Correct Answer: INR 7.5


Solution : Let the principal amount be P.
Given, Simple interest for 2 years = INR 150
Simple interest for 1 year = INR 75
Rate of interest = 10% per annum.
The difference between compound interest and simple interest for two years at the same rate of interest is the interest on the first year's interest.
Required difference = 10% of 75
= INR 7.5
Hence, the correct answer is INR 7.5.
