From where this 420 came from?

In the question mention the half of the C.I We get C.I=840 so in S.I=420.
So,
S.I = pnr/100.
420 = p.3.8/100 simplify it got the answer.
So,
S.I = pnr/100.
420 = p.3.8/100 simplify it got the answer.

I am not getting till now why 4000 subtract there, in rest of the question we don't deduct it.

@Tamanna.
In question simple interest ll calculate with half of C.I. Find C.I first then so CI = 840 then we get it half so 420. Then u SI formula you'll get it.

See friends.
P = 4000.
R = 10.
T = 2 years.
So, C.I = P(1+r/100)^n.
C.I = 4000(110/100*110/100).
C.I = 4000(11/10*11/10).
C.I = 40*121.
C.I = 4840.
Then 4840-4840 = 840.
Given that half of the C.I i.e. 420.
= 420 = P*3*8/100 = 1750.
P = 4000.
R = 10.
T = 2 years.
So, C.I = P(1+r/100)^n.
C.I = 4000(110/100*110/100).
C.I = 4000(11/10*11/10).
C.I = 40*121.
C.I = 4840.
Then 4840-4840 = 840.
Given that half of the C.I i.e. 420.
= 420 = P*3*8/100 = 1750.

Is there any short cut for this question?

If p = 420.
Now 420*3*8/100 = 100.8 after solving I get.
Then how can value is 1750?
