A sum of Rs. 4.75 lakhs was invested in Company Q in 1999 for one year. How much more interest would have been earned if the sum was invested in Company P?

= Rs. 0.095 lakhs
= Rs. 9500.

2% of 4.75 = 2/100 x 4.75 = 0.095.

@Sony.

2/100 is multiplied with 4.75.
So 2*4.75 gives 9.5 then 9.5/100 is .095.

10 * 4.75-8 * 4.75 = 9.5.

P= 10% of 4.75,
Q= 8% of 4.75.

10% - 8% = 2% of 4.75,
2%/100 * 4.75 = 0.095.
= 9500.
