Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 1 : Rs 50000

Given

The difference between the compound interest and simple interest on a certain sum of money at 10% per annum for 2 years is Rs 500.

Formula used

CI - SI = (P × R2)/(100)2

CI = Compound interest

SI = Simple interest

P = Principal

R = Rate

Calculation

According to question

⇒ 500 = (P × (10)2)/10000

⇒ P = (500 × 10000)/100

∴ Principal is Rs.50000
