Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 1 : ₹100

Given:

Compound interest on a sum = Rs. 102

Rate of interest = 4%

Time = 2 years

Formula Used:

For Compound Interest

CI = P(1 + r/100)t – P

For Simple Interest

SI = P × R/100 × T

Calculation:

102 = P( 1 + 4/100)2 - P

⇒ 102 = P(104/100)2 – P

⇒ 102 = 1.0816P – P

⇒ 102 = 0.0816P

⇒ P = 1250

Now to calculate SI

SI = 1250 × 4/100 × 2 = 100

∴ The simple interest will be Rs.100
