Correct Answer: Rs. 1260


Solution : Given: Principal = Rs. 56,000
Rate = 15%
Time = 2 years
We know that,
$D=P(\frac{r}{100})^2$ where $D$ = Difference between CI and SI, $P$ = Principal, $r$ = Rate of interest.
$⇒D=56000(\frac{15}{100})^2$
$\therefore D=56000\times\frac{3}{20}\times\frac{3}{20}=1260$
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 1260.
