okay..let the fund was =x initially
OpenStudy (gorv):
now first by simple interest
OpenStudy (gorv):
\[interest=\frac{ amount *rate *time }{ 100}\]
OpenStudy (gorv):
it is given fund increase by 21 % after 2 year
so after 2 year fund = x+x*21/100
OpenStudy (gorv):

21*x/100 i told u na
OpenStudy (gorv):
\[\frac{ 21x }{ 100 }=\frac{ x*r*2 }{ 100 }\]
OpenStudy (gorv):
r=rate
t=2 year
principle= x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes
OpenStudy (gorv):

So x gets cancelled?
OpenStudy (gorv):
21/100=(r*2)/100
OpenStudy (gorv):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
So the answer is??
