For 1st year:

P = ₹ 2,000

R = 10%

T = 1 year

Interest=(P×R×T100)=(2,000×10×1100)=20,000100=200\text{Interest} = \Big(\dfrac{P \times R \times T}{100}\Big)\\[1em] = ₹ \Big(\dfrac{2,000 \times 10 \times 1}{100}\Big)\\[1em] = ₹ \dfrac{20,000}{100}\\[1em] = ₹ 200

And

Amount = P + Interest=2,000+200=2,200\text{Amount = P + Interest}\\[1em] = ₹ 2,000 + 200\\[1em] = ₹ 2,200

For 2nd year:

P = ₹ 2,200

R = 10%

T = 1 year

Interest=(P×R×T100)=(2,200×10×1100)=22,000100=220\text{Interest} = \Big(\dfrac{P \times R \times T}{100}\Big)\\[1em] = ₹ \Big(\dfrac{2,200 \times 10 \times 1}{100}\Big)\\[1em] = ₹ \dfrac{22,000}{100}\\[1em] = ₹ 220

And

Final amount = P + Interest=2,200+220=2,420\text{Final amount = P + Interest}\\[1em] = ₹ 2,200 + 220\\[1em] = ₹ 2,420

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
