Explanation

CI = P * (1 + r/100)^n - P = 1200 * (1.1)^2 - 1200 = 1200 * 1.21 - 1200 = 1452 - 1200 = 252.

AI explanation

Using the compound interest amount formula, the final amount is 1200(1 + 0.10)^2 = 1200(1.21) = 1452. The compound interest is the final amount minus the original principal, which is 1452 - 1200 = 252. The compound interest is Rs 252.
