Correct Answer: Rs. 500
Solution : Rate, R = 10% Compound interest = Rs. 525 Term, n = 2 years Compound interest after 2 years = $P[(1+\frac{R}{100})^{2} –1]$ ⇒ 525 = $P[(1+\frac{10}{100})^{2} –1)]$ ⇒ 525 = $P[(1.21 –1]$ $\therefore$ P = $\frac{525}{0.21}$ = Rs. 2500 Simple interest after n years = $\frac{PnR}{100}$ Time = 2n = 4 years Rate = R ÷ 2 = 5% $\therefore$ Simple interest after 4 years = $\frac{2500×4×5}{100}$ = Rs. 500 Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 500.
