R% = difference amount after n And (n+1) years /amount after n years x 100

1512 -\frac{1260}{1260}\times 100 = \frac{252}{1260} \times 100 = 20 %

Let us assume  P = 100 then

Total interest when P = 100 is 28.8

3rd year interest given = 1260

Then the common value multiplied = 1260 /28.8 = 43.75

So principal = 43.75 x 100 =4375
