    2. ₹ 2,400
    3. ₹ 2,360
    4. ₹ 2,250
Correct Option: B

Given that , Compound Interest ( CI ) = ₹ 2, 448 , Rate ( R ) = 4% , Time = 2 years
Using the given formula ,

C.I.= P1 +
r
t− P
100

2448 = P 1 +
4
t − 1
100

⇒ 2448 = P 1 +
4
2 − 1
100

⇒  2448 = P
676
− 1
625

⇒ 2448 = P
676 - 625
625

⇒ 2448 = P
51
625

∴  P =
2448 × 625
= ₹ 30,000

∴  S.I. =
30000 × 4 × 2
= ₹ 2400

We can find required answer with the help of given formula :
Here, C.I. = ₹ 2448 , R = 4% , S.I. = ?
C.I. = S.I.1 +
R
200

2448 = S.I.1 +

200

2448 = S.I.1 +

S.I. =
2448 × 50
= ₹ 2400
