  1. A = P [1 + (R/100)]^N
    9/4 P = P [1+ (R/100)]^2

    Cancelling P on Both sides

    9/4 = [1+(R/100)][1+(R/100)]
    (3/2)^2 = [1+(R/100)]^2
    3/2 = 1+(R/100)
    1/2 = R/100
    ie R = 50 %

  2. Answer and Explanation of Question No. 33

    Correct Answer is :(b) "50%"
    Explanation : Just Remember If principle is not given and principle is not required the we can assume the value of Principle instead taking it x.
    Let Principle = 1
    then it amounted to 9/4 of 1 = 9/4

    Amount = P (1+r%)^2
    9/4 = 1 (1+r%)^2
    3/2 = 1+r%
    r= 3/2-1 *100
    r= 50%
