View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

₹ 83

Why this answer is correct

Given data:

Principal (P) = ₹ 8,300

Rate of interest (r) = 10%

Time (t) = 2 years

Concept:

Difference between compound interest and simple interest.

Solution:

Simple interest (SI) = (P × r × t)/100

⇒ ₹ 8,300 × 10% × 2 = ₹ 1660

Compound Interest (CI) = P × [(1 + r/100)t - 1]

⇒ ₹ 8,300 × [(1 + 10/100)2 - 1] = ₹ 1743

Difference = CI - SI

⇒ ₹ 1743 - ₹ 1660 = ₹ 83

Hence, the difference between CI and SI is ₹ 83.
