The formula for annual compound interest, including principal sum, is: $(CI\\; = \\;P{\\left( {1\\; + \\;\\frac{r}{{100\\; \\times \\;n}}} \\right)^{nt}} - P)$
\r\n\r\nWhere:
\r\n\r\nCI = Compound InterestP = the principal investment amount (the initial deposit or loan amount)r = the annual interest rate (decimal)n = the number of times that interest is compounded per yeart = the number of years the money is invested or borrowed for
\r\n\r\nHere n = 2
\r\n\r\nLet the principal be P
\r\n\r\nSI = (P × r × 2)/100 = 2400
\r\n\r\nPr = 120000
\r\n\r\nCI = P(1 + r/100)2 – P = 2544
\r\n\r\nP(1 + r2/10000 + 2r/100) – P = 2544
\r\n\r\n(Pr) × r/10000 + Pr/50 = 2544
\r\n\r\n120000r/10000 + 2400 = 2544
\r\n\r\nr = 12%
