  1. If the compound interest on a certain sum for 2 years at 3% per annum is ₹ 101.50, then the simple interest on the same sum at the same rate and for the same time will be
    1. ₹ 90.00
    2. ₹ 95.50
    3. ₹ 100.00
    4. ₹ 98.25
Correct Option: C

Let the sum be P.
Given Here , Compound Interest ( CI ) = ₹ 101.50 , Rate ( R ) = 3% , Time = 2 years
Using the given formula ,

C.I. = P 1 +
r
n − 1
100

101.50 = P 1 +
3
2 − 1
100

⇒  101.50 = P
103
2 − 1
100

⇒ 101.50 = P
10609 - 10000
10000

⇒  P = ₹
101.50 × 10000
609

P = ₹
1015000
609

∴  S.I. =
P × R × T
100

⇒ S.I. =
1015000 × 2 × 3
= ₹ 100
609 × 100

We can find required answer with the help of given formula :
Here, C.I. = Rs 101.50 , R = 3% , S.I. = ?
C.I. = S.I.1 +
R
200

101.50 = S.I.1 +

S.I. =
101.50 × 200
= ₹ 100
