Given:

Amount (A) = ₹41,160

Rate (r) = 40% per annum

Time (t) = 3 years

Formula used:

A = P(1 + \(\frac{r}{100}\))t

Where, P = Principal amount

Calculation:

41,160 = P(1 + \(\frac{40}{100}\))3

⇒ 41,160 = P(1.4)3

⇒ 41,160 = P × 2.744

⇒ P = \(\frac{41,160}{2.744}\)

⇒ P ≈ 15,000

∴ The correct answer is option 2.
