Correct Answer: 90000

Solution

For two years the compound interest is $$\frac{PR(1)}{100}+\frac{PR(1)}{100}\left(1+\frac{PR(1)}{100}\right)$$

For three years the simple interest is $$\frac{9PR}{100}$$

Now R(1)= 5% and R=3%

Hence $$\frac{5P}{100}+\frac{5P}{100}\left(1.05\right)-\frac{9P}{100}=1125$$

$$\frac{-4P}{100}+\frac{5.25P}{100}=1125$$

$$\frac{1.25P}{100}=1125$$

Solving we get P= 90000
