Correct Answer: Rs. 10,000
Solution : Given: The difference between the simple interest and the compound interest = Rs. 310 R = 10 % Time = 3 years Let the sum be $P$. $P(1+\frac{10}{100})^{3}–P–(\frac{P×10×3}{100})=310$ ⇒ $P[(\frac{11}{10})^{3}–1–\frac{3}{10}]=310$ ⇒ $P[(\frac{1331–1000-300}{1000})]=310$ ⇒ $P[(\frac{31}{1000})]=310$ ⇒ $P=\frac{310×1000}{31}$ ⇒ $P=10000$ Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 10,000.
