarrow 1352 = x{\left( {1 + \frac{1}{{25}}} \right)^2} \cr & \Rightarrow 1352 = x{\left( {\frac{{26}}{{25}}} \right)^2} \cr & \Rightarrow x = \frac{{1352 \times 25 \times 25}}{{26 \times 26}} \cr & \Rightarrow x = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,1250 \cr} $$
$$\eqalign{ & \therefore 1352 = x{\left( {1 + \frac{4}{{100}}} \right)^2} \cr & \Rightarrow 1352 = x{\left( {1 + \frac{1}{{25}}} \right)^2} \cr & \Rightarrow 1352 = x{\left( {\frac{{26}}{{25}}} \right)^2} \cr & \Rightarrow x = \frac{{1352 \times 25 \times 25}}{{26 \times 26}} \cr & \Rightarrow x = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,1250 \cr} $$
