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.
