Correct Answer: INR 20,000


Solution : Given: The difference between the compound interest and the simple interest on a certain sum of money at 10% per annum for 2 years is INR 200.
Use the formula, $CI–SI=P(\frac{R}{100})^T$ where $SI$, $CI$, $R$, $T$ are the simple interest, compound interest, rate, and time.
According to the question,
$200=P(\frac{10}{100})^2$
⇒ $200=P(\frac{1}{10})^2$
⇒ $200=P\times\frac{1}{100}$
⇒ $P=$ INR 20,000
Hence, the correct answer is INR 20,000.
