    Explanation

    Let Sasha bought diamond at a price of Rs. T. The price of diamond increases by 10% every year. After two years, market price of diamond = Rs. T × (1 + 10/100) × (1 + 10/100) = Rs. 1.21T Cost price for Harry = Selling price for Sasha = Rs. 1.21T + Rs. 500 = Rs. (1.21T + 500) We observe that with information, the value of T cannot be found.
