The difference between simple interest and compound on Rs. 1200 for one year at 10% per annum reckoned half-yearly is:
Rs. 2.50
Rs. 3
Rs. 3.75
Rs. 4
None of these
Answer: Option
Explanation:

S.I. = Rs 1200 x 10 x 1 = Rs. 120.
100

C.I. = Rs. 1200 x 1 + 5 2 - 1200 = Rs. 123.
100

Difference = Rs. (123 - 120) = Rs. 3.
