    2. Rs. 150000
    3. Rs. 132050
    4. Rs. 100000
Correct Option: D

Let the principal be Rs. P.

For 4 years, S.I. =
Principal × Time × Rate
100

S.I. =
P × 4 × 5
= Rs.
P
1005

C.I. = P 1 +
R
T − 1
100

C.I. = P 1 +
10
4 − 1
100

C.I. = P
11
4 − 1

C.I. = P
14641
− 1
10000

C.I. =
4641P
10000

According to the question,
∴ C.I. - S.I. = 26410
4641P
P
= 26410
100005

⇒ 
4641P − 2000P
= 2641
10000

⇒ 
2641P
= 2641
10000

⇒ P = Rs. 10000
