Solution
Amount = 15800 + 7716.72 = Rs. 23,516.72
$A = P (1 + \frac{R}{100})^T$
=> $23,516.72 = 15,800 (1 + \frac{R}{100})^2$
=> $\frac{23,516.72}{15,800} = (1 + \frac{R}{100})^2$
=> $\frac{14884}{10000} = (1 + \frac{R}{100})^2$
=> $(1 + \frac{R}{100})^2 = (\frac{122}{100})^2$
=> $1 + \frac{R}{100} = \frac{122}{100}$
=> $\frac{R}{100} = \frac{122}{100} - 1$
=> $\frac{R}{100} = \frac{22}{100}$
=> $R = 22 \%$
