Correct Answer: Rs. 400


Solution : Given:
The difference between CI and SI for 2 years at a 10% Rate of interest is Rs. 4.
Difference between Compound Interest and Simple Interest for 2 terms = $\frac{PR^{2}}{100^{2}}$, where $R$ is the rate of interest per term and $P$ is principal.
Putting the values in the given formula, we have,
⇒ $4=\frac{P×10×10}{10000}$
⇒ $4=\frac{P}{100}$
⇒ $P=4×100=400$
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 400.
