1.  An investor invested a sum of ₹ 12 lakhs in Company P in 1998. The total amount received after one year was re-invested in the same Company for one more year. The total appreciation received by the investor on his investment was?

A. ₹ 2,96,200
B. ₹ 2,42,200
C. ₹ 2,25,600
D. ₹ 2,16,000

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Amount received from Company P after one year (i.e., in 199) on investing ₹ 12 lakhs in it

= ₹ [12 + (8% of 12)] lakhs

= ₹ 12.96 lakhs.

Amount received from Company P after one year on investing ₹ 12.96 lakhs in the year 1999

= ₹ [12.96 + (10% of 12.96)] lakhs

= ₹ 14.256.

Appreciation received on investment during the period of two years

= ₹ (14.256 - 12) lakhs

= ₹ 2.256 lakhs

= ₹ 2,25,600.
