The difference between simple and compound interests compounded annually on a certain sum of money for 2 years at 4% per annum is Re. 1. The sum (in Rs.) is:
625
630
640
650
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let the sum be Rs. x. Then,

C.I. = x 1 + 4 2 - x = 676 x - x = 51 x.
100 625 625

S.I. = x x 4 x 2 = 2x .
100 25

51x - 2x = 1
625 25

x = 625.

P = D[100/r] * 2.
P = 1[100 * 100/4 * 4].
P = 625.

I guess X must be the principal but not the sum.

DIFF * 100 * 100/R * R.

1 * 100 * 100/16 = 625.

D*100^2/r^2 = 1*100*100/4*4 = 10000/16 = 625.
