  1. Answer:

    4️⃣ ₹2,000

    Explanation :

    The difference between simple interest and compound interest at the rate of 10% for 2 tear is ₹20.

    Find the principal.

    Let’s take the principal as ‘p’

    We know that,

    → S. I. = p × r × t/100

    → S. I. = p × 10 × 2/100

    → S. I. = 20p/100

    And also,

    The C. I. = Amount – principal

    Or,

    → p(1 + r/100)ⁿ – p

    → p(1 + 10/100)² – p

    → p(11/10)² – p

    → 121p/100 – p

    → 21p/100

    Given,

    → C. I. – S. I. = 20

    → 21p/100 – 20p/100 = 20

    → p/100 = 20

    → p = 2000

    ∴ The principal is ₹2,000

    _____________________

    Formula used :

    1. Amount = p(1 + r/100)ⁿ

    p = principal

    r = rate

    n = time

    2. Simple interest = p × r × t/100
