  1. The compound interest on a certain sum of money for 2 years at 10% per annum is ₹ 420. The simple interest on the same sum at the same rate and for the same time will be
    1. ₹ 350
    2. ₹ 375
    3. ₹ 380
    4. ₹ 400
Correct Option: D

Given that , Compound Interest ( CI ) = ₹ 420 , Rate ( R ) = 10% , Time = 2 years
If the principal be P then

C.I. = P 1 +
R
T − 1
100

⇒  420 = P 1 +
10
2 − 1
100

⇒  420 = P
121 − 100
100

⇒  420 =
P × 21
100

⇒  P =
420 × 100
= ₹ 2000
21

∴  S.I. =
PRT
100

S.I. =
2000 × 10 × 2
= ₹ 400
100

We can find required answer with the help of given formula :
Here, C.I. = Rs. 420 , R = 10% , S.I. = ?
C.I.= S.I.1 +
R
200

420 = S.I.1 +
10
200

420 = S.I.
210
200

S.I. =
420 × 200
= ₹ 400
210
