Given: P=Rs5,000; A=Rs6,272 and n= 2years

(i) A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{100}\right)^{n}

\begin{array}{l} \Rightarrow 6,272=5,000\left(1+\frac{r}{100}\right)^{2} \\ \Rightarrow \frac{6,272}{5,000}=\left(1+\frac{r}{100}\right)^{2} \\ \Rightarrow \frac{784}{625}=\left(1+\frac{r}{100}\right)^{2} \\ \Rightarrow\left(\frac{28}{25}\right)^{2}=\left(1+\frac{r}{100}\right)^{2} \end{array}

on comparing,

\frac{28}{25}=1+\frac{r}{100}

on solving we get,

r=12%

(ii) Amount at the third year

\begin{array}{l} =5,000\left(1+\frac{12}{100}\right)^{3} \\ =5,000\left(\frac{28}{25}\right)^{3} \\ =\operatorname{Rs} 7,024.64 \end{array}
