Correct Answer: Rs. 100
Solution : Given: Compound Interest = Rs. 102 Rate = 4% per annum Time = 2 years When compounded annually, Compound interest $CI= P(1+\frac{R}{100})^{T}-P$, where $A$ is the total amount, $P$ is the principal amount, $R$ is the rate of interest per annum and $T$ is the time in years. So, $102=P(1+\frac{4}{100})^{2} - P$ ⇒ $102=P(\frac{26}{25})^{2} - P$ ⇒ $102=P[(\frac{26}{25})^{2}-1]$ ⇒ $102=P[\frac{676-625}{625}]$ ⇒ $102×625=51P$ $\therefore P=1250$ Required simple Interest $=\frac{\text{Principal × Rate × Time}}{100} = \frac{1250 \times 4 \times 2}{100} = 100$ Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 100.
