Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Given Principal (P) = ₹10,000, Rate (R) = 10%, Time (T) = 3 years.

Simple Interest (SI) = (P × R × T) / 100 = (10,000 × 10 × 3) / 100 = ₹3,000.

Compound Interest (CI) = P(1 + R/100)^n - P = 10,000(1 + 10/100)^3 - 10,000 = 10,000(1.1)^3 - 10,000 = 13,310 - 10,000 = ₹3,310.

Difference = CI - SI = 3,310 - 3,000 = ₹310.
