  1. On what sum does the difference between the compound interest and the simple interest for 3 years at 10% is ₹ 31 ?
    1. ₹ 1500
    2. ₹ 1200
    3. ₹ 1100
    4. ₹ 1000
Correct Option: D

Let the sum be P.
R = 10% , T = 3 years
Using the given formula ,

S.I. =
P × R × T
100

S.I. =
P × 10 × 3
=

⇒ P = 1000
∴  Sum = ₹ 1000
We can find required answer with the help of given formula :
Here, C.I. – S.I. = ₹ 31 , R = 10% , T = 3 years , P = ?
C.I. − S.I. = P
