When difference between compound and simple interest for three years is ₹124 at 10% interest per annum, the principal is ₹______

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 4000.

Difference (CI – SI) for 3 years = P × (R/100)² × (300 + R)/100

124 = P × (10/100)² × (300 + 10)/100

124 = P × (1/100) × (310/100)

124 = P × 310 / 10000

P = 4000
