Solution

Correct Option: 1

Given information:

  • Initial Investment = ₹ 2,00,000
  • Time Period = 5 years
  • CAGR = 10% per year

For CAGR problems, the formula is:

A=P×(1+r)nA = P \times (1 + r)^n

Where:

  • AA = Final amount
  • PP = Principal = ₹ 2,00,000
  • rr = Rate = 10% = 0.10
  • nn = Number of years = 5

Substituting the values:

A=2,00,000×(1+0.10)5A = 2,00,000 \times (1 + 0.10)^5

A=2,00,000×(1.10)5A = 2,00,000 \times (1.10)^5


Calculating (1.10)5(1.10)^5:

1.10×1.10=1.211.10 \times 1.10 = 1.21

1.21×1.10=1.3311.21 \times 1.10 = 1.331

1.331×1.10=1.46411.331 \times 1.10 = 1.4641

1.4641×1.10=1.610511.4641 \times 1.10 = 1.61051

Therefore, (1.10)5=1.61051(1.10)^5 = 1.61051


A=2,00,000×1.61051A = 2,00,000 \times 1.61051

A=3,22,102A = 3,22,102

Therefore, the end balance of the investment is ₹ 3,22,102.
