First, find the rate of interest using the simple interest formula: 10800 equals 22500 times 4 times R divided by 100, which gives a rate of 12 percent. Now calculate the compound interest on 22500 for 2 years at 12 percent using the formula P times the quantity 1 plus R divided by 100 close quantity squared, yielding an amount of 22500 times 1.12 squared, or 28224. The compound interest paid is the final amount minus the principal, so 28224 minus 22500 equals Rs. 5724.
