    Explanation

    The sum grew to 240 at the end of 2 years. At the end of another 3 years, the sum grew to  300. i.e. in 3 years, the sum grew by  60. Therefore, each year, it grew by  20. Sum at the end of 2 years =  240 Sum grew by  20 each year. Hence, in the first 2 years, sum grew by 2 * 20 =  40. Therefore, sum at the beginning of the period = Sum at the end of 2 years - 40 =  240 -  40 =  200.
