    1. ₹ 200
    2. ₹ 50
    3. ₹ 150
    4. ₹ 100
Correct Option: D

Here , Compound Interest ( CI ) = ₹ 102 , Rate ( R ) = 4% , Time = 2 years
If the sum ( Principal ) be P, then

C.I. = P 1 +
R
T − 1
100

⇒  102 = P 1 +
4
2 − 1
100

⇒ 102 = P
26
2 − 1
25

⇒  102 = P
676
− 1
625

⇒  102 = P
676 − 625
625

⇒ 102 = P ×
51
625

⇒  P =
102 × 625
= ₹ 1250
51

∴  S.I.=
1250 × 2 × 4
= ₹ 100
